Let's jump right into my weekend recap:
Fridays are half days at my family med rotation which is awesome! I am 2 hours from home this month so being able to leave after lunch allowed me to spend some time with husband and puppy Friday night. G picked up takeout on the way home from work, we took Bella on a long walk, then it was snuggles and Dateline in bed… perfection! I stopped by Fresh Market on the way home and picked up these beauties:
I swear, fresh flowers do so much for a home and for my mood!
He speaks my love language!
Saturday I was up bright and early to get a few hours of studying done. I have my end-of-rotation exam next week and have been procrastinating big time. G played golf with his cousins so I had the house to myself. Then it was a gym date and dinner outside at Mellow Mushroom. The weather was amazing and we really wanted to go somewhere to sit outside and have drinks! My sister and niece tagged along too. Only 10 more days until she gives birth to my nephew! eeeee!
Sunday we went to church then grocery shopped, cleaned the house, and got ready to have our families over for dinner! We had both of our families over to celebrate Mother's Day. The menu: chicken and pineapple kabobs, corn on the cob, squash and zucchini, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was so delicious… the perfect summer meal!
Side note: I wish we could celebrate my mom every day, not just 1 day a year. She deserves all the presents and love in the world. She is a true gem. Patient, loving, selfless, beautiful, God-fearing, caring. I got the best of the best when God gave me her as a momma.
I am also super thankful for my MIL. I couldn't have hand-picked a better one. Marrying into a family that I loved and that would love me was high on my list of qualities for the guy I would marry. I hit it out of the park with my MIL. She has taken me in as one of her own and I do not take that for granted!
Today starts week 3 at my family medicine rotation. Halfway done! Being 2 hours away from my husband during the week is getting old, but I am making the most of it. I hope you have a happy Monday!
Fresh flowers in the house are life changing I swear! They just make me so happy! Glad you had a great weekend - Happy Monday!
