hey all! since this blog's going to be extremely long, i'm doing it mv-style:

highlights of this past week:
-- rock 'n bowl with the girls! we finally did it! yay for bowling really badly in a smoky light show with 80s-90s music blasting :)
-- the amazing northwestern production of into the woods that allison took me to see (agony... that can cut like a knife... oh well, back to my wife....)
-- thanksgiving break!!!! though it was difficult to get home with the snow and all, i had a fantastic time
-- thanksgiving dinner! mv and i cooked everything, duck, mashed potatoes, butternut squash soup, pumpkin pie, mmmmm
-- tons of crafting, painting, and knitting with mv
-- harry potter! fun fun fun
-- going back to mrs. haddad's to help with the little ones' makeup for the nutcracker. they still remember me :)
-- going to the kennedy center with my mom to see the san francisco ballet
-- decorating the whole house beautifully for the holidays. as mv says, i'm anal-retentive, and no one else is allowed to put up anything :p

now i'm back at school, but it's really only for a week, so i'll be home in no time! it's snowing tons outside, so i'll be spending the rest of the day warm in my room.
