Football with my Daddy

It's things like this that I treasure these days.  I'm sitting on my couch watching watching my Dad watching football.  He LOVES sports.  I realize that he's not as young as he used to be lately...and I just appreciate my time with him.  I've had friends who have lost parents lately and I'm so grateful to have mine.  Love him! Even love watching him flip channels.  Funny how things that used to drive you crazy turn into sweet memories as you get older..

Thank goodness for the weekend and grandparents!!

It's Saturday afternoon...a really special one.  Why is it special, you ask? Because "Me-maw and Papa" are here to visit us.  It's amazing to think I really got married 2 months ago, quit my stinky job a month and a half ago, found out about LifeVantage and started working with Michael a month ago, and "sold" my house a week ago.  It's been a whirlwind!!  Whenever my parents come, I feel like I can take an extra breath.  And I love it.  It's easier to breathe knowing that they're here to help and support me and I love getting to visit with them and lately  have found myself watching more closely when they talk and remembering every moment.  I love my parents.  They've really stepped up for me the last 3 years and I have a TON of respect for them and appreciate them more than they could ever know.  Not sure what I'd do without them!!!  I don't want to find out.

One thing for sure..I cannot wait for this economy to pick up.  Michael has such an awesome job, but it's hard with the economy right now,  and I feel so guilty sometimes that I cannot find some way to instantly bring money into our home.  It's hard having Caitlyn and no degree.  A minimum wage job would not do any good...my kids would be stranded all of the time and we'd spend what I made in daycare.  It's exciting to have found LifeVantage though.  I'm excited and hopeful and treating it like a business like it is.  Researching, learning, and learning to just have fun and enjoy it!  I love the product, which helps SO much.  It's changing Michael's life for the better, and mine too...and it's been fun to hear stories after just 2 weeks (not even) of how it's helping others as well.  I'll do what it takes to make sure we're successful.  Being with my kids is my number one goal.  I miss them too much when we're not together and they're growing so fast! 

Speaking of weekends and grandparents...I think it's time for an afternoon coffee break with Mom.  It's the little things in life that makes it worth it...
