I can hardly believe May is winding down. So much has happened.
Adam and Austin were baptised and it was great. We had so many people come and it was awesome. I can remember when they were just tiny and now they are in cub scouts.
Blaine had another b-day.
Blaine and I had our 9th anniversary. It is weird. Sometimes I feel like we have been together forever, and nine years is just not long enough, and at the same time I feel like we are still just starting out together. He really is my best friend, and even though life sometimes is hard there is no one I would rather go through it with.
And finally I am promoting to District Manager this month with Arbonne! I will start Area Manager qualifications in June and should finish it up in July!!! This is going so fast I can hardly believe it!!!
Hope all is well with you out there!

Isn't it Ironic
It seems so many of my posts lately have been about this house we were in the process of getting. And now I am posting about it again, just not in the way I would have liked. We actually knew Monday night, but I have been putting this off all week. I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
We didn't get the house. Our lender wouldn't close the deal. We waited 2 months for a no, pissed off a whole list of people that it took so long, decided our friend really didn't have our best interests at heart, and yelled and cried. It is still depressing as I write this.
I wonder why we can't get a break. Maybe Blaine's mom can't do it all on her own, maybe we can't do it on our own, maybe maybe maybe. I guess we will never really know why until we are on the other side. It just frustrates me and, for a minute or two, resent that my husband is an idealist and not money driven.
Blaine however loves his job, and he found out recently that the school actually turned down certified teachers and hired him, an un degree-ed, no teaching liscense, perpetual college student. It is pretty cool. I guess I will just bide my time until Jan 1 2009 comes, and with it a pay raise.
On the up side, my Arbonne has taken off. It is screaming! I am getting bookings/referals from every guest at every show, and just got two people into the business--and they are the one's who approached me about it!!!! I can't believe it! Referals and recruits were the two things I had the most trouble with, and I have sooooo many I am not sure what to do with them.
Alas, it will all work out the way it is supposed to, and right now I just go with the flow of it all.
