Deb is pregnant and due on May 1st, 2011!!!
That’s right! We are expecting next spring and Deb has just completed the first trimester of her pregnancy. As of the end of October, she is 14 weeks along and doing great! Aside from her clothes maybe being a little snug and her bedtime arriving about a half-hour earlier each day, things are going about as normal as they usually are for us. She hasn’t had too many cravings, except she really wants fruit and pizza, but she really liked both those things before she was pregnant. Deb has been flooded with maternity clothes from friends and also done a little shopping on her own. We don’t know when those clothes will be needed, but at least we are well prepared! We have heard the first thing we need to do is to look at daycare centers, so that is our priority item before Thanksgiving.
It is hard for anything else to really follow that news, so here it goes! On October 9th, we had 2 weddings we wanted to attend. Chris Wahl and Michelle got married in Chicago, while Amy Dryden and Kurt got married in Indianapolis. Amy was a bridesmaid in our wedding and is one of Deb’s closest friends. We decided a long time ago that I would attend the wedding in Chicago and Deb would stay in Indy for Amy’s wedding. I went up on Friday and spent the night with the Anderson’s, where I got a chance to catch up with Jeremy and Erin, along with their daughter, Emma. We played some Wii games, had some beers, watched some re-runs on TV and ate some pizza, so apparently things don’t change that much from college. I attended the wedding the next day with a large group of our friends from the flag football league. I crashed in the Bassett’s room and drove back with Brandon and Diane. Deb enjoyed Amy and Kurt’s wedding. She enjoyed the ability to see her friend Rick Richardson after so many years along with a chance to see Julie, Bill, Angie and Kristin. Angie and Deb actually set Amy and Kurt up a few years ago so it was fun to see the matchmaking actually work!!
On October 16th, we attended the Light the Night event for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was held at Victory Field here in Indianapolis and the weather couldn’t have been better. We had a good group of family that attended this year, with the Caslers, Wahmans, Vandervaarts (Pete’s family included) attending. Dad has recovered well from his fall in September and is doing much better. My comments last month were a little dramatic and he was back to using his injured hand early in October. 
A few more items from this month:• Pete joined me in a basketball league that plays on Tuesday evenings. It is organized through a guy I know at work and we lost one a few guys from last season, so Pete was able to help out.
• We had to replace our kitchen faucet this month, which I didn’t trust myself to do correctly so we invited Pat and Paul Casler over for dinner so Paul could help/supervise my work!
