Labor Day Weekend

Thank goodness for Labor Day and an extra day off of work!  Since I took off Wed-Fri, I actually got a bonus day of getting Monday off as well which made my time off seem much longer!  Grant actually got out of his rotation at about 12 on Friday, so we packed up and headed to KY for the holiday weekend. 

Friday night Grant had his much anticipated fantasy football draft, and I was lucky enough to get to go to it with him (that was sarcastic).  Grant is the commissioner of the league, but we obviously don't have a house in KY for him to host the draft at, so luckily Jeremy volunteered!  His wife made some yummy chicken burritos, and we sat and listened to them talk about football for about six hours! Grant had told me before we got there to try not to talk to him, because I might interrupt him...that's how serious they are!
 

Ready for the draft!
 
 Ray also had a birthday this week and turned 65!  His absolute favorite restaurant is in Dexter, MO, so after running around with Kem on Saturday morning, we all got ready and piled in the car to get some ribs!  It was about an hour and half long drive, but so worth it!
 
He was excited for the Ribs!
 
 I was excited for the Okra! :)
 
We had found out earlier in the week that Gabbi was getting baptized on Sunday!  So, the whole family went to church at First Missionary so we could share in her special day.  We are proud of you Gabbs!  After church we made our rounds and got to visit with a few people, before we headed to Gran and Poppa's to celebrate mine and Ray's birthday with the fam.  We had a fun night with some delicious food and a pretty intense corn hold tournament!

 Look at that cute baby bump :)
 
 
It felt like we should be packing up to go home after dinner, but we got to stay one more night!  Monday we spent the morning playing with Kem and Ray's new puppy and then headed to the pool for the rest of the afternoon.
 
Meet Rimmy!
 
Before heading back to Nashville, we went to Paducah and ate dinner with my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins.  Sorry, no pics from there, but it was great to get to spend some time with them!
 
We had a great long weekend!  It gets harder and harder to say goodbye the longer we get to stay :(  This week is torture at work, so already looking forward to next weekend!!
 
Grant started his fourth rotation yesterday at Vandy's Informatics Department.  One more closer to graduation!
