Filed in holidays, IU

I am right in the middle of a four day weekend, and despite the (relative) cold weather, it has been truly wonderful. It is a treat to be able to run some errands on a weekday late-morning when no one else is out and about. I finally got some new eye glasses. I know my old ones must have been old because they are so much heavier than my new ones.

This weekend we have also been working on a few wedding details…not too much but at least something to cross off the list. We did go to a bridal fair earlier this month (Tim was happy that we didn’t stay very long). We got a few ideas concerning photographers and djs, and a lead on a bakery for a cake. Of course we need to do more “official tasting” of the cake that we liked the best before we officially decide. My next focus though is my dress. I am doing dress homework (sheath vs. a-line?) and will be ready to shop when my mom comes in town in February.

Tim and I are lifetme IU alumni members, and have recently attended some events with the San Antonio Club including a basketball game at one of our favorite bars and a reception with the IUB Chancellor and Alumni President. It is fun to watch a game with other IU fans, everyone showed up at the bar with their IU shirts on (including us!). Tim has been recruited to possibly work on the San Antonio Club website…it is a new alumni club because it just split with Austin to form two clubs. At the reception, I was recruited to volunteer at some college fairs in this area at an IU table. I said I would love to. It took me awhile to really feel that I liked Indiana, but I guess that at some point I did become a IU fan!

Misc Notes: Tim and I rented About a Boy this weekend, pretty good. I am reading the Alchemist, a gift from a great friend…but such a quick read. I will have to dig around for something new after tonight when I finish it. Tim and I are both suffering mild cedar allergies, which should be fading soon. Loki is great, so big. He has taught himself to open cabinet doors and drawers and then climb in. As much as I want to be proud…we are not sure if this is something he will (hopefully) grow out of.

Have a great week!
