Wow... its been a LONG time since I last blogged... a lot has happened since then, the store is "offically" closed. I had the close out sale posted from 18th-25th but it was all gone by Sat. afternoon, its a good feeling but its also sad too... but its a chapter that I need to close and now its time to live life to the fullest with my boys and my husband:) Its been a LONG haul, very stressful and very many bittersweet feelings... I know its a good thing but I also know deeply in my heart I will miss it a lot, and its still hard to let go of something that both Jer and I worked so hard to get and where we got it to today. I look forward to the new store coming but it will be tough walking in there the "first" time after Tammy has it set up... but hey... I will have my deepest and truest friends by my side and that will be all I need.
So this weekend consisted of Friday and Saturday at the shop closing things out and watching things go, spent the day with Abby one last time working together at the store, hard but good time!! I kept my own and didn't cry until later in the evening. Saturday evening we headed into Bear and Kim's wedding reception, it was beautiful and so nice! It was just hard because I had a long day and the relatives had lots of comments and questions about the shop... and I just wanted to "try" to enjoy the joyous event and I couldn't seem to relax... just felt bad, so Kim and Bear I apologize if I was out of the "loop" but we will just have to catch up sometime when things settle on both sides. I will be thinking of you both ALOT this week, keep us posted... Later in the evening Jer "organized" a little get together at Dagwoods for me to "cheer" me up, very thoughtful of him, it was a nice time... but just wasn't all there with them... so I apologize for any distance I had... Hey Carol, dont let your "fur balls" grow... HA HA
Yesterday we did a few delieveries at the shop then we were off to a soccer game, Mitchel's team won:) It so fun to watch!!! I love the sport, and since the game was in Davenport we went down a little earlier and got some lunch and did some shopping, then after the game the boys (Mitch and Issac) went off with Billy frisbee golfing while Jer and I ran out to Home Depot.
Well and for today... WHAT a day!!!!! Nothing I hate worse than people who are "back stabbers" and all they can do is run their mouth!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the post office today and the postmaster informed me of a "rumor" that she heard... WOW!!!! is this all this town can do is TALK?? jeesh! I JUST HATE IT!!!! Anyway for those who are our closest friends and know us well... you will get a kick out of this one...especially Jer's "geek friends" who read this :) ... anyhow I was informed today that Jer sold a program that he wrote to Bill Gates and made a LOAD of $$ off it... WOW where were we when that happened??? Then later today I was also informed that " we were having marriage problems" and a "possible affair was going on" .... GOD, is this all these people do here is TALK????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I can't stand it!!! So for this aspect of business I am so GLAD I am getting out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will live in my own world and enjoy my family and drown it all out as much as I can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as the word "DRAMA" wow ... some people just get tied up in it... and I'm so not going to be a part of it at all!!!! I just want some people to be "straight forward and honest" why can't this happen in this world? Anyhow this is my gripe for the day! " To say one thing and not mean... it hurts those who it is said too..." I can't believe what I saw tonight after being told what was said to me today... hurts... but just goes to show... some can not be trusted, and I am not going to "play" or be a part of the little game that is going on.
Well, I best close for now I need to work on a "thank you" to be published in the pioneer to close out with this community since all they know how to do is "talk" about us, so just going to do a "thank you" and tie ends with those who want to "talk".
Tomorrow may go into Chicago with Jeremie for the day, I am finally getting my laptop... since the computer I am working on is DYING since its a "combo" unit of Jer's. I am looking forward to the day with Jer, I need to get away for awhile.
Jer thought he was going to have to go to CA but found out tonight he is not :) YEAH!!!
I am so looking forward after today just to be with my kids and my husband as much as I can, this is where I need to be!!!
I love them all deeply and if people dont know that then they dont know me at ALL!!!!

So until I blog again~ family and friends are my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
