Falling behind...

but I have a good excuse. Well, it's not good...it's lame...I always forget my password to Blogger...:)

I forget where I left off but I'll just back up a week'ish or so.

Amy and Harold have been in Hawaii on a little R&R and my girl Mackenzie had her first dance without Momma to help her get ready so Erin C. and I stepped in and got her all dolled up. We had a blast and she looked beautiful :)




Last Sat at work we had a Sidewalk Sale...the whole Olde Towne/Jackson Street District (not really sure what our official name is) put it on. We had a radio station come out and everything...woohoo, lol. It was actually really fun. We all had tables out in the courtyard with our "sale" items. Since Amy and Harold were in Hawaii until the day before and didn't know anything about it, we had to come up with what we wanted to present, so we got some acrylic cubes and wrote "Happy Valentines Day" in red and pink Lipstick on them and put out a bunch of bath and body sets and some of our half off HOBO Int. Handbags. By the way, if anyone who reads this needs some SUPER cute HOBO clutches, we still have a good stock and they're all half off (which means they're at cost). We also just got our Spring bags in...soooooo stinkin cute!!!) We also have Amy Head Long Sleeved Shirts that just came in the will be for sale soon that are soooo comfy. If youve ever worn "Nation" shirts, they're similar to that feel...like your hubby's shirts from highschool...washed 5,000 times...soooo soft :)

This past Thursday we, (along with everyone else in the group again) teamed up with Libby Story (super cute boutique next to us) to put on a Spring Fashion Show. We did makeup on all the models and they looked A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! The set up was awesome in the store, and Amy encouraged me to do the "speech" about the Studio to give me practice for when I'm in Nashville. It was fun :) The show was great and the clothes were sooo cute. Across the street, is a restaurant, Ely's that held the "afterparty" so we all went over there which was fun to hang out with all of our "neighbors".




Valentines Day was special as usual. We NEVER go out to a fancy dinner to exchange fancy gifts...or would I ever want to. We always stay at home and have a quiet dinner together. This year nothing had been talked about but Jay said he had it under control. I worked all day and he actually came to the Studio to meet with Harold about Nashville so I got to see him a good bit but when I got home that evening I came into this....

He had layed out on the counter little memories and momentos from throughout the years of our relationship. The calendar from our very first year (where HE had kept track privately of our first date, our first kiss, etc), our wedding invitation, letters we had written eachother....He then told me he had a candlelit bubblebath ready for me while he prepared dinner. :)
So I took by bubblebath and put on a nice little black dress I'd been saving! (I always dress up for him on V-Day, even though no one else sees us!
For dinner he made me a spinach salad with walnuts and cranberries :) (I know its not a steak dinner but this is a treat for me!)
and DESSERT was my FAVORITE...."chocolate" soy icecream and strawberries.
Oh, and I got him a few surprises too but I won't be sharing those on here...lol. Oh, except one...I got him the Matthew West CD he's been wanting...haha. I love that boy!!


So I know this post was mostly about work but that's because Jay was out of town all month but HE'S HOME!!!!!!!! And we are leaving Saturday after work to go to Nashville to meet with some people for business :) We are so excited to be moving forward AND to actually be spending time together!!! I'll try to post more this week and keep you up to date.

I'm in a spirit of prayer this week. Tragedy has hit several people in our life so we are counting our blessings and humbled at the same time that life is precious and life is uncertain. I know we hear almost daily of new pregnancies and deliveries as well as losses of babies and loved ones, cancers, sicknesses, diseases. Although these things happen frequently, please don't become desensitized to the people who are going through these things. A precious lifelong friend reminded me of a verse in Romans about persevering through these times and if only the rest of the world could see it through her eyes, we would all learn something so valuable. So if you hear of someone this week who is going through a difficult time, don't dismiss it b/c it is so common, give them the attention they deserve, b/c in their world, it is ALL that matters right now. :(
