Sister Time!

Sandy and I are having a great time. We have been chatting up a storm, watching lots of movies and spending lots of "sister time" together.

My Sister is Coming!

I am so excited! My little sister, Sandy, is going to be here tomorrow! I am home today cleaning my house and getting ready for her visit! We plan to go to the movies, rents tons of movies, take lots of pictures, cook, shop and hang out! I can't wait!!

Things are going great with having only one store. My life is getting back to "normal" what ever that is! And, I am starting to feel less stressed. I am so lucky to have such a great family, they have been amazing with this whole transition. Shawna and I are rockin' it out at the store and make such a great team! I am so blessed to have her!!

Back to School

Ryan started his sophomore year at Moscow High School last week and he LOVES it! So far his favorite things about High School are: open campus, lunch & no homework in math class!

One of my favorite layouts!

Oh what a wonderful weekend I had scrapbooking with 33 creative & amazing ladies at the Palouse Divide Lodge! Donna Jean, my best bud from Nevada, came up for the retreat! So I got to hang out with my two best friends; Shawna and Donna Jean! We got up to the lodge on Thursday night and set up all the tables for the gals coming up on Friday. I managed to get 28 layouts done. It was so much fun. I can't wait to go back!

What will I do with all my time?

Well I have made a big decision that is going to change my life! I have decided to close the Moscow store and expand the Pullman store. It has been a very stressfull month, trying to weigh out my options and make this choice; but I know I have made the right one. I can't wait to get back over in Pullman and renew my friendships with all of our Pullman customers! Shawna and I are so excited to get to work together a few days each week. AND...we will both get a lot more time off! I sure have learned a lot and have made the BEST friends by opening up the Moscow store. I don't regret it.

I am looking forward to spending more time with my family! I want to hang out with my 15 year old, teach him how to drive & help him with his homework. I want to help my 19 year old find his way. I want to renew my friendship and relationship with my amazing husband. I know this sounds "sick" but I am looking forward to cleaning my house, cooking dinners, making menus and being at home! I might even be able to scrapbook and create again. I can't remember the last time I have sat down to scrapbook. My husband is making me my own scrapbook room in our house - we have a really cool room upstairs that is partially finished. So, I can't wait to have my "stuff" back home; where I can work on it whenever I want without feeling guilty - cause I'm at the store.

I am planning a trip to go see my family in Florida. I so enjoyed having my Mom and Dad here and it made me realize how much I have missed them. I have not seen my niece in 4 years. My sister about the same and my brother even longer. Life is too short and family is so important - I am not going to let another year go by without seeing them.

I plan to start going to Yoga again. Eat healthier. Get my hair cut. Loose 50 pounds. Learn how to golf. Practice being present. Meditate. Walk. Live.

So, thanks for everyone's support - this is such a blessing.
