Thanks for your prayers!

First of all, I need to mention that I have the most wonderful husband. He is so loving and supportive and I am so blessed to have him in my life. God is so good to me. :)

Thank you so much for all of your prayers for Walter's job. Walter got a new job and started Thursday of last week! He is working for Bengal Capital in downtown Chicago. It's a growing trading company and Walter is in charge of all their computer and networking stuff. It's great because he in many ways gets to be his own boss. So far he is really enjoying it. He takes the 5:30am train into the city and then comes home no later than the 4:30pm train. He pretty much works when the stock exchange is open. He enjoys working in the city again (about ten years ago he worked in the Sears tower) and the time to "check-out" on the train. Plus, it's so nice to have him on a consistent routine -- now I'm the one who's not around! :)

My jewelry business continues to thrive and grow. Even though the economy is struggling, our company and my business isn't. Our jewelry is so affordable, that people are still willing to spend and we make such good income that people consistently want to get involved. The most amazing thing is that Premier is 100% debt-free! That was a huge priority for the founders when they started the company in 1985. So, in these tough economic times, this company is around to stay! It's wonderful to be working with such an amazing, biblically-based company.

On another note...I'm so sad the Cubs let Kerry Wood go. I understand the reason why, but it's still tough. :( Oh, well. Life will go on.

Ooo...and to peak your interest...in honor of turning 30 in less than a month, I've decided to totally change my hair. Yep, I'm going to chop it! I have NEVER had short hair, so wish me luck. My hair appointment is on Tuesday and I'll be sure to post a photo. :)

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

Honestly...

I've been thinking a lot about honesty lately, specifically in relationships. For the most part, I consider myself an honest person. When I worked in retail, my customers appreciated that I would give them honest feedback and let them know if something worked for them, instead of just trying to make a sale. I joke around that if you give me a just a little alcohol, you will be sure to know my opinions about any and everything. ;) However, when it comes to people who are close to me, I have a harder time being honest. I can be honest when it doesn't matter -- even when it is with people I consider my friends. I think because there isn't as much at stake -- if they judge me, get mad, or walk away, it doesn't really matter. I know that I was honest and I can move on in my life.  However, with those closest to me, I'm careful to keep things close to me and compartmentalize instead to sharing how I honestly feel. There's way more at stake. Yes, I know that the people...

Simple and Sweet

So, Saturday I found and bought my wedding dress (no, I am not posting any pictures). Monday, I found my bridesmaids' dresses. Yea! It's all coming together. I still don't have any pictures to post. I tried to post one, but it didn't work. So, I have to find a different picture. I'll try to do it soon. Sorry!
