A Bit Behind

Hey Guys. Sorry for the delay in our posts. Things have been crazy busy as usual and we still don't have the internet at the apartment yet. That should be fixed by the end of the week. We are in Lincoln and doing great. I (Heather) just finished my second day of work. I really like it.... even more that I had thought I would. I am learning so much and love the patients. I think it's going to be a great experience! Jon has been unpacking and finishing up with his edits. He will not start until the 31st. He's learning what it's like to be the one at home alone all day and I'm learning what it's like to go like crazy all day. We both said tonight that we never want to switch roles like this full time. :) See..... already learning so much!

The apartment is great and we are pretty much completely moved in. I promise I will post pictures soon. I just haven't had a chance to get good pictures yet. The golf course that we are on is really nice and we are looking forward to tee times in the near future. We are hoping to have a chance to take in a bit more of the city this weekend and then we will begin the church hunt on Sunday.

So..... as stated before, I am a bit behind in posts so here are pictures from our last few days in Indy. There are a lot of pictures that look similar but with different friends inserted. Sorry for the repetitiveness but now a bunch of you will get to see yourselves on the blog. :) My apologies to anyone we missed that night.... it was a bit crazy... and... my apologies for any misspellings on names.

Ryan (Jon's brother) was in town over the weekend so we got to spend a little bit of time with him which we were very thankful. We got to catch up with him and see pictures from his recent dig. We are so proud of him!
Monday night we had an ice cream social at our house to say a final goodbye to everyone. We were so thankful to all our friends and fam that showed up. It was a fun night!

Steve, Melissa, and Isabella Davis- friends from law school
Ron, Sharon, Maddy, Grant, and Samson Stohler- dear friends from our church
Mike and Kate Runge- friends from law school and Jon's partner in crime from the law review
Stuart and Sarah- friends of ours from church (good luck at school this year guys!)
Chris and Eva Taylor- our family from small group
Leslie Russell- our family from small group
Sam, Alyssa, Jacob and Noah Milligan- dear friends from church and our recent accountability at church (if we miss, these boys are on us! :))
Jamie, Joey, Addison, and Arin Alvis- friends from school (I commuted with Joey)
Jon and Lindsey Bont- friends from school 
Matt Ehinger and Eric and Sara Long- friends from law school
Eric, Nikki, Aiden, and baby Powers- family from small group
Cary, Kristi, and baby Smith- family from small group
Shawn, Jessica, and baby Miller- family from small group
Chris, Michelle, Maddy, Emma, and Kaitlin Dell- our realtors and friends

Tuesday was family day. We spent the day with Mom Hughes hanging out and doing fun things. Dad Hughes ended up having to work so we missed out on spending time with him. :(

We took in the state fair:
Our favorite fair food- BBQ pork and corn on the cob!
Jon- he does this to me all the time. He dances around like a weirdo to make me laugh but also makes everyone around him stare while trying not to laugh. Oooo I love him.
Dale and I got a pedicure- some odd 4 toed thing also thought he should be in the picture
To end the day, we drove the southern part of the city to meet Grandma and Grandpa Hughes and Fred and Sis for dinner. We had a good visit and we were so thankful to be able to say goodbye to them.
And that's all for now. I have a bunch more to post. If only this coffee shop's connection was a bit faster..... miss you all and we'll post again soon! J&H
