Its been awhile since my last post - things have been pretty busy lately. Pretty much every weekend we had something going on. Overall, things are pretty good - just looking forward to the holidays coming up and a nice break from work. Here's a little recap of the highlights of November.
November kicked off with a fun weekend in Philly at Theresa's cousin Stacy's wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a blast. It definitely turned into the heaviest drinking night of the month haha. Family get-togethers with Theresa's family are always a good time :-). The day pretty much consisted of the ceremony, drink a few beers with the family before the reception, cocktail hour, dinner/drinking/dancing/cigars at the reception, some more drinks at the hotel bar with the family, and finished the night off with an always-satisfying late-night Wawa run. It was nice to relax and do nothing the next day once we got home :-). The only downfall to the day was that we missed another wedding the same day for our friends Aubrey and Josh. Congratulations to both couples!

The weekend after that was pretty relaxing - just hung out for a lot of the weekend and took a breather. One of the highlights of the weekend was Theresa's brother Harry's surprise 30th birthday party. It was a good time and seemed pretty happy/surprised about the whole thing haha.
The third weekend of the month brought a pretty fun-filled day Saturday. My buddy Mark was in town for the weekend visiting his brother in Philly, so I went into Philly in the afternoon and hung out with him and had a couple solid beers. Later that night, my friends Keith and Fran had their house warming party, which was also a very good time! It was really good to see some friends that I haven't hung out with in awhile and to help Keith and Fran break in the house a little.
Thanksgiving week was very nice - worked from home Monday - Wednesday, and had Thursday and Friday off. We had a very relaxing Thanksgiving day hanging out at Theresa's dad's house. Lots of turkey and all the other Thanksgiving goodies. It was very nice to have a day with Theresa and her family where we could just relax all day :-). Thanksgiving week was overall very solid. It was nice to hang out with Theresa all week and unwind a bit. Even had a chance to squeeze in a decent amount of Halo: Reach.

Finally, Keith and I had a chance to brew our tripel that we have been meaning to brew for awhile now. We brewed it a couple weeks ago and bottled it this past weekend. It will be fun pop this one open in a few weeks when it is done bottle conditioning. Thinking about doing a clone brew next - maybe a clone of Ruination IPA or Ubu ale.
Looking forward to bustin the next couple weeks out and getting to Theresa's birthday and a two-week project shutdown! It will be nice to be home for a couple weeks straight to enjoy some time with Theresa and our family!
