It's been quite a while since I last wrote. I didn't realize it had been so long until I looked at the page yesterday.
Before I forget
HAPPY
     
THANKSGIVING!!!!

We had a very nice weekend at Monica & Pramod's in Indianapolis. Bryan knows Monica from his undergrad days. We drove down on Saturday morning. When we got there, we all sat and talked for a bit then went for a long walk down a path close to their house. We also saw a little neighborhood "downtown" that's really close to their house. If we'd stayed longer, I would have liked to go to the little shops that were there. We went out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Then came back to their house and talked for a while longer before going to bed.

Sunday, we got up and had bagels for breakfast. We looked at their photos from their trip to India in January. Pramod is from there and it was Monica's first trip to meet her in-laws. We had some Indian food for lunch and then headed home. It was really nice to just talk and get to know Monica and Pramod.

So now I've met two of Bryan's friends. I know I have a lot more to meet.

We're starting to think about where we want to go on our honeymoon. We started out thinking about Victoria, British Columbia until I started pricing things. Then I realized that we could go to England or Ireland for about the same price, if not cheaper than Victoria. Then Bryan mentioned he wants to go to Iceland, so I started researching that and it looks beautiful, so it's been added to our list of places to go. We'll have to seriously start looking and pricing things after the first of the year. I'll definitely keep you up to date on our plans.

We haven't been up to a whole lot in the last several weeks.
We tried to take Bryan's nephew Michael out Trick-or-Treating and we weren't very successful. We got to the first house and he wasn't in the mood to Trick-or-Treat. I think he wanted to go out with his dad, who got home later in the evening.

We went to see Kristin Hersh at the Old Town School of Folk Music on November 15.

Need to go, Bryan is leading a book group tonight on the book we just finished, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich. It was good. It was a bit slow and about 100 pages into it I was sure that I was going to have to miss the book group. But once I sat down, really read it and got into it, I read the last 255 pages in a week. Since Bryan's next book group isn't for a while, I'm going to read a chick-lit book - The Pursuit of Alice Thrift by Elinor Lipman.
