Isaac and I were in serious need of a date night a couple of weeks ago. Three weeks after "settling" into our new house (if you can really call it that!) Isaac got the call we had been praying for since he joined the firm...
Yes, he got his name on the door and took over an existing office. A
huge blessing and an
enormous amount of work!
We went from decorating our house to decorating the office. Isaac started working 14 hour days and weekends, and I was working my day job and then doing charity work for my hubby at night (not that I minded), and we were just plain worn out.
To add to the recent craziness, our adoption paperwork is all expiring and needs updating. Our date night started with our third adoption medical exams...our PCP said to us, "weren't you all adopting?"...yes, we
still are and we need these exams notarized...
again...
Six vaccines, two PPDs, two UA's, two blood draws, an EKG, two complete physicals, and 2.5 hours later, we were bruised and bandaided up and ready for some fun...
Chef Rene Marquis hosted a Hawaiian Luau demonstration cooking class at the Rolling Pin-my favorite place these days and the perfect blend of entertainment, delicious eats, and quality time spent with my favorite person.

Almost like being in Hawaii...right, honey? Not quite...but as close as we're going to get for a while.
Sign us up for the next Luau! A wonderful way to pass the time while we wait for the "Call."
