Date Night!

 

Grant and I usually set aside one night a week to get out of the house and go eat somewhere.  Usually it's Wednesday night and usually we go to our favorite Pei Wei!  This week, however, we had a few things to celebrate, so we decided to go a little bigger and eat at a Sushi restaurant called Virago in downtown Nashville.  Grant had never been before, so we were excited to get out and try something new this week!



Things we were celebrating:

1.  Everyone is finally home!

In October of last year my mom was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer.  Although it was a scary time, she has pulled through great and just found out she is now cancer free!!! YAY!  Two weeks ago she had surgery to remove both breasts, so I made the trip to Michigan for the surgery and spent about a week with her, my step-father, and my grandparents getting her to doctor appointments, the surgery, and then home to recover.  Although she has had a few minor set backs since the surgery, overall she is doing pretty good and just resting and recovering. Here is a picture of her at home the day after surgery.  She looks pretty good for just having both boobs removed! :)


Lookin Good, Mom!

As soon as I got home from her house, Grant took off with four other pharmacy school friends for a week of relaxation in Destin, Florida, to celebrate their last spring break ever.  Although they all definitely needed the break, I was a little jealous that I was not there.  I mean, I'm so white right now it's scary!  Check out these hotties on the beach!


Josh, Todd, Grant, Brandon, & Curt!

We both finally made it safely home this last weekend, and figured that we'd only seen each other for a total of about two days out of the last 16, so we were both excited to be home together!

2.  Grant received his rotation schedule for his fourth year!

We are super excited about the schedule that he got, and even more excited that this means we are closer to being done!  Definitely worth celebrating!! 

3.  We got our tax return back!

Whoo hooo!  Who doesn't love a good return?!  When I'm the only one working and your husband is in a gazillion billion dollar graduate school, this is definitely celebratory!

Here are couple pics from our night out:

If you know me at all you know how much I love ice cream and sprinkles! So, of course we had to finish the night with some cake batter ice cream and sprinkles from Sweet CeCe's.  You can't beat it!
