The Geek Life!: October

Well as the story goes began the month without a refrigerator and an ultimatum to Kelton to find a house and close a deal on said house within 2 weeks so we could manage to close before Thanksgiving. I was very sad that Halloween was not going to be the first holiday celebrated in our new home. So with a disheartened wife and messing me up by changing towns altogether it really did fall squarely on him to find a place. I was really ready to call this year a bust and find a short lease just to move forward but Kel saw houses every chance he got and found one he loved. It was more than we had agreed on and I never thought he'd get it but he must have been praying very hard because EVERYTHING went right and he was able to make a deal. This was truly all his hard work and effort because by this point I was spent and just holding everything else together. The kids and I both caught colds and I was running around to doctors appointments like a crazy person. I believe that in a 4 week time I went to 14 different appointments and still had a few more to go. Rowan's ears filled with fluid when we got sick and we had to see her ENT a few times. The fluid was impairing her hearing so we had to keep her from catching another cold before we got it to drain or she would have to get tubes. If we couldn't get it to drain she would have needed them as well. I was figuring out costumes and dealing with all things kids. Including taking Rowan on her first date, well it was suppose to be her schools Halloween party but she was defiantly on a date. She met up with Dante and they spent the whole evening together dancing and doing crafts, even eating. We actually got separated for a little while and when we meet back up his mom told me that he said "Where's Rowan, we need to find her or I am going to stop breathing." A good time was had by all until Dante and another boy started to fight over who was dancing with Rowan and I decided it was time to leave. Just when things started to go smoothly we got hit with yet another storm. This time it was Alfred that messed up the whole state and left us without power again!! This time we weren't expecting it but it was so bad that even the kids schools were closed. Uncle Joel to the rescue again as he got power back the next day but we went 8 days without. We actually got power back the day of Rowan's birthday. First however Halloween was ruined because the town cancelled trick or treating. With no lights and down wires it was the right call but the kids were disappointed but cute!
