Oooopise!

I've been bad and haven't updated as I promised I would. Ooopsie. Well, here I am now.

We have yet to close on our house. It's sort of been a heartbreaking week in that regard. We were suppose to close Monday Sept 15, but to make a long story short we still have not closed. It has nothing to do with us, all with the sellers. Let's just say they are not informed sellers...and we are pretty informed home buyers. It's been very frustrating to hear everyday "We'll know something tomorrow..." Sounds like everything is figured out now and we will close sometime this week. But neither Abhay nor I will believe until we are in the office signing those papers. We're looking forward to our life moving on...

Work stuff has been good for both of us. Abhay has been extremely busy at work. They keep him hoping. He loves it though. He comes home and tells me , "oh I got to drive this, I got to drive that." It's straight up his alley (no pun intended). I'm still only working part-time (2-3 days per week). I hoping numbers jump up at the center soon so I can be a bit busier in that regard.

As far as free time goes... a couple weekends ago we headed to Indianapolis to spend the day downtown, which is something we had never done before. We mostly stuck to the suburbs before. It's was a great day. I can't remember when Abhay and I had so much day. Downtown Indy is great. Lots of fun stores and restaurants. That day we also caught the Ringling Bros/Barum and Bailey's circus that was coming through the area. GREAT show. It was Abhay's first American circus and he really liked it. Well worth the money.

Yesterday, Saturday, we spent the afternoon and evening with friends at Lake Monroe (which is close to Bloomington, IN...where Indiana U is) and had a great time. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. We had a potluck and then rented a double decker pontoon for 3 hours. It was the most perfect early fall day. The landscape and lake made me think of Minnesota so very much.

That is all for now. I promise to update and write a blog as soon as we close on the house...

Enjoy your Sunday!!
