a small bit of an update...

Wow... can it be true that the last time I posted was back in March? I guess the computer doesn't lie in this case.

So just a bit of an update since my last post.

Life's been generally crazy yet again. The summer time is always my busiest season dealing with brides and their events. On top of all the events we've coordinated this summer, we also managed to move from one location to another location. Oh that move! I don't think I'll ever be apart of something that crazy again!

Our new space is wonderful. Tons more room and alot more foot traffic. But it was alot of work on everyone's part. I don't think our hubbies will ever be willing to eagerly lend a hand anymore based on what we put them through during the construction process. Like our previous location, we thought it would be a great idea to save some money and lay down tile ourselves. Never again! Hopefully, we won't be moving into another location anytime soon! Imagine 4 women and their husband laboring away on a hot Southern California afternoon on the Fourth of July. A day where we should be barbequeing and swimming, instead there we are laying tile covered in thin set trying to make sure that all the rows are straight. Packing up the new store and sorting what we would keep and what would be either ebay'd or donated, staining the new cabinets, buying new inventory... the joys of owing a business. Sometime I think I'm crazy but I don't think I'll ever feel this satified doing anything but what I do.

I did take up a new part time job. The company I work for is called The Latino Literacy Family Project. It's a wonderful project working with the school districts in both California and Texas. Just adding more to my plate. It's insane but I'm loving it.

On a more personal note, life has been a comfortable cycle. We're headed to Hawaii to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. I'm ankle deep researching the various activities to cram into 6 days and 5 nights of "relaxation." I know that the boy wants to go on a helicopter ride, attend a luau. Me, I want to drive the road to Hana. Can wait until the middle of October. Hawaii and it's beaches are calling!

Hopefully in my next post I can post the complete set of all my kiddos. All in all, my total is 15. Nieces and Nephews... all of various personalities and temperments.





I leave you with flowers. The boy is glad that he doesn't have to buy me flowers anymore. But when he does, he knows where to get them....
