Acro Yoga and Book Club

Hi everyone,
So, I had a really great day.  First, Jesse and I went to an Acro Yoga class this afternoon at the Lincoln Yoga Center.  Acro Yoga is a mix between acrobatics and yoga with a bit of Thai massage thrown in.  If you search "Acro Yoga" on YouTube, you'll find all sorts of awesome demonstrational videos that are way beyond our Acro ability level.  We did some Acro Yoga this summer, and it was fun getting to demonstrate some of the stunts and help spot other groups. I even got to base some stunts, which was so much fun!

Then I went and tutored a 10-year-old girl named Eliza in German, as I do every Thursday and Sunday, which is so much fun.  After that it was off to book club.  We were discussing the book What Alice Forgot, which I really enjoyed.  I stayed up late finishing it last night, because I couldn't put it down.  I haven't read a book I liked that much in a while!

We had book club at Roddy's house.  Roddy was the founder of book club, and she is currently living in a suburb of Chicago, so she can help take care of her new grandson, but she still had her house in Lincoln, so we got to meet at her place, since she was home for Thanksgiving.  Normally we pick a theme and then everyone brings a dish based on that theme.  Last night we just had pizza and various side dishes, as well as a great chat.  I forgot to take pictures during book club, but I did remember to take some afterwards.

All in all, I had a great day, but I am absolutely exhausted.  I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and having a break from school.  We're going up to Wisconsin on Friday, so there should be a blog post about this soon!

Until then,

Amy
