First Steps!!!




Isaac took his first steps last night!!! Mike and I were trying to get him to sleep but he insisted on playing, but he was so tired. I was sitting on a chair and he was holding onto the bed and was wanting to get to me so I held out my hands and he reached for them, but I kept them just out of reach...he took a good four or five wobbly steps to get to me. I was so excited and made a huge deal out of it...if you could have seen his face...he was BEAMING! Right after that he crawled in my lap and went to sleep! I'm so proud of him. He'll be 11 months in 2 days so YAY he should be walking by his birthday next month!



On another note, I am starting a business!!! Check out my website and come see me. I should hopefully be getting set up this week. I rented a booth in Benton Bros. Antiques mall in Denham Springs...Mike's mom will also be putting stuff from her store in there. I was so excited yesterday that I drove off and left some things I bought for my booth on the counter. I drove all the way to my mom's house and then realized it! Geesh.

AND EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS!!! Mike had a huge meeting yesterday with upper management with Shaw and they've decided to make him the Planner/Scheduler for a HUGE job. It's some natural gas company that had a whole lot of damage from the hurricane (Ike I think). Mike will be in charge of EIGHT jobsites! The saddest part is, though, that he'll be traveling a lot. We just found out yesterday and he left this morning (hence the reason I'm up writing this at the crack of dawn).

So much has been going on and I haven't been on in forever. We bought a new house, endured Gustav and got a new puppy!!! He's a Beagle, registered, 2 1/2 months old and all ears. They always dunk in the water dish every time he gets a drink...it's the cutest thing ever. Isaac picked him out pretty much. We held the puppy up to him and Isaac kissed him on the nose and the puppy kissed him back. They play togetter really well. His "proper" name is Poindexter, but we call him Dexter or even Dex for short. I'll post pictures when I find the battery charger for my camera.

Take care

Swiss Ball & Church

Today was my 2nd day at the gym. I'm still sore from yesterday. Yesterday was just the assessment! My resting heart rate was around 81 & then they had me do a 3 minute "step" test where you step up & down on one of those step aerbic steps set at its highest (3 or 4 blocks underneath it). After the test my heart rate was around 160!!! I probably shouldn't have drank coffee before I went. Today I went to the Swiss Ball class which is kind of like Pilates in a way. When I was leaving I was talking to this woman in the class. She walked out with me & the nursery grandma (who didn't want to put Isaac down ) & I was telling her how we are new here & just staying for 6 months. We said our goodbyes & as I was putting my seatbelt on I saw her pull around the parking lot & park behind me. She got out & gave me a piece of paper & said she'd like to give me an invitation to come visit her church. She's the pastor's wife. When I looked down & saw which church it was I was surprised because it was the SAME church that the lady who brought me a welcome bag from "Meet Midland" had invited me to. She's in charge of the nursery there. Either it's a small world, small town, coincidence or God telling me to get my booty to that church! I might try to make it this Sunday.
