So, it has been a while! I have truly missed writing but life has been so full that I had to put it on the back burner for a little bit! And although I am more busy than ever, I just feel so excited to share some things, that I couldn’t put it off any longer!
Let me tell you a little bit of what I have been up to! First off, we had our baby! His name is Bearett Mason and he is the best baby. Going from 3 to 4 was by far the easiest transition for me. He took no time at all to fill our hearts and become his siblings favorite thing in the world. We are so very blessed.
On top of adding a new “little” to the bunch, this summer has been filled with so many things: horse camp, gymnastics camp, camping, splash park, hospital visits, new friends and old friends, family, Yellowstone, and so many memories! Oh and since we jumped right into first grade for Gray and kinder for P, we can add school to the list!
On top of all of that my husband and I have decided to…………drum roll please!
Open a general store!!
I could not be more excited. My husband is the most supportive and giving man I have ever met, and while he supports and encourages my dreams, this store is definitely my baby. He, and the rest of the world, may even think I am a little crazy for “taking on another thing.” We found a location, purchased the building, and due to my husband having to travel to work shortly after closing, I have started remodeling. And by remodeling I mean, taking all four of my kids down to a filthy building while I make progress the best way that I can! I can’t wait until he gets home for multiple reasons. I mean come on, it is my husband and I can’t wait to…… well that is besides the point! 😉 But one of the reasons is that it will be so nice to be able to finally make decent progress on the store! I swear he can fix anything and I know he will be able to bring my visions to life! I can’t wait to share all of that with you!
I have always dreamed of being a business owner and have prayed fervently for God to use me in a way that will bring Him glory. Ya’ll I can’t even explain the way that God has showed up. I mean does He ever not show up? He pointed us to a building when we weren’t even sure which direction to take. He removed road blocks, where there should have been road blocks. He has pointed me to countless helping hands and guidance from genuine people. You guys, God is faithful and He is good.
So back to the store, we are hoping to be able to open sooner rather than later, and as I know God has His hand in everything that has unfolded thus far, I excitedly await Him to carry us through!
So please stay tuned for updates on the store and our lives in general! I’d love for you to tag along and give me ideas and be apart of this cool new journey! Thank you for taking the time to read!
