Whirlwind!

Yeah, so my headline totally describes my life lately! Let me just say, to summarize, GOD IS AMAZING!!! There is so much going on with us right now. Here is some of it.....

I had my training show last night to kick off my jewelry business and my friends really came through for me! There were 20 people there not including me or my sponsor!!! My house was packed and I enjoyed every bit of it!!! We ate yummy snacks and played in tons of pretty jewelry! I had a great show in terms of sales and I got a lot of free jewelry. I am so thankful to God for the awesome friends in my life. I can't wait to pick out all of my free jewelry! OH...and I got 10 bookings in August!!! I will be a busy lady but I will meet my goal if all of the shows go through!!! I am so excited about this new adventure.

This week is VBS and boy am I ever exhausted! The kiddos are learning the songs and the motions and are doing a great job but I feel like we sing the same song about 15 times a day....wait...WE DO!!!! It is a lot of fun and honestly I am ready for Friday night to be over with. I am in charge of Family Night this year and it is Friday night where all of the kids' parents come to see what they have done this year during VBS. It is a great outreach opportunity.

I am not working at all this week because of VBS and it feels kinda weird after working so much the past several weeks. I am actually enjoying being at home for part of the day.

The next couple of weeks are going to be really busy for us. We have Brice's parents coming this weekend and we are excited about that!!!! Sunday is a baby shower for Erika and Israel who are going to have baby #2 soon, Marco Emanuel. I think she is due August 12th or something like that.....Next week Brice will be in Miami Monday-Thursday. I am so used to him being home that this will be difficult for me. I am working 3 days next week. Hopefully we will get to do some playing with Josiah next week. The first weekend in August Brice and I are celebrating our anniversary. Our 4th wedding anniversary is August 7th and we are celebrating the weekend before because we can't miss Chelsea's birthday party on the 9th!!! We are going to go to a nice hotel for the weekend and Brice is going to get a massage and I am going to get a really cool ice cream pedicure that I am TOTALLY excited about!!! After that, August will be half over!! Seems unreal that we are talking about August! Where did the summer go???!!! Before long, it will be Christmas.....

Ice Cream pedicure????

You'll have to teach me some of the songs & motions that y'all do so I can teach Gage!

Congrats on your party. How much did you sell???? (not $$-wise, I am talking pieces!)

You should have some type of link on your blog to the jewelry and maybe some of your far away friends would make a catalog order with you...

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
