Ryan's Home!!!!!!

Well Ryan came home on Monday for the week. He has to go back to his dad's to finish out the month. I can't wait until he comes back. We're pretty much spending the week down by the pool. Jim has been working half days this week and he's off on Thursday and Friday. We're going on a Staycation. Pretty much gas is too expensive to go anywhere so we're staying in Arlington and having fun at home. I don't think our car will really make it too far anyways. We love it though. I can't complain. It has 4 wheels, it gets us from point A to point B. It has a really small gas tank and gets pretty good mileage. When we do get a new car, I still want to keep it. I think I've become attached the the old bucket of nuts. Besides as much as we've had replaced on it recently, it's almost like new again. Sort of........... Well Jim will be home soon. I better get to making lunch for us so that I can get Ryan down to the pool. All morning it's been "Can I eat again?" and "Can we go to the pool now?"

By all,
Kristina

Mary Kay Tour

Friday my adopted unit and I went to the Mary Kay Corporate Headquarters.  We got to go on a tour of the building.  We started in the Museum and ended in Mary Kay's office.  I got to sit at her desk.  Talk about a surreal feeling.  She had the best office I've ever seen.  Even the bathroom was awesome.  Most buildings don't have a 13th floor.  Not only does this building have 13 floors, it also has 13 elevators.  13 is Mary Kay's favorite number.  That is why she bought the building.  What was really cool is that this tour occured on Friday the 13th.  She started her business on Friday September 13, 1963.  The 50th anniversary of Mary Kay, Inc. will be on Friday September 13, 2013.  That's pretty cool if you ask me.  More later.

Exciting Days!!!

I am super excited for a friend of ours!  They are expecting twins and they found out that one was a boy.  They don't know about the other yet.  I check their blog daily for updates on the twins and their little girl.  I'm always looking for new pictures or news.  I'm super excited for them!!!!!

I myself have had some wonderful blessings with my career.  I'm a Mary Kay consultant and my business is booming.  I've made some new friends and new customers.  I can't believe how much God is blessing us with my business.  I can't wait to see what he has in store for us now.  

Unexpected Suprises

I went to Brad's mom's house to practice a skin care class with her.  Well I was pretty surprised when she actually placed an order.  I went there just expecting to run through and have her critique me so that I could learn and refine what I'm doing.  I know God is working through me and my business.  I can't wait to see what blessings He pours out on us as a family and on my business.

Mary Kay

I am sooo excited.  I had my first solo Mary Kay class last night and it was a blast.  I got to meet 2 new people and I had a blast getting to know them.  I just know I'm building new friendships and I'm having fun doing it.  My best friend Janelle wanted to learn more about the business opportunity and has decided to become a Mary Kay consultant as well.  I'm so excited for her.  This has been a good for me because I can work MY business around MY life.  I'm looking forward to teaching more classes.  I'm just so excited because we just had so much fun.  I'm not sure Jim did though.  He went to be the photographer, but at the last minute he became a babysitter.  I didn't get any pictures, but that's ok.  Maybe we'll get pictures at the next class.

Long time, no blog.

It's seriously been a looong time since either Kristina or I put anything up on the blog, so here goes.

I'm on the road at the Omni Hotel in Dallas at a conference, video-chatting over iChat with Kristina who is at home in Arlington.

Here she is.

Macs rock. I did a screen grab of myself screen-grabbing Kristina's picture as I chatted with her about blogging. Heh.

So, I am Ryan's soccer coach now. Not much difference corralling 6 Kindergarteners as opposed to corralling college kids to build stage sets. Frankly, the 6-year-olds are more fun and in some ways better behaved.

It's rewarding to see them improve their game. Some of these little guys could give me a run for my money. The only advantage I have over some of their skills is my size and speed.

Long day today from 4 am to now. Going to go up to my room soon and crash. Got to be up by 6 to get the set-up started for the presenters. Luxury. :D

Hope this post works.

I'll try and keep it up more in the future.

Jim

Weekend

Well the guys are gone and I have the house to myself tonight.  I never thought I wouldn't enjoy some peace and quiet.  I really wish that I had them here.  There's something to be said about a peaceful racket...........It's too quiet tonight.  I may turn in early......
