We accepted an offer on the house over the weekend. The end result is that (pending financing approval) our house is sold. So that’s a big stress that’s been relieved.

Saturday night was my brother Dave’s stag, we wound up at the casino. I’ve been to three stags in the last two years that wound up at the casino, but this was the first time that we stayed for more than an hour or so. We settled down at a table called “Triple Shot” which is a three part game - War, Blackjack, and Poker. We played it on and off for probably 5 hours or so, we went through 7 or 8 dealers, who mostly had a good time with us. I think I ended the night down $15, and $4 of that was on a single spin of the roulette table. We had some really fun dealers, and some boring dealers. I think that once they realized how we were interacting with them, they took it well, but at first, some of them seemed a little reserved. The last dealer that we had (she cleaned Dave out) wound up laughing so hard that she could barely speak. It was a lot of fun though, so I think the next time I go to the casino, that’s the table I’ll wind up at.

Plus, it was the only table in the casino with blue felt :)

So, that was Saturday. Yesterday, I didn’t do much of anything. Erin went to “Katriona’s Shower Part Deux” and William and I stayed home and played/watched Caillou.

Erin’s uncles came to visit on Saturday, but I didn’t see much of them, and they were gone by the time we got up on Sunday. They left a bunch of stuff behind, including some medication, so hopefully it wasn’t anything too important, or they could get a prescription filled quickly or whatever. Her grandparents are coming into town this weekend for Jess and Ryan’s wedding, so we can send the stuff back to Edmonton with them (if we remember to.)

So, yeah, we’re into wedding time now, a family wedding on each of the next two weekends. This weekend is Jess (Erin’s cousin) and Ryan, then next weekend is Dave and Katriona. I’m looking forward to them, they should both be a lot of fun. I’m actually taking the next two weeks off, so posting will be sporadic at best (between August 23rd and September 7th) during that time.
