Brief Updates

It's been pretty quiet around the Stelsel household lately. Not much to report. I continue to kick butt in fantasy football, although I did lose my first game last weekend, which dropped me to second place. But I'm still holding steady with the most points, which could play in my favor come time for playoffs.

David is continuing his study routine, although his schedule right now is less severe than it is in the spring. He'll hit the books hard come January/February.

Work is good. I recently took a trip to D.C. (my first business trip since I started working here). It was a successful trip. The best part was I got to see my friend Jeff (formerly of IFSA, otherwise known as "that place that shall not be named"). We had lunch at the Capitol and got to catch up for a bit.

Did I mention I started a book club? I started the Finer Things Book Club back in May after I finished school. I decided I needed something to occupy my time. You know I love to read, and I've always wanted to be in a book club, so I just started my own. We are 10 members strong. We meet once a month to talk about the book we picked (among other classy topics), eat, and drink (of course). It's a great way for me to get out of the house and have some girl time. And it gets me reading books I normally wouldn't pick up. I'm really enjoying it. This month we're reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Haven't started it yet because I'm finishing up another book, but I can't wait. I've heard great things about it. Have you read it? What did you think?

In other news, we are patiently awaiting the arrival of our best friends' son! Lindsay is at the hospital in labor as I type this. I went to visit her and Russell last night shortly after they checked in. They are doing well, but ready to get the show on the road. I'm hoping to meet their new baby tonight. Hopefully he will make an appearance today. :) I'll keep you posted (with pictures of course)....
