The House of Soon: August 2010

Man, I am waaay haaaaay behind in my posting so I'm hoping to catch up this week since I'm a stay-at-home wife (this week and this week only. More on that later...)

Eric and I kinda impromptu decided we would spend this year traveling to our old haunts re-visiting our pre-Dallas lives. We started with a Fourth of July trip to Indianapolis which is where I lived for three years before I made the big move to the big D.

The new Colts stadium. I miss you, Peyton...

I spent the first night and day with one of my favorite people, Cindy From Indy.

Cindy and me just before I moved to Dallas. She is one of my most special friends, and I miss her so much.

We had a fun night reminiscing with friends. I seriously can't believe it's been eight years since this small-town southern girl left the comfort of sweet tea and SEC for the corn fields of the Midwest. What a journey!

Cindy and Lisa - two of my first (and best) friends in Indy!

My first house! I lived in Broad Ripple which was such a cool part of town. I miss my little bungalow & neighborhood.

We spent the rest of our trip with my uncle Kim and aunt Krystal. In the true spirit of Eric's gastronomy we went for an Ethiopian food adventure at a place called Oak of Mamre. We had to call ahead and let them know we were coming so they could start cooking our meal.

We were the only four patrons... Please bring them more biz so they can buy real fish

Mmmm...

Dig in

Preparing our coffee that was thick as tar and filtered through horse tail hair. Neighhhh.

We spent Saturday riding our bikes along the Monon Trail. If you're ever in Indy, I highly recommend a run, bike, walk or roller-blade along one of the best trails in the country!
