On June 22, Tom and I celebrated 5 years of marriage. For our special day, we decided to stay home and cook together. We made a new dish that ended up being really good!! Our menu consisted of Italian style biscuits, Parmesan asparagus, Grilled Chicken with Blueberry chutney and for dessert Cream puffs with chocolate and strawberries.
We've both been keeping busy with my teaching and working at Younkers and Tom with classes. Actually believe it or not, this week he is taking his mid-terms already. The summer is going by too fast for me. Other than work and school, we have been able to schedule in a few fun things. We were able to meet up with Tom's mom, dad, Lynette, and Carrie and her husband Jon in Chicago to celebrate the 4th of July. It has been a family tradition since Tom was in jr. high or high school. We had a great time and got some good photos. We were also able to meet the new edition to Jon and Carrie's family--Boo, their dog. And Tom was able to grill on his dad's brand new grill. It was really nice. We also got the chance to play the Wii made by nintendo. It was great fun. We even got a picture of Tom's mom bowling. I couldn't believe how sore I was after bowling a few games. It was great to be with family.
For the past few weeks, my grandmother has not been doing so well. Tom and I were able to see her last weekend while she was in the hospital. And when we had to leave, it was like saying goodbye for the last time. Since then they have moved her into a hospice.
