Updates

Gonna do this in bullet form!
  • Isaac's averaging 11 hour days, 6 days a week so far. (And he went in at 5:00 am today!) Good news is that he gets to work with an old boss and coworkers fairly regularly--and he's been encouraged by that.
  • We're heading to TN this weekend to visit Isaac's family. His brother, SIL, and nephew will be there. This is our first extended visit together ever. Excited about seeing everyone.
  • My 10 year old niece Haley is coming the last week in July to spend a week with us. I am so excited. She is going to Eco-Explorer's camp at Umstead Park during the day, and gets to camp overnight on the last day. (I want to go camp with her!)
  • I ran 10 miles with the Galloway group on Saturday. It felt really good actually and that's the first time I've been able to run that far in over a year. 5 miles yesterday in our beautiful 78 degree weather. Taking the day off to go to spin class tonight.
  • Isaac's company is hosting an engineer from England--and we are going to take him to dinner next week since he can't drive in the US. We're looking forward to that.
  • The Harry Potter movie is coming out tomorrow. Isaac is SO excited. I think he'd go to the midnight showing tonight if he weren't up at 4 am this morning.
  • I'm thinking about studying for the PMP (Project Management Professional) exam. Not sure if I'm even eligible. I have to fill out a HUGE application first to see. Wish me luck. 70% of candidates pass the first time. I'll be self-studying since BB&T has no training $'s in the budget.
  • We are thinking about running the Rock 'N Roll 1/2 marathon on Labor Day weekend in Va. Beach. Just trying to figure out if Isaac will have enough time to train, and if I can stay healthy (i.e. non-injured) till then!
Have a great week. Would love to hear from you all!
