I would post pictures of our time at the sand dunes over New Years, but I don't have them anymore. I went to Notations this morning and came out to find my driver's door window bashed in and my camera gone. What a pain. The theif caused me several hours of trouble including working with the police, the insurance and the glass company and lots and lots of vacuuming to get all of the pieces out. They might be able to pawn in for $30 or $40. Maybe next time they'll let me know they're going to rob me and break a window - I'll offer them $50 just to save myself the trouble - we'll both come out ahead!
I had a cooolllllddd and windy drive afterward to Scottsdale to our Vital Solutions office. Things are up and running. We've signed up 3 clients in our first 2 days. I'm really excited about seeing them progress. We need to get our marketing going to bring us more clients, but it's nice to be able to get the flow of the office down right now.
I must say - I don't think I'm cut out for the working mother bit. I'm exhausted when I come home. Thankfully today my kids helped out with some chores so my house doesn't go completely dirty. We do still have our Christmas tree up. All of the decorations are off of it and down from the house and put away, but the tree is still up and the lights are still up on the house. Jeff and I have hardly had a chance to breath. (Don't mind the 3 posts today - I'm sitting down for awhile). Anyway as soon as we get enough clients to warrant it - I'm staying home way more often and we'll hire someone to answer phones and run the front desk. It's fun and challenging, but I've got so much going with Young Women's and my kids that I don't want to fall by the wayside. It will be really nice when I can go to the office only when I want to.
I'm so grateful that we've been able to put this together though. We've been very blessed and are lucky to have good partners in the business.

Hi Celeste! I finally got around to checking out your blog (after getting your Christmas card). Sorry about the stolen camera--what a drag! Your new business sounds great (and I thought you were all looking slimmer in your pictures!) I will link you on my blog, after Frank shows me how to do it! I can't believe you have a 15 year old, either! I remember when she was born!

Are you joking!? What a BIG pain! Will your insurance replace your camera?
....that's awesome that you already have 3 people signed up!
Sorry about the camera. I am never as upset about the camera as I am about the memory card. Couldn't they just take it out and leave it on the seat? Josh & Dyan's camera was stolen with pics of their honeymoon and some of her mom before she died. I was so angry at whoever stole it. Anyway, looks like you guys had a great Christmas!
By the way... we are GA Junkies too. :-)
