I know, I know this is the second post with no pictures but if you knew exactly how my last week and a half was you would understand. I was not going to post but I did make a promise that I would post at least once a week. I will try to sum up my last almost two weeks. Two weeks ago on Thursday we were planning on moving into an apartment (it was ready to move in) on Saturday but with the economy and purse orders being down, as well as the CPSIA law (which is now frozen for review) that put a hold on my clothing line we realized we probably shouldn't get in over our heads with a baby coming. It sounds crazy that an apartment is in over our heads but the economy has effected us too. Grey's parents sat us down and helped us realize we needed to wait a few months until we have the baby and see where we are and if our financial situation is getting any better (as far as my business ventures). They offered for us to move in with them again. We spent a night and prayed about it and gave it some thought. We were heart broken that once again we would not be in our own place but we knew it was our only choice. Sick to the stomach we started the moving process. Grey's grandma moved upstairs (not our decision) and we moved in downstairs in the mother-in-law like area. It has a bedroom bathroom and kitchen as well as a big family room and another room off that. It took a full week to make the move happen and now almost two weeks later we are almost unpacked! I havent found where my camera was packed so that is why I dont have pictures. It has been an exhausting stressful month so far. Now that the CPSIA law has been frozen for review I am going to go back strong with my clothing line and hopefully it will pick up. I am also working hard to get purse parties booked because they are coming out with some cute unique shells and other accessories I am very excited about.
Anyway, We are so blessed we have been able to house sit for the last two years and that we have family that is willing to help us out while Grey goes to school. We are not in bad shape but just taking precaution with another child on the way. Last summer in Florida was the best and worst thing we have ever done. If you know anyone who is planning on doing summer sales (security systems) have them talk to us first. There is one company we would never recommend! And it will take us some time to recover. We are very grateful for the experience and everything we have learned from trials. I count my blessings every day.

I ran across your blog because I've signed up for google alerts on the keywords: "Summer Sales". Anyway, I'm interested in your bad experience with a summer sales company. I'm creating a website where people can rate summer sales companies, and share their positive and negative experiences with them. I want there to be more information from employees, that sheds the true light on these companies, whether that be good or bad. If you could please take a quick survey for me here: https://byu.qualtrics.com/SE?SID=SV_070Qh9ZEngHEHbe&SVID=Prod
Thanks so much!
