Part of me can't believe it is already the 9th of July and the other part wishes it was the 29th. Oh well. We always want what we can't have. The past few days have been alright. Here is the low down ...
Josh tired to surprise me by getting here one day early but when I wouldn't stop bugging him about stopping and getting a hotel he fessed up. He was really only an hour away instead of a day away like I thought. It was a welcomed surprise but I felt bad that I ruined his plans. He isn't a very good liar so when he kept telling me he had pulled over I didn't believe him. I guess its a good thing that he doesn't lie well. Anyways, we had a nice weekend together. Phil and Mary came over for the 4th. It was nice to see them. Josh and I got to go see 'Get Smart.' Whoo hooo. Our first outing alone since Isabelle. Granted it was 9 pm when we left and she was already in bed but we still got to go out on a date.
Josh had to leave Sunday morning and I was bummed. After he left I was thinking that it was going to be a long sad day. That was not the case. About 20 minutes after he left Dan came down and told me that my directionally challenged husband had made a wrong turn and our BMW had died. I tried finding a rental car but out here in the mid west places aren't open on Sunday and the one place that was ... was out of cars. Flights were nearly $1300 so he ended up taking Dan and Laura's GMC Jimmy down to Georgia. I had the BMW towed to a garage to get fixed. It ended up being a blown water tank. Luckily it happened after he got here and not somewhere in the middle of Nebraska. That would have been bad.
He made it down to Airborne school on time and passed his huge PT test. That was a big deal because if he had failed we would have been sent back to Washington and that is not something we want. He called tonight and told me that he jumped off a 36 foot building 4 times. He isn't fond of the idea of jumping out of planes but its part of the job.
As for me and Isabelle we are hanging in there. Most days are good. I forgot how humid it can get here. You get out of the shower and 10 minutes later you feel like you need to take another. I hate it. I have been trying to keep busy. Laura and I went to the outlet shopping center the other day. That was pretty fun. I was in need of some new clothes. Today I made an apt. for Isabelle to get her pictures taken. I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
The house hunt is still that ... a hunt. I have found a few places but getting ahold of someone isn't as easy as one would think. Its a good thing I am doing this all now and not when I am already there. I seriously don't want to spend a week in a hotel. The cost is one thing but can you imagine living in a space no larger than a bedroom with your 1 year old, a dog and a cat. That is enough to drive me to drink.
Hopefully the next 2 weeks will fly by and my family will be one again. Otherwise I just might need that drink after all. :)

I am glad it is almost over for you. The 29th will be here before you know it! Sounds like you are doing pretty well. Thanks for the update. Take care. Happy Moving!!!!
The 29th is not so far away, less than 20 days. I hope it goes very quickly for you. You already sound so busy. I do understand not wanting to have to spend a week in a hotel...that would even drive me crazy :p
I hope you are able to find a house very soon so it will be one less thing to worry about.
Also, tell your husband congrats for me. I am glad he passed the test and you guys don't have to move back to Washington. I only say this because you hated it so much, but I would love for you to live close again and not so far away.
