Uh oh, how many times do they say you have to do something before it becomes a habit? Let me ask the internet. Hmm, some say that it takes three weeks! Well, it's the third week in a row that I've written the blog, so I guess I've formed a new habit! Don't worry, I'll let Chad take over blog duties someday. Probably next week, since he'll be on spring break! We're heading to Door County for four nights of relaxation, meaning no studying or practicing music allowed! Just eating lots of Swedish pancakes.
This past week was pretty much like the week before, except we went to Chad's parents' home for the weekend. It was wonderful to see them as always! We went to a very fun zombie movie called Warm Bodies. It's a humorous take on the typical zombie movie, but it's so well done that it actually ended up being touching as well! Oh, and that reminds me. Here's a little grammar lesson for you all, since Chad talks about this subject often since starting law school. Apparently using passive voice in law papers is the worst thing you can do, and I just learned a neat trick how to identify passive voice. If you can add "by zombies" after the sentence, it's the dreaded passive voice! Example: My brains were eaten (by zombies). OR: Zombies ate my brains (by zombies -- nope!). Isn't learning fun?
On Sunday Chad and I sang a duet at his parents' church. It was great to sing together again! Afterwards we went out to lunch with his brother and our nephews. The eldest nephew kept making jokes about how old Chad is, which I enjoyed probably more than Chad did. I mean, he IS really old. Like, way older than me.
Sunday was also our sixth anniversary! We went back to Iowa City that night and enjoyed a delicious meal at Devotay, a tapas restaurant and bar. We have also been watching the HBO show Game of Thrones that Chad bought me for Christmas, so we watched a couple episodes of that. Pretty quiet day, but awesome. The nice about being married to Chad is that every day with him is awesome.
Us on our anniversary at Chad's parents' home!
The beginning of the week has been pretty standard, with Chad studying and me practicing Milhaud, but because we went on a longer run today at the gym, we treated ourselves to a new restaurant experience! The restaurant is called The Trumpet Blossom Cafe, and it's completely vegan! Normally we don't eat vegan (this Wisconsin girl loves her cheese!), but to go to a restaurant in which I can eat everything on the menu is a pretty amazing thing! This restaurant is the new version of The Red Avocado, a vegetarian restaurant that closed over a year ago due to the demolition of their building (mean landlord!!) and we are thrilled that they opened a new restaurant! The food was soo tasty and they have a great selection of beers as well! We will definitely be going back to this place!
Well, Chad has finished his homework, and it's time to watch the last episode of Game of Thrones, so I'll end it there! Have a wonderful week!
