Nearly another month.....breathe....I forget to do that sometimes.
Life is good, busy beyond imagination but blessed and good...
The family is great...growing up so quicky that I often wish I could just freeze time to enjoy each moment for just second longer.
My first baby girl is in the midst of her first highschool Homecoming weekend. Where in the hell did that time go. I remember my Freshman homecoming just like it was yesterday. She called me moments ago to tell me that she was ok and having fun. We found a beautiful gown for the dance and have elaborate hair plans for tomorrow afternoon. I'm thinking I am just as excited as she is. LOL I can't wait to see she and Nick all dressed up and ready to go to the big dance. I happened upon pictures of Kurt and I in our Junior year, all dressed up for his Homecoming dance....20 years ago this year. We didn't get to go to mine that year, my Grandpa was injured and died the night of our bonfire. I remember the excitement of cheering at the bonfire, excited and ready for the big game the next day and the dance. Kurt brings me home and Mom runs out of the house, tells Kurt to hold onto me and gives me the news that broke my heart and forever left a void. Kurt didn't let go....he's still holding on and taking care of me.

Fun times!
School is going great for everyone. Lillianne is loving preschool, she is such a little sponge. Evan is thriving in his curriculum and making all A's. God brought the most amazing woman into our lives as his teacher. I sit in awe of the fact that HE always knows what we need even when we have no idea.
Morgan and Layne are both getting all A/A-'s right now and I couldn't be more thrilled. This year has been a transition year for both of them, one into middle school and the other into high school and academics have gotten more challenging for each but they are weathering it well!
The store is still exceeding my expectations for the first year. I'm having fun and enjoying everyday. I had to just stop and smile this morning when I had 6 different shoppers in my little store at the same time, a couple of them sharing conversation with one another and several of them were repeat customers and I was able to ask them about their kids, their jobs, etc. I have one lady that comes down from Ste Gen every couple of weeks to check to see what I have new. She asked me today how things were going and if I was planning on staying. I answered her that I was absolutely staying and she thanked me. It is those moments that make all of the work, the late nights and the stress worth it. I love knowing that this is what I am supposed to be doing and that I have the complete support of my family. No amount of money could equal those random moments that Kurt will just blurt out how proud of me he is. I know that this was a big leap of faith for him, for both of us really but even more so for him b/c he couldn't neccessarily "see" my vision. He never reads this but in any case, THANK YOU for believing in me sweetie.
I'm going to bed....sleep..ahhhh
