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!
