Back in Carolina (NC that is!)

I'm finally back from Greenville, SC. Being away from home for 10 days is WAY too long (especially when I only planned/packed for 5). I ended up driving through some pretty severe weather at the very end. We had about 8 tornadoes touch down around this area. But I'm safe and sound.

I hate to steal Isaac's thunder (never know when he's going to post...) but he took his GMAT today and did very well. YAY Isaac! He worked really hard studying and preparing. When I looked at some of the math questions it took me WAY back... to high school! Goodness. I haven't had to calculate the area of a circle in close to 15 years. So, bravo Isaac. I am really proud of you, and know you are completely relieved to have this behind you.

We're off to France 2 weeks from today. This will be a wonderful respite for us. With the stress of my big project at work, Isaac's GMAT, and Isaac's job situation (trying to find a job since he's completing his leadership development program at Eaton), we need a break! It will be nice to have some time together away from our cell phones, computers, and all those nagging house projects we've been meaning to get started on. I'm still a little nervous that I will have a hard time relaxing on the trip. As most of you know, I'm pretty high strung. And with all that's been going on lately I'm going to have to work extra hard to wind down. (Doesn't that sound funny--working EXTRA hard to WIND down? The story of my life people!) : )

God truly has been gracious and faithful to us. I'm trying to learn every day that HE has our best interests at heart. So we don't have to worry (Matthew 6). What better hands are there to be in besides God's?
