Christmas in November...

This year we're difficult to buy for when it comes to Christmas since we're (for all intents and purposes) homeless and therefore do not need any household items. We've already gotten a few very creative (and early!) gifts.

I'm finally going to try a cruise...

Jackson has finally convinced me to go on a cruise so Susie picked up the tab for us to go over Christmas. We're going to depart from New Orleans on December 23rd (LOUISIANA? CHECK! Woo hoo. I love marking off states!!) and go to Costa Maya, Mexico, Belize City, Roatan and Cozumel before spending another 1.5 days in New Orleans. I'm a little nervous to be on a cruise and will be bringing my own lifejacket. (I'm not kidding.) 

We're dining with Damon Bailey

Kathi and Grace got creative and got us a chance to meet Damon Bailey (a former IU star) for lunch and then sit in his seats at a December 8th Indiana HOOSIERS basketball game. We've joked that the best place to eat in Bedford (a small town outside of Bloomington where Damon lives) is going to be the Golden Corral. Stay tuned to find out where we actually dine. Now is the the time to get us any memorabilia that you'd like autographed as we have "unlimited" access to him during lunch and would like to tire out his arm. We're super excited to get to be in Assembly Hall again. It has been too long. Thanks, K & G, for such a thoughtful gift!
