World of Opportunity

It's pretty incredible what all is going on for us right now. The sad side is that the grocery store where I was working in the bakery is closing in a week or two. I really did hope to go back there someday when my family doesn't need me so much. Nothing ever stays the same, I know. It's also possible that I'll get a lot more cakes because of this, but I'm still sad to lose that store.

The other thing going on is a new adventure for us. Michael only has one more day at the Ambassador, and then we're on our own! We'll be selling "stuff" on ebay. We're not limiting ourselves to anything in particular, although I've purchased an awful lot of clothing already!! I've been having a lot of fun writing up commentaries on our "stuff" and watching what happens! We've also been working on a website. That may not be up for a while, but I'll keep you posted when it is! We don't have a lot of our own direction right now because we don't know if what we want to sell is really what will sell, although my fashion degree may finally be paying off. Even the Merchandising they FORCED me to take is turning out to be an advantage!! Anyway, Michael has been researching this for a lot longer than even I realized, and we've been taking it on together for a couple months now. I've mostly been learning to post the ads and figure out the shipping processes, but he's been doing most of the sourcing, researching and studying others' successes and failures. My part is much more fun!!

Anyway, we're really looking forward to Michael being here full time so we can really work this together. The kids are getting excited about what they can do, too. The future looks really bright!!
