A Year of Unforeseeable Events ...: May 2011

I Promised It Would Be Unforeseeable!

WELL...

I moved back to my home(aka, I moved in with my parents..........again.) about a week ago :) Ft. Worth was a wonderful experience but I think God has different plans for me! Plans that I am so excited about. I will hopefully be opening a boutique in a town that is right down the road from my hometown! That was the ultimate goal anyway...I have just been given the opportunity to do it sooner in my life than I planned on! It is a liberating feeling knowing I have the opportunity to go into business for myself, but equally frightening! I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it to be honest!

I mean, the business plan is done, the lines I want to carry are picked out, the logo is designed, and the name has been chosen. Only a few steps left and the doors will open in September (hopefully, but that may be a little ambitious)

I haven't been able to see where life would take me these past few months, and this point in my life is no exception. Guess I'll just have to sit back and ride it out...

When it Rains.....It Pours

You may have once heard the term "The Bottom Fell Out." That is, if you're Southern you've not only heard it, but you realize that if those words are spoken, Armegedon quite possibly is about to take place.
Today was no exception.
At work, it not only literally flooded in Justin, TX, but the bottom fell COMPLETELY OUT. It was my first time to experience my co-workers upset. Granted they had every right to be. However, I learned that there is no crying in baseball(or advertising), and there is NO ROOM for mistakes. Especially not when it involves 2,200 copies of a 54 page book....and a single page was wrong.

There are no words to correctly articulate the magnitude of this situation. There are also not enough words in the english language to convey the happiness I felt that this error was, in no way, my fault.
I just stayed in my office and compiled lists of pictures we needed. Yes, that's right. I hid. I admit it. You would have too.

Basically we all stopped breathing. I'll let you know if anyone was left standing tomorrow...

Restless

Do you ever have those days/months/years (you get my point) that you get restless? Just postively itching for some fort of an adventure. To travel somewhere you've never been. To do something spontaneous. To start a new business venture. You just get this feeling in your soul you can't shake...

This is where I'm at. I'm at the perfect place in my life to do something big. It will either fall apart, or fall together and either way will make me even stronger for it.

I employ you to shake up your life. Do something fun, spontaneous, radicle even! Even if it's something small like actually wearing the ADORABLE Antonio Melani heels you bought for sping, or if it's something *HUGE*, like finally starting your own clothing line you have always dreamed of (wink, wink!).

We Could Run Away: Needtobreathe

Everything stops as we look towards the clock
It feels like we’re moving backwards
It’s easy to find potential in before
But we look the same in the afters

Could we wait long enough to bide my time
Could we stay and say enough to change my mind

We could run away
Maybe we could change
Get back on our feet and then
Maybe make it home again
We could run away
Be on our own again
Maybe in the twilight
We can break out
Buy ourselves a Cadillac
Never turn around
We could run away
Be on our own again

We could stay here where things became unclear
Fighting what’s left of the right way
But everyone hates the chances that we waste
Under the light of the new day

Could we wait long enough to bide my time
Could we stay and say enough to change my mind

We could run away
Maybe we could change
Get back on our feet and then
Maybe make it home again
We could run away
Be on our own again
Maybe in the twilight
We can break out
Buy ourselves a Cadillac
Never turn around
We could run away
Be on our own again

I'm Not Lost I Promise!!!

Life has been a tiny bit hectic! I am so terribly sorry that we haven't spoken in about three weeks!

There have been just a few minor events take place in my life. My sister's wedding, moving to a new city, starting a new job, getting adjusted and settled to said new place and job.

It is such an interesting and exciting time in my life and I am so blessed to have so many precious people to help me navigate. You get just as much out of life as you give in, and I am making it count.

Instead of giving you a wordy description of the past three weeks of my CRAZY life, honestly there is just too much to discuss, and let's me honest; pictures are more fun. SO its Wordless Monday: My New Life Through Pictures!
Ready......go.
