Change is Coming =)

I have the best husband in the world. We are stubborn and have yet to put the A/C in the windows, so when the house felt like a toaster oven last night, Nate suggested we get out for a little bit. We went for a nice drive and like always it was a perfect way just to talk and laugh. Last night we made a major desicion and it means BIG change. I am so ready and it also means a fresh start. I am sorry I have to keep you in the dark about the change for just a little while longer, there are key people in our lives that do not have a clue and we would like it to stay that way for as long as possible. 

With change comes the time to declutter. Thanks Ann for lighting the fire under my bottom to start this process and hopefully I will be having a yard this next weekend. I would really like to get rid of a lot of items I no longer use. I will be letting all my craft friends know if I decide to declutter some of my items as well.

I cannot wait for things to start falling in place. Well I must get back to making orders and getting things cuaght up around here. Have a great Sunday.

Maid of Honor Dress Bought

Today was dress shopping day. I really hate dress shopping, I always feel like a blimp when trying things on, but today we found a few that looked just lovely on me. I love the one we all decided on and the shoes are very pretty. I would post a picture but the groom wants to be completely surprised when it comes to all of the girls dresses.

My brother in laws wedding is going to be lovely. I know that we have a lot left to do, and they are getting so nervous at the fast approaching date.

So yesterday, I was truly doubting if I was going to keep up with daily blogging and here I am today. Let's hope this becomes a daily habit. I would love to look back years down the road and see what I was thinking and doing at the time.

Enjoy this lovely warm and sunny weekend friends. I am will hopefully remember to blog tomorrow.

This coming summer is going to be a summer of new memories. I am looking forward to our upcoming camping trip with Nate's family. It should be fun having all of us together. We are also going back down to Turkey Run with my brother and his family. We had a blast last year and this year Natalie wants to go horseback riding on some of the trails. That should be fun and interesting. I think I might even do the lazy river if the river is high even this year. It was really low last year. I think we will have to have the puppies go to a doggie resort while we are there. I just do not think my shihpoos are camping puppies. If I had an RV it would be totally different.

So much has changed for me since moving home. I am happy that I get to spend time with my mom, dad and baby brother plus Nate's family but it is not what I hoped it would be. I tried taking classes again and realized that my heart was no longer in it. Which in some deep place is sad. I did enjoy archeaology and anthropology but it currently is not for the person I am today. I am proud to say I am a success Etsy Artisan. Since last year my shoppe has sky rocketed. I am currently working on 60 plus orders and more come daily. I am happy and love what I am doing. The best part my job can go with me anywhere.

With that being said, I think a major change might be coming our way, but time will tell on that. So I have decided to focus on all the good in my life right now and let go of the doors that had to be closed. That's life.

Well until next time , let me know what you are up too.

Yuck!!!!

Well today has been just a yucky day. My allergies are in full swing ehich means , uncontrollable sneezing, watery eyes and let's not forget the lovely runny nose. I sure hope tomorrow is better. I have a lots of orders to complete and ship out before Monday.

So what is new, well a lot really. We are in another transition stage in our life. This year I closed some doors on people that only caused drama and one of them was part of the reason we moved back to South Bend. With that being said, we have become a lot closer to Nate's younger brother and his soon to be wife. I love them to pieces. We are going to be standing in their wedding this July. Natalie is now 15 and is such a beautiful and kind young lady.

I also decided school was not in my life plan anymore. I know a few of you will be shocked, but please do not be disappointed, I am truly happy running my own business which has skyrocketed this year so far.  I am doing what makes me happy and that is being crafty.

So what is in our future, well those details will come in time. I will catch up on more soon. I know I left out a good chunk but I have to get back to making orders. Have a great weekend and be sure to tell your mom how much you love her.

WooHoo Notre Dame Beat Navy

Do I went to my second official Notre Dame Football game today. We had the best seats considering we are not ticket holders. I loved the fact that we were located right by the band and we were able to look across the field at the student section and see them in full force. This was a great late afternoon date with my lovely husband. We enjoyed a the ball game and the walk back to the car.

Tomorrow brings lots of work. I took Friday and Saturday day off from making orders to enjoy sometime with my hubby. My etsy business has taken up a lot of my time and we needed just some up time with very few distractions.

As for the Etsy shoppe, I have added a few new items this week and I am going to be adding Grinch cupcake toppers tomorrow.

Well enjoy your Sunday and remember to take time out to create new memories with your family. =)

I really need to stay on top of blogging. I mean how hard is it. You write down a few lines and then your done. Well it's not that simple. Life is a busy game and I am always playing.

I am still busy with my Etsy shoppe and I am so grateful for that. Nate and I both have decided to return to school starting this Spring. I really have to thank some wonderful friends and professors for the light nudges to get my butt back in class.

We have some exciting plans for Spring Break too. We are going to Europe for the first time. Natalie is so excited. We are going to visit London, Paris and maybe somewhere in Ireland or Germany. Still not to sure which one.

Well I will be back as soon as I remember and maybe I will have enough time to write 2 pages in updates.

Holy Banana's it's been awhile.

Wow. It has been awhile since my last update. We are now mostly settled into our new home. I am still working on lots of orders... Yeah Me!!! Nate is back to work and Natalie is loving the fact that we are home.

Baby news. My baby brother welcomed his 6th child into the world yesterday morning at 6:47 am and I was allowed to be there for this joyous occasion. I cannot express in words what that meant to me. Wyatte Bentli Wheatbrook is the newest member to our family. Welcome Wyatte!!!

School:
I thought this door was closed. I had already made the choice to walk away when I lived in Bloomington. IUB really soured me towards college. Since being home, I have been contacted by some friends and professors that I respect dearly and they all want me to finish. I know deep down in my heart that it is something I want to do one day. I am just not sure when that day will be. Will it be the spring semester or next fall. To tell you the truth I just don't know.

More updates to come soon.
