For all you soccer fans out there, we went to a DHL event on Friday night that featured a legendary Manchester United player, Quinton Fortune. He was such a nice, funny guy and had a great story of getting picked off the streets of South Africa at age 14 to fly to England to play professional soccer, even without knowing a word of English! Ok, enough of soccer. We left the event early to go meet up with some friends at a new Thai restaurant/bar that had a great DJ and we danced all night long :)

Saturday afternoon, we were invited over to a house of one of the consulate workers for Tex-Mex. There were about 50 people there, and the margs, foods and dessert were amazing! The wife made some jalapeno margaritas (I have not even heard of this in Texas) that were excellent. Homemade salsa and 7-layer dip, tons of barbeque pork and beef for fajitas and some yummy desserts made a great first meal of the night.
Ashley and Kristiann threw a great Mardi Gras party on Saturday night. Ashley and her husband are from Louisiana, so she made an excellent red beans and rice (yes second meal of the night was consumed around 10pm). They also had beignets, king cake and hurricanes to make for an authentic N.O. experience! We stayed late with a few other couples, drinking champagne, and showing off my hidden talent of performing 90s rap tunes (to Jason's embarrassment). A little battle might have happened between me and Ashley's husband, but all in good fun!
