Hola, everyone!
While we had drought-like conditions nearly all summer, this week seems to be making up for that. It has been either cold or very rainy for the past week. It was very hard to get any clear and dry time to be able to mow the lawn!
I'm continuing to enjoy my tap dance class. We will be doing a winter performance on November 18 so we have just begun learning our choreography for the song, "Ai yi, yi! It's Christmas!" by Ricky Martin. Be prepared for pure cheesiness.
Last Saturday while Matt was working on homework, I took a short trip to north side to visit my parents and to see my grandparents before they left for Florida on Sunday. Dad had just returned from China and he said that it was a nice trip. You can read about his experience here-- http://seitzupdate.blogspot.com/ . Thank you Dad for the nice gifts from China! I really like my kimono-style "silk" robe and Matt likes his Chinese soccer jersey!
On Thursday, I was able to catch up and have dinner with my friend Katie. Katie and I have been friends since 7th grade and she was in our wedding last year. She got married in January and then moved out to Boston where her husband was finishing grad school. She and Craig just moved back to Indy in July and she is now teaching the 1st-4th grade gifted and talented class at a local school. We went out to Steak n Shake near our house as she still hadn't seen our house yet or met Thor. It was nice to see her!
I have recently started a semi-obsession with crafting. With inspiration from the website Pinterest (beware: highly addictive!), I am currently working on two homemade wreaths. I also have supplies to make an Advent calendar filled with dog treats for Thor and supplies for pillow covers for some pillows in our living room. I also want to start learning how to crochet. Anyone know how and want to teach me? :-)
On Saturday morning, I received a text from Matt while I was at work. He had been having excruciating abdominal pain for the past hour and it kept getting worse. Suspecting a kidney stone, I got my charge nurse to take over my patient and came home to take Matt to the ER. After a quick CT scan, it was confirmed that he was experiencing his first kidney stone. A few doses of pain medicine, a dose of anti-nausea medicine, and one bag of IV fluids later, we were on our way home with instructions for Matt to remain active and to drink lots and lots of water. This was probably the quickest ER experience that we have ever had. We got there shortly after 5am and he was discharged shortly after 8am. He is feeling a lot better now!
Well, it looks like my iPod is finished charging which means that it is time for me to go outside for a run. I am training for a half marathon in Wisconsin that my dad is also participating in at the beginning of November. Also, Eric has started running more, too. Keep up the good work, Eric! I am also considering running the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati in May (my first marathon!).
Have a great week everyone!
Stacey, Matt, and Thor
