My closet....

Seriously I know MOST all Females think the same thing while browsing the closet trying to find something to wear or more importantly when they are going on a trip... but HOW do I have a walk in closet full of CLOTHES that NONE of them I really want to wear or really even like!
Even more importantly why in the last 5 times that I have "cleaned my closet out" have I not thrown out all the sweaters from like HIGH SCHOOL, the jeans that have frayed bottoms or the MLLIONS of tshirts that I dont ever even get to wear. I am thinking that if I cleaned my closet for real I would be in SHOCK at how much empty space I would have left over rather then attempting to clean it out and saying that I could probably wear this someday! I also have that VERY TOP shelf going around the entire closet and it is PACKED of crap.. let me think of the last time I actually got on my step stool to see what was up there.. hmmmm YEARS?!?!
So my goal.. GUT this closet, seriously give all this nonsense cluttering up my closet/brain and I am guessing if anything comes out of this it will have an easy decission getting dressed... I will prob have like 5 choices!!

The beauty of working with your family.....

The beauty of this post about the beauty of working with your family is that about 2 HOURS ago I was so overly IRRITATED to be working with my family but the BEAUTY of it is that right now everything is A okay and moved on with. If you work with your family this might make a little more since but seriously on any given moment of any given day working with your family can either be ONE of the BEST things in the world or one of the most emotional moments ever, but the beauty of my family is that no mater how upset or mad we make eachother within a good half an hour we can somehow fix whatever was wrong and manage to finish the day being friends again. I think is primarily has so much to do with the fact that unlike a normal J-O-B this is our life, we eat, breathe, think and live this place and everyone is whole heartly invested in bring the best we can to make it all work it is hard not to have minor or major breakdowns (esp from this girl). There is no Sticking it to the man , calling in sick when you aren't really sick, or just getting by because everyday I feel as if I want to Do the BEST I can for not the business but my family. I know it goes the same for all of most of the people that work in small businesses or family businesses but I guess what I am getting at is that I feel LUCKY today to be able to work shoulder to shoulder with the people that I care more about then anyone in the world.
Family is what this life is all about and tohave the opportunity to be together no matter how mad we get or sick of "shop talk" we are I am thankful that my life took the turn to be doing this with them. I love that I am able to bring my two little "trailer trash" in the making babies here to spice up the days and tests the ropes like I did growing up but really happy that they will get the knowledge and experience of work at a young age and get to experience the behind the scenes details and energy invensted in a business. I know it brought a light to my eyes as I got older and I hope the my kids can have the same experiences.

So the moral of this little story is .... 1. Trevor I am not mad at you for making me cry today... ahaha... 2. So grateful for my parents who have taught me so many things but more inportantly for having the patience to teach me everyday and be patient enough to let me grow and better their business 3. Grateful for family lunches packed in moms office 4. Our stupid little fights or DEFENSE modes just because we hate to admit that we could of done something wrong or hurtful to this precious little place we call " the shop" 5. Thankful for the lessons I will continue to learn and the arguements, hugs, tears, sales, praise, and time I have to be here working with my FAMILY!

ohhh January!

Jan-- how did you get here so quickly, because if I remember correctly back in November I had promised myself I would be keeping up on my blog.. and then somehow its JAN and yep no posts! Christmas was great, it was was the first year that Wyatt
actually understand the whole Christmas concept. The spiritual side of baby Jesus birth and the importance of that (well sort of understood), Santa was a concept he finally fully understood but def didnt want anything to do with him when it came to sitting on his lap or taking pictures. He did manage to give him a high five while he told him what he wanted for chirstmas... but most importantly he was ALL ABOUT opening presents and what present was next! It was fun to see him get so excited about it all, making cookies, christmas caroling with Karol, his preschool christmas program, decorating the tree.. the whole sha bang. He was completly spoiled rotten as usual and the majority of it all wasn't even from us! He now keeps asking me when the next time we will be going to sleep and santa will be coming to visit. My wy guy getting so old and knows what seems like EVERYTHING! He is such an intent listener and watches everything that is going on in his surroundings, his attention for detail amazes me, especially my KID , you know me and what a spazz I am! He is such a good big brother always caring for her sister wondering about what she is doing, what she is going to eat for snack, where her babies are... truley her keeper.

Lil miss wild thang Kamrynn Jade! Still Famous for her crazy hair always a hot mess fills her house with her little squels!

This year for christmas she finally got some girl toys! Babies, dress up clothes, crowns, cribs, high chairs, the works! She still loves following Wyatt around the house yelling him and doing everything he does and loves taking showers, organizing her cards and toys adn my baby girls loves to snack! She is already 19 months old and is just becomming a little big girl!

I am excited to see what this year has to offer for our family! We already got the great news that Thiriza is prego and I get to be an auntie ! Wohoo! I am hoping that business stays busy on all levels of my life with Josh, Cal Custom, and with my new rock solid fitness training. I am seriously loving EVERY minute of how it is going , the people I get to work with and see change, and the new things I get to learn as well go along!
Taking a girls weekend trip this weekend to Seattle! I am excited to get away with my friends and have a great time!!!

I will blog more.. I promise! If this is supposed to be my "journal" then I definetly need to be better at it!!!
