so busy

I know that I am not consistent in writing, but this time I have a good reason. The instructor who said she had gotten on full time with the City in March, quit a week later. John and I have been putting out fires, and trying to keep his appointments straight just to catch up the 32 kids who sat in the March course. That is not including the April and May courses that were both already partially booked at the time. We are finally starting to feel like we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We have taken some time off to do a couple of reenactments, because that is the only way we get to see John. If I don't get him completely away from the house, He is being pulled in all directions. The Summer will be busy, but I think that things will finally settle down in September.

On another note, we have been contemplating what has been going on with the business and what it means for us. As some of you know, we have contemplated selling the business and the house and moving. The things that hold us back are:
1. what do we do for work if not this?
2.Are we being ungrateful for the blessings the Lord has given us?
John and I were discussing it this weekend, as we have been having trouble finding help. When we do find it, they back out at the last minute and leave us floundering. The conclusion that we have come to, is that this has one of two meanings. The first is that we are to keep our classes small enough that John can handle all of the in class and in car lessons on his own, or the Lord is telling us it is time to move on (by keeping us uncomfortably busy). I personally am leaning toward the latter, as we are having trouble limiting class size. This may be the perfect time to sell, but again the question is what do we do if not this? Please keep us in your thoughts as we ponder this and try to do as the Lord wants.

Zac Update

Hey, I know it has been awhile. So, Zac has is definitely going into the military (if he doesn't mess things up). He has submitted his papers, and referrals (who have been called). He was supposed to have an interview last Monday, but missed it. I won't go into why, but we were unimpressed. They called to rebook, and he will not miss the next one. He is going through an interesting/infuriating phase right now, and both his mother and I feel September cannot come soon enough. That being said he signed on with the air force, and his preferences are MP, Search and Rescue or Airplane Mechanic. I am not sure how, but I have become his enemy again. This being said, we are just waiting for September, when we know someone else is helping to mould him into a man.
