Mid-terms

Mid-term grades came in yesterday....A's in all 5 classes!!  Holding on to my 4.0 a little bit longer :D

I'm meeting with my advisor next week to schedule Spring classes :)

We're rich!!!!

True story ;)

A rich man is one who when his pockets are empty his children fill his arms.

Great news!

I've been having some ongoing health issues, but got some great news last week!  We've known since May '06 that I had a tumor on my liver.  Well, we had it rechecked and the scan showed my liver was enlarged and the tumor was slightly bigger.  I was referred to a gastro who did a better MRI.  The results led him to believe that it is NOT cancer, just a cyst of some sort!  Follow-up scans every 6mths-yr is what we're doing for now to monitor it.

Bruno's

As reward for medaling in Cross Country, Kevin had promised Ariana we would take just her out to a nice restaurant.  We decided to take her to our favorite Italian restaurant in Springfield, Bruno's.  

Saturday, after Olivia's soccer game, the most wonderful in-laws in the whole world went shopping with us and then took the other kids back to their place, and we headed to Bruno's for an early dinner. 

Here is what we had: 

Ariana - Galletto Arrosto al Mattone con Scalogni e Patate

Kevin - Bucatini alla Matriciana

Melanie - Gnocchi di Ricotta e Spinaci con Burro alla Salvia

Dessert - Triple chocolate mousse cake, chocolate gellato & key lime pie
