It's Been A While..

Lately updating a blog has been pretty close to the bottom of my to-do list. But, I've managed to scrape up a few minutes tonight and would like to shed light on what's happening in this Delta Residence.

Money is getting tight around here, so I've been working as many extra hours as I can get my hands on. Literally open-close some days. Steven has been applying for jobs like crazy. Anywhere and everywhere. He has an interview on Tuesday so we need prayers that it turns out well!

We have been meeting with the pastor doing our marriage counseling sessions. I was nervous about what he would have to say to us considering what we had been through in the past, but it has been GREAT! He is saying exactly what we believe and the things he is warning us about we are already on top of. It gives me great faith that this marriage is going to last a good 70 years at least ;)

Wedding Plans have been at the top of my list this week. I feel like it has been on a back burner for a while and this week I've been really pushing through. Getting invitations ready to mail has been the focus of my week. It takes so much more work than you would think!

The business is going decent. I sort of mentally took a break from it this week because I feel like I keep hitting the same brick wall when I try to work with it, but I know that June will be a great month full of growth! I'm determined to make it happen!

We are doing a weight loss challenge at work, well the Pre-k room is and I've been surprised with my results. Since starting carb blocker I've lost about 12 pounds. I'm hoping next week is more than my 2.5 pounds I lost this week since I've been doing a lot of swimming and walking this weekend! No matter what I just can't gain weight. We decided that the person who gains weight has to dress like a cow and let people moo at them! AHHH! Now if that isn't enough to keep you working I'm not sure what is!

Steven and I keep watching the oil spill out into the ocean and we keep waving goodbye to our honeymoon! Our boat is supposed to leave from tampa...We want blue water not the muddy maumee!!

Owning a Business...

When Steven and I were first told about the idea of joining this business team I was very skeptical. I knew nothing about it and the junk that I read online scared the crap out of me! We then sat down with an absolutely fabulous couple who were able to explain to us what it is really all about and it was exciting. For me I thought it would be a great way to make a couple hundred bucks a month to help pay bills and to help us save up to buy another car. The more I learned about the business the more I wanted to get started. We've only been doing it for a little over a month now, but it is truly a blessing in disguise. It has given me a sense of purpose and a desire to want more out of life. I have always wanted the teaching job in a school, but I was content in waiting around here for one to pop up. I don't want that anymore. I WANT that teaching job and I'm going to go to where the job is. This business isn't about selling a couple products each month it's about changing people and giving them the lifestyle they have always dreamed of. It is making me want to be a better person, it is making me want to connect with other people, it is making me want to work on my self-image. And without it I would be stuck in the same rut that I was stuck in before it came along. It is hard work and it takes a lot of time but it is completely worth it. It doesn't have to be hard and it doesn't have to take a lot of time, but we want to be successful fast. We don't want to wait around for it to show up. I feel so much more alive with something to look forward to and something to really work for!
