So I've completed a couple of jewelry shows with my new business and earned an extra $400.00 this month. Very nice. I also took the girls on a vacation for Spring Break... Lots of fun. We stayed at a resort with a pool and great view of the lake and mountains. We hiked, swam, played at a sandy beach along the lakeshore, built sandcastles, and stayed up late every night! If you ask the girls what their favorite part of the vacation was then they would answer with a resounding, "SWIMMING!" We had a great time. And yes we spent a majority of the time at the pool! I love vacations! Too bad I have to return to work tomorrow... ;-(

It's been a crazy long week for me. Work, kids, laundry, housework... You get the picture. Today was the first monday of the month so I went to my monthly training party for my new jewelry business. I love going to these meetings because it helps me with new ideas for managing my business and I am encouraged by the other jewelers. I am doing my first show this saturday so we'll see how it goes. I'm a little nervous but hope to get off to a good start! The girls are doing great and got to spend the evening with grandma and grandpa while I was at my meeting. grandma and grandpa had family home evening with the kids (short spiritual lesson followed by a yummy treat, in this case root beer floats!). The kids were fast asleep when I got home and looked so adorable curled up in bed! I am looking forward to a great week...
