India Update

Well, we got some news on when we'll be leaving for India, and it doesn't look like it'll be this month .... or next month ... or the month after.  At this point, it looks more like February or March.  This doesn't really affect too much going on in our lives right now except that we are in the process of selling our house and had anticipated only staying until December at the latest.  Luckily, the people who are buying it have been amazingly understanding and have said that we can stay in the house until we leave and they know it might not be for another 4.5 months.  Whew.  Huge load of stress off of us right there.  I mean, really, who wants to move into temporary housing for a few months?  I just want one big move.

On the plus side, this means that we will be here for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  We're spending Thanksgiving in Baton Rouge and heading to Richmond, VA for Christmas.  It will be nice to spend both of the holidays with our family.  I only got to spend a brief amount of time with Stewart's brother's family at the wedding and that's whose house we'll be going to.  It'll be really nice to spend more time with them and get to know them better.  Plus it's more time with our nieces and nephews!  Love all those kids!

So while it could be frustrating that everything keeps getting pushed back, we know that everything happens for a reason, and we'll continue to look on the bright side of everything.  We know our life will be one great adventure and there's no reason to stress over things we have no control over.  We'll keep everyone updated as we learn more...
