Field Trip!

It was time to get out of the house and off this damn computer~so Jeremy and I went on a mini field trip to 2 local boutiques in an effort to ask some questions about running and owning a clothing boutique! In the first shop i met Amy and she was thrilled to answer any questions. She gave me her emails and contact info and told me to call anytime with any questions! Her shop was adorable and seemed to be very successful!
At the second shop i met with the shop manager and set up a meet and greet with the owner for next week!
Overall i felt the day was a success. Not only did it get me out of the house, but it also got me off of the computer.
I am beginning to see just how much work this little dream is going to take and its a bit overwhelming. On the bright side I AM UP FOR THE CHALLENGE!

7 Years Ago Today....

i was a crazy 18 year old who had managed to find myself a long way from home...after a 12 hour car ride to Virginia Beach i was getting the "M" word....yes at the time i couldn't even say m...m...m MARRIED. The thought alone had me in tears as Jeremy and I drove to the VA Beach Courthouse. I was eloping and it was by far the craziest thing i had EVER done. Now seven years later we have seen and been through so much. I love him for so many reasons, but the biggest are because he is my best friend, he finds me sexy at 6 am, and because we have learned to respect each other! 7 years ago i did not foresee that i would be a mom of a five year old with another on the way...a college graduate...and a world traveler...all of this has been accomplished with HIM by my side...I love you Jeremy Sebastianelli and i look forward to the year ahead!

Baby steps to my own business....

After a lot of reflecting and conversations with Jeremy i am excited to take baby steps toward opening my own business. The following months will be filled with phone calls, paperwork, and undoubtedly tears, but i know that if i want it bad enough it will become a reality! Opening a Boutique has always been a dream of mine so this is very exciting. More information to come~

Projects

This year i would really like to include some of my small projects for what few readers i have. I always have a list of "want to do" that never seems to come into reality. So with the spirit of the new year i will attempt to keep an updated account of what i am working on!
Currently i am creating a pregnancy album...i made one for Colin years ago and it turned out alright...as i have started this new album though i am seeing just how much i have learned from doing some scrap booking. Maybe i will re-do Colin's as well.

In addition, i have an old mirror that is framed in barn wood and could really use a face lift. So i will attempt to bring it back to life.

As a result of neglect, I have managed to lose a major chunk of my "craftyness"....hopefully i can revamp it!

Jeremy turns 30!

Jeremy turned 30 today and we had so much fun! Colin and i decorated the glass sliding doors with window markers! We bought balloons and a yummy specialty cake for JerBear....a small cookout with a few friends and the night was a BLAST!
