life, etc.....

this is an email i wrote earlier...but pretty much sums everything up

LIFE:
I quit my job with virtuallnk as a graphic designer becasue I was miserable working from home and having NO contact beyond Nat. So I am taking a job with photographer in Peoria. i think it will be awesome because I actually get to work with pictures and albums which i have always wanted to learn to do and also take some pictures. i am not sure the hours or the pay, but at this point I am just overly excited about the oppurtunity to get my foot in the door. Ryan (our friend) also said I am basically hired at Starbucks Pekin...when it finally opens. I think its supposed to open end of September, early October. So there's two jobs in the bag!! YEAH I AM SO EXCITED!!
LOVE:
I love my husband. He may be getting a raise, which is very exciting. We will know in the next couple months. He is so awesome to me that I dont think i ever do enough to make him happy (although he tells me that i am). I am glad he went to church with me on Sunday. It would be nice to get re-aquainted with those people, but I also wonder if he would grow more and be more open to getting involved if it wasnt at Northfield (his home church)...I dunno, we will have to see. I wonder how we get involved with at home bible studies (do they even offer that?)
FAMILY:
Life is good for them. Mom seems to be really happy, though i am sure she has her moments. Cheryl is currently on vacation, she was at moms till wednesday then she is went to North Carolina. Carol may be moving from Cincinnati to Campbellsville, KY. There is a potential opening for a dorm director and a VERY good possibility she can also teach some classes there as well. Its the college she went to for her bachelors and its her dream to teach there, so that is really exciting for her. one problem is that she cant take her dog Judah with her...and Cheryl, me and mom dont really want her either. Its really sad actually, but I am sure we will find her a good home.
BUSINESS:
I started a home-based business with Arbonne. Have you ever heard of it? The products are PHENOMENAL and the compensation and rewards are the best for direct sales businesses. I am hoping to be able to get some networking done in Illinois and expose the Holiday catalog. There are so many good things in there for Christmas gifts. I have some ideas on what I am planning on getting people that I dont know what to get them. I am having some trouble because i dont know anyone here because the entire time I have been here I have been working from home. I had a couple parties in Cincinnati that were awesome last month. I am hoping to make district manager by next month..which means i really need to get my butt in action. It has really forced me to get out and meet new people, which has been really good for me.
You can look online at the holiday stuff. If you need to get anything for cousins, aunts, mothers, mother-in-laws, sisters, sister in laws, friends, guys, co-workers, birthdays, weddings, etc etc...remember when you look at the price online that it is 35% off that price (if you sign up to be a consultant)....so if your christmas budget is around $20-30 per person...these might be some great ideas...trying to make it easy for ya. Better than Bath and Body!!! =) I am going to buy the set of three of the smaller ones and mix and match little baskets...i think that will be clever! I LOVE THE MANDARIN CASHMERE!!!!

Here is a link to look over them....

So that basically sums up my life...little bit of work, little bit of love, family and Arbonne. Overall I am very content with where my life is and where it is going to take me. I have my days though!!!
