It's Been A While

So its been a long time since I have been on my blog.  Its been crazy.  The last update had to be back before I had Alex, our second.  The family picture I had posted was of me pregnant with Alex.  Its been crazy.  Since then I had her and another little girl Jessie.  God has been so good to us.  They are three beautiful little girls and we love them very much.  We are so blessed.  Thankfully we are done having kids though.  Three has been very hard.  Now they are 6 and a half, three and one.  Last year had to be the hardest year of my life.  I have noticed though that as the girls have gotten older it has gotten easier.  Jerry has been working on starting a pool/maintance company and he has been working basically two full time jobs.  So that's also part of what made last year so hard.  He is still really busy with that, but over this past winter its gotten easier.  But we know that as summer comes it will get busy again.  Jerry started his own business called Sandlot Pools.  He has been able to help his dad by providing a job for him and helping his parents move here back to Arizona!!!  We are soooooo thankful to have Jerry's family back here!  He is hoping to continue to grow the business.  An opportunity has presented itself for Jerry to higher a guy from our church to work for him cleaning pools while the guy attends our churches bible institute.  When starting this business we had no idea it could become an amazing opportunity to help men provide for their families and have time to also take classes through the church for the purposes to leadership training.  Kind of like a seminary but without all the official degrees.  With all that said I haven't had a chance to post anything to my blog.  So here I am.  Come March 1st 2015 I am going to become a consultant for Jamberry Nails!!!  I am so excited.  I have decided to wait until then until I get back from an amazing trip with Jerry.  Jerry has been working for Cloud Pool Supply for 10 years! now and for that they are sending us on a trip to Hawaii!  We leave Saturday morning.  We have one full day left until we leave.  I can't believe it.  We are done having kids, so no pregnancies, the baby is over a year and weaned so that means this is almost like a second honeymoon.  Jerry's parents will be watching them at our house while we are gone!  Plus when we get back we will continue our hunt for a new house!  We found one we like but not sure if it will still be on the market when we get back.  If so then we will see if there are any new houses.  From there we will decide if we will make an offer on the one we like or not.  I think that is a basic recap of our lives since the last post.  I do still have my etsy store, but at the moment it is empty.  I haven't sold much on it, oh well.  But I have been organizing boutiques through my church for all us gals who make and sell stuff to sell.  I have been very successful doing those.  I will be using my blog to keep posted my two businesses and Jerry's business as well.
