Still here...

....I know I know, I keep saying I'm going to get better about updating and I haven't :o( I think part of the reason I don't update is because we've had so much going on this year that I just don't even know where to begin. It's been a fun but very busy summer for us. We are 3 short weeks away from heading to Chicago..woohoo and YIKES! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. The 3 weeks I'm sure will go by super fast since we have quite a bit going on.

Our friends Chris and Meenu will be getting married this Friday. Meenu is Indian and because of their tradition there are a few events that we've been invited too. One of them being the Sangeet which waw held this past Saturday.

What is a Sangeet?
The literal translation for sangeet is "music." The sangeet is the Indian version of a rehearsal dinner. At the sangeet, ladies sing traditional Indian songs, using the dholki (a two sided drum). Friends and family from both sides come together for a night of great food, dancing and singing.

It was a such a fun event and very different from anything we've ever attended. It was really sweet to see how happy and excited Meenu's parents were for her and Chris.
