What a month we’ve had! Its been quite a while since we’ve written, but we’ve been so busy its hard to do much else! We had two Junebug shows as October drew to a close, one on the 28th and another on the 30th. We then celebrated Halloween down in Burnsville with Cortney and Jeff. We got all dressed up and headed down there to meet them at some restaurants and bars. We had a great time – some, probably Cortney and Jeff, would admit that we had almost too much fun on Halloween – but everyone survived and we had a fantastic evening. We capped off the weekend with another Junebug show on Sunday the 2nd, – which was fun, too.
November has just flown by. Of course, the election had been a big part of our lives for a long time, and we were both very happy to head to the voting booth on November 4th and cast our ballots. We spent the rest of the day enjoying what turned out to be our last warm day of the fall, raking leaves in our yard and trying to ignore the constant worries about the outcome of the night. Around 6 we came in from outside and enjoyed snacks and beer, waiting for the results of the night to pour in. We were elated when the election was called for Obama, whom we’ve both been supporting for several months. It was fun to have election night at our house as well – as the results were finalized and the TV stations had “called” the election, we both went outside, and we could hear cheering, honking horns, and fireworks from all around our neighborhood. It felt like real comradeship in our area, and we loved it.
The first weekend in November we headed to Aberdeen to get in some quality time with Liza’s folks. It was nice to see everyone, and it was nice to be in town for no real reason, just to see the family and hang out with them. We ended up staying until Monday, and then driving back to Minneapolis. Last week was a total Junebug blur – they had a great show on Tuesday night, and then they had two shows on Thursday at two different locations. Needless to say we were ready for the weekend.
We spent last weekend relaxing, and this week so far has been full as well. Liza is scrambling to get all her work done and all of her money made by the end of the week so she can take a real vacation next week for Thanksgiving. We’ve got a Junebug show tomorrow night, and Tony turns 30 on Saturday, so we’ll be having a busy weekend as well.
We promise pictures will be in the online album soon – its on Liza’s never ending to-do list. Stay tuned!
