When The Men Are Away, The Women Play

     John went out of town for a couple of days this week and I was left trying to figure out something productive to do with my time, seeing as how I rarely get much done when he is around... :-P. With my new business starting up, I realized the need for more space in the already small and cluttered space that is my bedroom. Still having some tax return money, I bought a small office set to help with the organization of everything pertaining to my Slumber Parties, and set to work cleaning up, getting rid of things, and making space. In the midst of all of this cleaning and organizing, my new toy (i.e my camera) arrived in the mail. SO FREAKING EXCITED I can't even tell you ;-).

     I haven't had a chance to play around with it much, but my mother, as well as Button and Dash had fun posing for me. I can't wait to actually go out and have a little bit of fun with it, though that probably won't happen for another week and a half when we all go down to Zions for a day. Now, THAT will make for some great pictures :-D.

     When all is said and done, however, even though I have kept busy, I do miss my man...luckily for me, I get to see him tomorrow :-D yay!

First Hike of 2013

     Yesterday the temperature got up to about 53 degrees. Not exactly warm, but kinda toasty when compared to below freezing! It was quite nice, and we all decided (a week ago) to get out and go on a hike to celebrate the warmer weather while we could. Seems like everyone else had the same idea because there were tons of people there! I don't mind sharing a trail with others though, sometimes you get the opportunity to meet some pretty cool people!

     John, Meaghan, my mom, our animals (Chango, Dash, and JJ) and I all went up Battlecreek. It was snowy, and kinda tough to walk in, but it was so much fun, and we all got ourselves a bit of exercise! Just what the doctor ordered. I just have to say, I love having these people in my life. I don't know what I'd do without them, especially Meaghan. It's great to have a bestie that'll get out and do stuff like this with me... Ahhh good times :D


   
Seriously love gettin' out and doing stuff like this, and I'm determined to get out as much as humanly possible all year long! Even better than having just a best friend to come with me, is having a boyfriend willing to do the same! :-D The cherry on top...He doesn't mind when I snap photos of him :-P.

     Little man got to have himself a bit of fun as well, and had his first snowy encounter! He had a long day, being drug around, going to the pet store, meeting new people, and finally tunneling through snow! He didn't know what to do with himself when I put him down. Was a lot of fun to watch him try not to freeze his little feet off.

   

Can't wait for more fun this summer when it's finally warm enough to actually get out.

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!

   

Open for Business!

     I finally got my Slumber Parties kit in the mail, inventory is done, and I have officially made my first sale! I'm having to start out pretty small, considering I don't have a whole lot of money to get myself started, but putting all of my sales toward getting more stock will definitely help! I'm so excited to start this new chapter in my life, and to finally be able to feel like I'm doing something worthwhile! Plus, it doesn't hurt to know all of my sales will be going toward more stock and the leftover money is money that is not already allocated to go toward any bills...aka I may actually get to go shopping on occasion!

     Being completely honest, though, it is all a little bit overwhelming. There's so much to learn, and so many things I still need in order to keep my business and myself organized and stress free! One day at a time, Emily, one day at a time!

     Things keep on looking up for me, and I see even better things on the horizon. Here's to a new month, a new career, and new experiences.
