Let it Go

Last week was all about budgeting.  Obviously there's a lot more to it so we will delve a little deeper at some point.  However I want to share a few things happening in our lives right now.

Emma at 6 months old

First off, Emma turns 6 on Wednesday!  Where did time go?  Seriously, it has flown by.  I am amazed by what a smart and animated little girl she is.  She is very well mannered when we're in public (at home is a completely different story, but we won't go there) and while she is a bit on the dramatic or theatrical side of things temper wise, she is growing up to be a very extraordinary little girl.  She loves to read and write.  She enjoys karate and dance - whenever I tell her she will eventually have to decide what she loves more she tells me she can't.  And I am grateful that she seems to love school and make friends fairly easily.  This did not come easily for me as a kid so I'm glad it seems easy for her.
Secondly, Kyle and I finish refinancing our mortgage this week.  Yay!  It was a pain to get all the paperwork together and to set up dates for appraisals and such but it's done and now all we have to do is sign the paperwork.  We are happy it's just about done.
Thirdly, Kyle and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary this past week and while it was a quiet one for us, we have much to celebrate.  We have 3 beautiful children, a nice home and while not everything in life is ideal, life is good.  We are truly blessed and I'm grateful for the 9 years we've had and look forward to the year ahead.
Lastly, I am closing a chapter in my life that I started 1 year ago.  I am no longer going to be a full time consultant for Jamberry.  Instead I am going to focus my attention 100% to Norwex and this new endeavor and let Jamberry.  It's something I have been thinking about for quite some time, but have yet to pull the plug.  I decided to give it one more month so I could say it had been 1 full year but when it's time to let go of something, you just have to do it.  I am excited to see what the next year holds for me and hope that I continue to grow and learn more about myself through the process.
I hope you all had a blessed weekend.
