*March 1st was my birthday! I love birthday's, as a matter of fact I am quite the little girl when it comes to them! I think that everyone should cherish their special day, why not? After all it is YOURS! I turned 31 this year and yes, I know that I am still very young, however this year felt a little strange. I really liked being 30, it was perect. Young enough to still "feel young", yet old enough to feel a little more respected. The girls made me signs, one attached to the headboard of my bed, another at the bottom of the stairs, the next was attached to the coffee pot ( which of course contained a beautiful pot of freshly brewed coffee) and the last was hanging in the fridge where I had to go to get my cream! :) The last sign contained a beautifully written letter from each of the girls! Of course I cried, I am truly blessed with 2 amazing daughters! Kaedin seranaded me with an outstanding version of "Happy Birf-day" from the top of the stair case, and Carson played it on his recorder for the first time ever.....he did it perfectly the first time I might add! What did I ever do to deserve this? My lovely morning was followed up with my favorite Sunday morning ritual ( that NEVER happens might I add ) Justin and I had a delicious breakfast, just the two of us, at Perkins! DIVINE! My husband, bless his heart is not one to "surprise" me with gifts. He always seems to claim that he has no idea what I want or NEED. I asked for a Dyson vacuum, however he said that would only give me ammunition for future arguments......I guess I would have to agree. Instead, we ventured off to Target, and to my "surprise" we walked out with a new ipod touch! It was a great birthday! Couldn't have asked for better! So far, the 30's are the place to be!
* The next day unfortunatley was not that fantastic! Justin had to have surgery. I won't go into much detail on this one. But I am happy to report, that after 3 full weeks of pain and suffering he is now fully recovered! Poor Love!
*Peityn was in her first middle school play, "Willy Wonka". She had a small role only being in the 6th grade, but every big star has to start somewhere! She was very dedicated to the long hours of rehearsal that were required and truly loved every minute of it! We are so proud of our little "diva". I cannot wait to see her continue with her acting and signing career!
* VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!! The annual Pure Romance convention was held at Casears Palace in Las Vegas this year. I would be lying if I didn't say that this year was some what bitter sweet for me. I felt as though nothing could top last years "festivities". 2008 was a bit of a different year for me business wise. Although my sales and recruiting were not tremendously lower then the year before, they certainly did not match up to what I had accomplished in 2007. We had a lot of life changing experiences in 2008 and of course those things to precedence over working my business 100%. This is just one of the many things that I love about my job, not many have the flexibility to fall back a little bit, yet still be able to maintain a fantastic income to contribute to my family and my "habits". Again, I am so blessed! Although I cannot say that I earned a car this year, I still had an amazing time! I did however receive a beautiful coach purse from my Pure Romance sponsor, a coach ring and a new peice of Tiffany jewlery ( remember those "habits" I spoke of lol!) Oh and did I happen to mention that I won a mere $2,000 on PENNY SLOTS! HA! We had a great time! I love being able to see all of my Pure Romance friends from around the country! Our Welcome reception was themed 80's night and of course our beautiful banquet was no
thing short of an Oscars party! It was a blast!
* This pretty much brings me current! The kiddos are on Spring Break this week and although it is only Monday, things seem to be going smooooth as butta so far! I am sure we will be spending plenty of time at the YMCA to run off all the extra energy we have by the end of the week!
God Bless and Warm Regards,
