The year comes to a close.
Well 2006 is almost over. Life seems to fly by faster and faster. My oldest son is now taller than me and all 3 of my kids seem so mature(at least most of the time).
I finally got to Vegas this year-what a blast, I would love to go there again. Both of my boys had great football seasons. My oldest started high school. My daughter who loves dancing began Pointe and is very driven to expand her dancing, even though she is only 11 this is the time for her to become serious.
My DH has worked hard over the past year, his job takes alot out of him but he keeps on plugging away.
We have had some changes at the store. The new ladies on staff are great and we are having lots of fun. Our website is growing but still needs tons of work.
And my life took a nose drive on Nov. 29 when mom had a massive stroke. She was so active and full of life and now is stuck in a bed and can only sit in a wheelchair for a short time. It was so unexpected and devastating for all of us. She is a large part of my kid's lives and it has been hard on them. I now feel as if I am her mother as I have to take care of everything for her. We have no idea how much of her abilities she will gain back-it will be a long and slow road is what we have been told. She is completely paralyzed on her left side. I now attempt to find humor in the day to day activities surrounding her illness, such as my youngest driving her wheelchair into the wall on Christmas day. The smells of the hospital are permanently etched in my brain, DH says the same thing. The hospital staff has been wonderful, I have no idea how they do what they do day in and day out. But we deal with life as best as we can.
Due to all of the activities of my life I have neglected some aspects of the store recently. I hope that my loyal customers will bear with me for the next little bit as I try and get back on track. I have plans for new products, new promotions and new events at the store. It just takes time.
I look on 2007 as a year of rebuilding and renewal. Overall 2006 was a good year just some potholes along the way.
It really is hard to come up with any eloquent to say. I wish all of you love, laughter and joy for the new year and the years to come.
Happy New Year
