finally... a bit of piece

It's been a hectic few weeks with everything that's been happening in my life. Sometimes it's hard just to slow down and take a breath. Finally, I can do that.

Between the shop and the new purchase of a floral shop before Valentine's day, needless to say that time hasn't been my friend. I shouldn't complain as business has been good in both locations. It's just now finding the new routine and balancing. But I guess that's just life.

I still wonder how I've been so fortunate to be able to call my "hobby" my career. I don't think there are many people out there who can honestly say they enjoy completely what they do for a living, much less look forward to the different challenges that come with owning a business. It's always going to be stressful in one way or another but the rewards that come with knowing that your hard work and the effort that you've been putting in with your team is actually coming together. I guess I there is the light at the end of the tunnel.

As for the situation with my parentals... I haven't heard anything in response from them. I'm not sure what their reaction to my letter was. Hopefully, I'll be hearing something soon, but then again, if I don't, then at least I've made the first step and attempt. It does take two to tango!

Personally, the hubby and I have decided that this would definately be the year to start a family. We're actually looking for a home to buy soon, but still waiting for the market to soften just a bit more. Ideally, we'd love to stay in the same area as it's just convenient to everything for us. His softball, his work, the shops and all our activites together. We'll just have to see what happens as paying rent is becoming overrated. Plus, the dogs need a real yard. I think they've both played escape artist at least once every three months. It's getting hard to find creative ways of keeping them in their kennel.
