Is it October yet?

This has been quite a month for us and not in a good way at all.  When we returned from our honeymoon at the end of August, I was sick and remained sick for almost two weeks.  We've decided that I caught something on the cruise ship.  Our nephew had his first birthday party in Austin, and we really wanted to go.  I was feeling fine by then but Stewart was not.  By the time the weekend came around, Stewart was feeling awful.  He insists that he caught whatever I had and it weakened his immune system.  He ended up with Strep Throat.  The day that I finally convinced Stewart to go to the doctor also ended up being the same day I was attacked by four small dogs while on my morning run.  Who knew little dogs could be so vicious?? I ended up with two bites and a scratch.  Animal control was called out and the dogs were quarantined.  Luckily, they all had just gotten their rabies vaccines (because animal control had been on them to do it!).  My bites are healing, and I'll probably have two small scars to show for it.  Yesterday was the first day all month where we were both fine.  We're ready for this to be all over!

We think our house has sold, and Stewart has started the paperwork for that.  The nice part is that one of the guys that Stewart works with is going to buy it and his lease isn't up until December so we'll be able to stay in the house until we leave.  I was very stressed about having to move somewhere before we leave for India.

Not too many things happening other than playing the waiting game. This past Saturday we had a yard sale which went a lot better than we anticipated.  We did learn that people are very serious about their yard sales! We had not put up any signs yet, it was pitch black outside, all the lights were off and a truck pulled up and three people got out with flashlights!  I had to wake up Stewart who was napping on the couch!  We still have a lot left over and are planning on having another one in a couple of weeks.

I leave on Saturday to fly to Baton Rouge for a week.  My sister is going on a business trip for a week and her husband goes to work at 6am so she needs someone to bring her kids to school and daycare.  I'm definitely looking forward to spending time with the kiddos and my family.
