October in Review

We sure had a busy October, filled with lots of fun! We're happy November will be a little calmer, so Craig can start studying for finals. There are only 5 weeks left in the semester - I can't believe it! Photo overload:

 Craig and I drove to Des Moines at the first of the month to go to Les Miserables. It was pretty awesome! I'm still pretending to sing like Fantine...

Craig and I then headed to Nauvoo, IL the following weekend. Craig remembers this diner when he went several years ago, but it was unfortunately closed when we went.

After the "carriage" ride with the team of horses, Bill and Bob. These guys were strong - there were probably 15+ people on the "carriage".

In front of the Mississippi River - can you tell it was windy??

It was beautiful when we went! Autumn is definitely my favorite season. I loved the vibrant red leaves. 

This picture reminds me of the strength the pioneers must have had to leave a temple they just built. Can you imagine walking away from there? We were able to attend a session and it really is a beautiful temple with an amazing history and spirit.

Craig is ready to make a trip to the well...

In front of the schoolhouse. We were horrible at the phonetic reading activity. We couldn't get past current English /American rules.

Last stop was Carthage Jail - kind of an awkward picture, I know.

We went to another play. Craig got us season tickets to the traveling Broadway performances in Omaha. Shrek was the first of the series. We had tons of fun!

This past weekend, Craig's mom and brother Kyle came for a visit. The three of them went to the Huskers game. I was happy to stay warm at home...

We also headed down to Kansas and Craig and Kyle went to the Chiefs/Raiders game. Both were happy that the Raiders won!
