It's been a while since our last update and we've been very busy!
Football season for UNI is oficially over as of last weekend. They managed to play all three rounds of the playoffs at home as the Number 3 seed in the Division. We lost 20-21 in the last seconds of round 3 against Richmond last weekend. HEARTBREAK!

Just minutes before the heartbreaking end!Traveling for UNI and Iowa games kept us busy most of October and November on top of settling into the new house!

Our cat Powder longing to go outside and chase Bucky the Wonder Squirrel!We spent Thanksgiving in Kalona with Aaron's family this year. Aaron's family invited my parents down for Thanksgiving dinner as well. My mom hit a deer on the way home though and beat up the Subaru pretty bad! Luckily, they were safe and unharmed.
The Saturday following Thanksgiving, our good friends TJ and Jennifer Voss were married! The wedding took place in Kalona as well. Aaron was the best man in the wedding, and TJ will be the best man in ours!

My Aunt Eileen took some wonderful engagement photos for us around Cedar Falls and on the UNI campus. I've included some of the photos in this entry as well. She does an awesome job and will also be taking the pictures at our wedding.
Wedding update: My mom and I drove around Cedar Rapids and found the location for our rehearsal dinner and reserved a block of rooms at a hotel. The rehearsal dinner will take place outdoors at Ellis Park in Cedar Rapids. Aaron's parents have arranged for a wonderful caterer to come on site for the event!
