Hey faithful readers! It's been a while since I contributed to this blog, so I'm stepping up (although Libby's nice enough to do all the hard work of uploading the pictures). We've had an exciting two weeks in November so far. The first weekend, we decided to cram as many people into our apartment as physically possible - with 2 sets of married couples staying over in our one bedroom apartment. It worked out really well and was a really fun weekend. There were a lot of fun games played, large pancakes eaten, and the only temporary blip was a temprarily lost purse. And the housing situation was perfect. Of course, I didn't have to sleep on an air mattress that deflated in the middle of the night, so I can say that - sorry Jenny and Spencer! The Hellmans and the Marshalls were in town, and they got to experience life in Manayunk. Libby is well on her way to becoming an independence hall expert with 3 trips in the past two months.
This last weekend, Libby and I decided to spend all day Saturday downtown, and it turned into a bit of an adventure. While walking by city hall, Libby and I ran into a pro-gay marriage parade that wrapped around an entire city block. Libby and I passed by on our way to her school, and when we emerged over an hour later, the march was still going strong. It was very cool to see all the support. After that, Libby dragged me kicking and screaming to a musical (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). We went to see Hairspray, and it was a lot of fun, although I could barely hear it with Libby singing the whole thing next to me. When it was done, all that was left was for Libby and I make the leisurely mile walk back to our car, but there was one simple problem - pouring rain and no umbrella. Needless to say we swam back to the car.
Last Sunday, Libby and I had yet another exciting experience as we were invited to a fellowship dinner through a church we had started attending. The dinner was great, our fellow adults were very friendly, but the 10-15 yelling, screaming kids were kind of intimidating. We felt a little out of place as we ate with a 2 couples who each had 5 kids, a couple who had a baby, and a couple who was expecting in February.
Anyways, those are some highlights from the recent past. Enjoy some pictoral proof below.
