I hope you are all as amazed and proud of me as I am that I'm actually posting on my blog! :) Haha! I figured it out now...I think!
Anyway, here's a quick update...
We are now in Orem, and have been for 5 months. We love our home and our neighbors...and our ward!!
I am no longer doing real estate, as of right now anyway. Pete and I are focusing on a new business together: Catering!
While Pete does most the work, I am the one who sets everything up, organizes, takes orders, etc. I am the outgoing obnoxious coordinator! :) Pete is the quiet talent behind the awesome food!
We are having a blast!! It's fun for me to be able to work with Pete. Cheesy as it sounds, I love getting to hang out with my best friend and sample the delicious things he makes! He has been soooo loving and supportive to me with my cake decorating....what a guy!
We have actually been catering and doing cakes for a few years. We just didn't charge people for the time (and it takes TIME) and the setting up and taking down...So, we finally decided, we need to make a business out of this.
We are very excited to be doing our first paid job on May 8! Thanks to Katherine, my neice! :) But, we already have people asking about the summer! We're excited!
So...what else?
Oh...we are hoping to get our foster care license by the middle of May! We have been working on getting our license for 8 months now...so we're excited and anxious to actually DO foster care! :)
It wouldn't be truthful to say that we're not aprehensive and a little nervous for what's to come. But, we honestly feel like it's what we can do to help and we are willing to face whatever challenges to do so! I constantly get asked if we're crazy. The answer is most likely...YES, yes we are! :) But if crazy makes happy...I'm there! LOL!

ReplyDeleteI had no idea you were doing ANY of this! See? This is what blogs are for.
I think you are an amazing family and admire you for all you're aspiring to! Love you!
p.s. Now, don't think I'm lame for not updating OUR blog. I can't post anything about the move until after we've figured out an agreement with my ex-husband (his family reads it).
