Thanksgiving Break

Benny and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We not only had the opportunity to spend some time with our families (something we haven't been able to do for Thanksgiving since we've been married), but we were also able to meet up with a couple of friends! Thursday, we traveled to Lafayette and first met up with Benny's Mom for a couple of hours before having dinner with Benny's Dad, his wife Leta, and Kyle (Benny's younger brother). We left Friday for St. Louis to spend some time with my family and on the way, we were able to meet up with some friends from Louisiana. The Burnetts were heading back to Ruston from Chicago where they had spent the week, so we met them for lunch in Mattoon, IL at the I-57, I-70 intersection. We had a great time hanging out with my family on Friday night, and then had to come back to Indiana on Saturday because I was on call at work. But, on our way out of St. Louis, we called Ben Ambuehl (very close friend of Benny's) who happened to be with family in Edwardsville (just outside of St. Louis), so we were able to have lunch with Ben and his family as well! It was a very quick two day trip, but so great to see BOTH of our families AND some unexpected friends as well.
