Dr. Chad

Phew!  What a busy week!!  I was in KC for the first part of it.  I made it back just in time for Chad's mom's arrival.  Sandi was in town for Chad's graduation.  We had a whirlwind weekend.  Wednesday night we took Sandi to Zia's on the Hill for a little St. Louis Italian.  You gotta love Zia's!!  Thursday we hit up St. Charles for a little window shopping in the cute little boutiques there and had dinner at Frazer's.

Friday was Chad's graduation at SLU.  Wow!  What a long, fabulous day!  Graduation started bright and early at 8am.  The ceremony was followed by two different receptions...one for the entire School of Arts & Sciences and the other, the smaller of the two, was for the Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Dept.  Later that night we hosted a dinner for Sandi, my family and Chad's advisor, Dr. Graves, and his wife at Sage.   Here's a few pics of the day.

Saturday we stopped by Rick's for a bit of vino before heading up the River Road to Grafton.  It was a beautiful day for a drive and a glass of wine at Aerie's Winery.  Later that afternoon we went to my mom's for a celebratory dinner for Chad.

Today I'm spending the day working...catching up from being off the last couple of days.  I'm wishing I wasn't spending the beautiful day inside, but it was definitely worth it being off the last couple of days.  Hope everyone has a great week!!

Good Times...

Wow!  It's been almost a month since I posted last!!  I can hardly believe it.  It's been so crazy the last several weeks...and I expect more craziness in the coming weeks too!  Ha!  

Time to play catch up...
Here's a random pic of my niece, Lehni, from Easter.  Sooooo cute!

Me and the girls at Casa on Cinco de Mayo!  It was sooo drizzly and cold that night, but we managed to make it outside for a bit.

Last night we had a small get together at Global Brew for Chad's impending graduation and my birthday.  It was a good time!!  Here's a couple of pics of my mom, John, Chad and I.

This coming week is going to be crazy!  I'm headed to KC for work on Monday morning.  I get back Wednesday...just in time for Chad's mom's arrival.  Sandi is coming in town for Chad's graduation on Friday.  We have lots of plans for the end of the week.  I should be thoroughly exhausted by Sunday...but it should be a good time!  Have a great week!!
