A Rainy & Good Weekend so far!



Since Mitchell and I are on a single income/vet school income now, we don't get to experience the fine dining like we use to :). But, that is ok! Last night, we got to do a date night out for dinner and guess where we went?! SONIC. Yes! Thanks to my old co-workers at Merial who so graciously gave me a gift card (knowing that I love their beverages)! It was fun, a little silly, but we've learned to enjoy the simpler things in life! Today, Mitchell woke up at 4am to go fishing with Josh and Jim! They caught 2 fish and were real trooper fishermen - fishing in the rain! I took the day to run errands, study some anatomy and histology, and did a 12 mile run in the rain. That may sound awful, but it actually was refreshing! After looking at the anatomy of the vertebrae and skeleton of a dog for hours, it was a much needed break! Tonight, Mitchell is being the great neighbor that he is and helping Matt and Linda lay hardwood floors. And, our new neighbors moved in today! We are excited to have them! The house next to us has been empty for quite awhile. Our dogs got some new puppy friends too! (I heard them all day - haha). Hope you have a great Sunday and a great week!

Parent's Visit to Georgia for White Coat Ceremony at UGA College of Veterinary Medicine









I have to say that I have the best parents and husband anyone could ask for! Mom and Dad flew from Indiana to join Mitchell and I at my white coat ceremony for vet school. How awesome is that?! They were here for only 2 days - short trip full of lots of love! :) We ate at Flying Biscuit in the city for brunch on Saturday - YUM. The biscuits are delicious! And, Mitchell and I got to take them to the lake on the boat for their first time. It was fantastic! It wasn't a sunny day, but it was relaxing. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and drinks that evening. Today, we traveled to UGA for the white coat ceremony at the College of Veterinary Medicine. I'll post pictures next! My parents and Mitchell's support is just truly amazing - I'm so lucky! The next four years are going to be tough, but I'll make it because I have them backing me 100%. Anyways, we finished the weekend with eating yummy pizza and getting ready for school tomorrow! My parents are flying out tomorrow and I'm heading to school for my first day of classes! I'm ready to get started - I am a nerd, I know :). Have a great week!
