I will be better!!!

I am making a deal with myself that I WILL BE BETTER . . . . . a better wife, a better mom, a better friend, a better sister, a better business owner, a better leader, a better blogger, a better person!!! This last year made me realize that I can't be selfish and I need to be a better me!!! I want to be the best I can because that is all that is asked of us!!! I am so blessed to have a happy healthy family, a thriving business and great friends and I don't want to ever forget to show my appreciation for those things! I want to be better and I WILL BE BETTER!!!

Last one in Braces . . .

About a 2 years ago Caden and I planned to have braces together. Unfortunately things didn't quite work out and I have had mine on and off since then, but Caden just got his one!!! After having all of our family in braces, Caden is the last one. So . . . $4,300 later . . . he finally has them on!!! My favorite is that the Dr. Office told him that he can't kiss girls that have braces on or they will possibly get stuck together!!!

January 2012

I always love how January comes around and we get motivated to set new goals and look forward to all the new adventures the year will bring. Our family was looking forward to January for sure!!! Doug and I attend our 4th Scentsy Leadership Retreat to Riviera Maya in Mexico. We had such a great week there. We left January 9th and came home January 15th. We spent time with our Scentsy family, Scentsy Friends, My baby sister Lyndsee and Gabe and learned of some amazing new things that are in place to happen in Scentsy this year.

College . . . .

Well, this month, we took Austin to college. Here is how it went . . . we got back from Mexico and he was packed and ready to go on Monday. It was Martin Luther King Day on Monday and so no one had school. We loaded up the car and headed over to Boise to the University Suites. He was so excited and ready to move out and be on his own. It was quite the adjustment for mom though!!! I cried for at least a week 1/2. I can't be that old right??? I was happy for him but just sad that the time has flown by so fast and that I feels so different at home without him here. I am so proud of Austin and the decisions he has made in his life and am looking forward to watching him grow up. Life changes too quickly and I am realizing how precious life can really be!!!
