Fun Stuff

I dont' have any pictures but I still wanted to update the blog in case you think we fell off the planet. We didn't. Anyway, we haven't been too busy (meaning I haven't...Isaac has been very busy!). Isaac has been gone a lot at home shows on the weekends, and this week he ended up going to Raleigh to meet with clients, so he didn't come home during the weeknights much either. It's tough, but he's doing well with business and it's encouraging to see things going great!
Last night he got home at 5:15pm from North Carolina, a babysitter got here at 5:30, and he took me to a surprise night out at a fun little inn downtown for wine tasting and hors de houvers. It was really nice to go out without the munchkin, though I was apprehensive about leaving him with a teenager for the first time. So far we've only left John with close friends who also have kids John's age; never with someone who came to our own house by themselves. Ashlyn did a wonderful job taking care of him and he was in a great mood when we got home, even though he should have been sleeping! As for the night out, I'm ready for another one!! We got there and didn't know anyone, but that was okay. We wandered around the room for a while munching on food and getting different samples of wine (while quickly realizing we were terribly underdressed for the occasion). It was nice to be able to talk to Isaac alone! We also met a fun older couple and stayed to chat for a while, then went home. It was your basic uneventful night out, but SO MUCH FUN! Our anniversary in 10 days so we are counting down to that as well, though I don't think we have any plans. The Mills will probably babysit for a couple hours, and maybe we can go see the Bourne Ultimatum.
As for the house, we are having another open house on Sunday and this time it has a bit more advertising. Hopefully we get an offer and start a contract! We have decided that if the house sells, we will still be moving September 26th-October 1st to Tacoma. If the house doesn't sell before then, John and I will be staying here in Augusta until it does, while Isaac goes on ahead to Tacoma to begin working. He has lots of friends and family there, so we're sure that whatever happens will work out. Please pray for us! We are both very anxious to sell the house and not have to be apart for a while.
I am spending today and tomorrow cleaning up the house really good for the open house, and Isaac is already gone (left this morning) for another weekend away. This time it's a Cutco/Vector conference near Atlanta, but he might win some stuff! He had a really great week of sales and that puts him in the running for some prizes. Isaac could use prayer right now too, he's been working non-stop for several weeks without a day off in sight. It's been rough but he's making it, and needs all the support he can get!
Well I think that's all. John is still working on walking and is becoming quite the energetic little boy. He loves to chase the kitties all over the house, and to climb on and off the ottoman all day. If he's not playing with his toys he's dancing to music or making his own. We love him very much and don't remember life before him!
