baaa

well i feel a little sheepish posting after a very long dry spell. especially because a few posts ago i vowed to post more. mmm...

i can't really claim busyness as an excuse, because our regent semester ended right before thanksgiving. i can, however, fill in the past few weeks in case anyone is keeping a jodi timeline and is fretting about a break from november to december 2006. haha

first, the wedding. scott and holly were married in omaha on november 18th. she was beautiful. he was dashing. they had a military wedding complete with a tunnel of swords for the new couple to walk through. (i tried to convince them to re-create the tunnel for me to walk thru, but it never happened) the whole family was there and in the wedding party, which was so much fun. i'll post some pictures before too long.

thanksgiving. we were in ocala, with todd for most of the week. scott and holly came for a few days after their honeymoon. of course, we ran the ymca turkey trot at 8 am on thanksgiving morning. they say it's good to have a starting point to look back on. let's just say that i hope one day i can look back on that running time and see that i've come a very long way! the low point was on a hill, i heard a whooshing behind me. this mom pushing a 60 pound stroller was running through the grass beside me. it took all of 3 seconds for her to power past me and fly up the hill.

regent break. these last few weeks, we've been scoping the melbourne area for places to live. the house-hunting process is very time consuming, but it's been fun to think that we might really find a place to land soon. i'll post any updates. it's a beautiful time of year here. we put up our mini-tree in the living room and some white lights around the apartment. i'm sure matt gets sick of the dim lighting, but i just love it!

until next time...
