Staying busy

The last week has been crazy!  I'm doing my best to make sure I keep this updated.  Saturday (the 26th) we took Harley to her first private training session - wow, what a difference!  This time it went so smoothly; we were really relieved.  The instructor told us that Harley is really smart and catches on quickly, she just had a major problem with barking in the group setting.  After class we went to dinner at Olive Garden (my fave) with Scott's parents and grandma in Dallas.  We were celebrating Grandma's 91st birthday!  It was so good to see her and spend time with them.

Sunday was so many things - exhausting, exciting, overwhelming, amazing.  We met with our realtor for the first time and began the house-hunting adventure.  We have found 2 houses we like so far and will be looking again in a week.  I still can't believe it's happening!  It's hard enough to believe we've been married over a year and now we're looking for a house!  Of course, now that we've started looking every little thing about apartment life is starting to bug us... we can't wait for Harley to have a yard and to not have people stomping on our ceiling at all hours.

After the greatness that was this past weekend, Monday brought a little stress and chaos at work.  As everyone knows flu season is upon us.  Well, we've had a small flu outbreak at the elementary school where I work, including some H1N1 (aka swine flu).  A tad nerve-wracking for me for 2 reasons: 1- I have 91 kiddos in my program, 2 - I have a practically non-existent immune system.  Thankfully I have not gotten the flu.  Scott and I seem to be getting colds, but we'll take that over the flu!

We are really excited the weekend is almost upon us, grateful to have made it through this week.  Friday night we get to see Scott's college/Corps buddies.  Saturday we are driving to Waco for a Reed family reunion, driving home Saturday evening and watching the Texas A&M game on TV.  Sunday we hope to see some of Scott's family who will be here for the A&M v. Arkansas game at the Cowboys Stadium.  We both took Monday off of work so we can recover.  We have a very blessed life!  Hope everyone has had a great week and enjoys the coming weekend!
