Long time no post for me

Wow, it has been a long time since I made an entry here. What has been happening the last half of 2008. Let's see where to start, we had a very busy summer, it just seemed like it was hard to keep ahead of the game. My real job was very hectic and busy so that was nice and my business was also, so thanks to everyone for being loyal customers. The fall was so very very busy, I decided that we needed to move, kinda sprung it on hubby out of the blue, so we did. Right in the middle of that decision my hubby lost his job so here we are getting ready for my busiest show of the year, we are moving both our home and our business, and DH has to look for a new job. Needless to say it was a very stressful time. During all of this my in-laws always come out to stay a few months to help me with my fall shows. 'Thank God for all their help, without their help I wouldn't have been able to keep up. We so love their visits. We literally got moved and got the house somewhat set up a day or two before they arrived. Fall shows came and went and Thanksgiving came, then I was told my father was very very ill so I had that to deal with over the holiday season. I spent as much time in Michigan with my mother as was humanly possible trying to be some help to her. My mother is an angel of mercy, she took such great care of my father, I am so proud of her. Dad made it past his birthday, and Thanksgiving and Christmas but sadly died New Years Eve. I feel he is in a much better place and feel blessed to have had him for the 5o+ years of m life that I did. My mother did such an exceptional job taking care of him and now I just hope I can help her out during the next few months to help ease her pain. She is doing well and is still living in her home, I hope she will be able to spend more time with us now that she is free to travel. Well now it is slightly into 2009 and I hope this year brings good things, we really need some good times to forget the last half of 2008. My hubby has a new job he absolutely loves so hopefully we can get some bills caught up and he can continue to feel good with his new job. He is a manager at a local steak house called the Polo Club in Indianapolis and he absolutely loves his job. He is a real people person and loves cooking, customer service and people in general. My goal is to sell lots of soap this year and move my business forward. I just brought in a new line of organic soaps that I really love. They are absolutely wonderful and have them added on the website now. I hope to also add some organic spices and other products. Hubby is interested in organic cooking and spices so I figure we can combine both of our joys together and help provide some great quality products. Well, enuf said tonite. Stay tuned for more updates on the home front and business front.
