shocked

Yes, shocked I say! My blog is still here! Are you? Highly doubtful, but that's never stopped me before.

My mom and I actually went to a movie together. We've done this once before. The last time was the Nate Saint movie. Today we went to Fireproof. Michael told us to take a box of kleenexes each, but we forgot. Wow, was he right. Anyway, EVERYONE needs to see this one! Oh, be careful little eyes what you see!

Anyway, a lot has been happening around here. Boxes in, boxes out, every day. We're having a lot of fun, and business seems to be working. We'd like to see it work a little better, but we're quite impressed with it so far! Michael has been enjoying being the main teacher and I pretty much do the shipping and receiving. He'll source and order the products we sell, then I write the ads for them. Then it starts all over! We've finally got some shelves going up. I planned on those a long time ago, but it wasn't to be. We also bought a ton of shelving to store things downstairs. Think I'm getting my "lockers" in the mud room tomorrow. All of our storage totes are in the boys' room right now. That was so we could clear out the basement to put up all the shelves to clear out the living room of all the toys we're selling on ebay. Then tomorrow I'll get the shelves to clear out the totes from the boys' room! I thought they would get more upset about this, but nooooo... they just build forts with them! Actually, it's no harder than usual to get around in there.

We're eagerly anticipating a visit from Nana and Papa next week. This will be the first time they have stayed with us. They usually get a hotel room, but we found out that was just so they didn't have to go outside to smoke... but... (DOUBLE BLESSING AHEAD>>>) THEY QUIT SMOKING!!! Yayy Nana and Papa!!! No easy thing, let me tell you... and I didn't smoke that long. We are so proud of them. The kids have prayed for them so much over this! It's so nice to see their prayers answered. But anyway, we haven't seen them for more than a year, so we are really anxious for them to get here. This will be their first time to see our new house. We're really excited about that, too.

Ok, Morgan's off my computer so I can print labels for tomorrow's boxes. I'd best get busy. We also pretty much cleared out my cake room for a shipping room. I do more shipping than cakes at the moment, so it's worth it... for now!
