Final Farwell

Last Thursday Dad, Davina and Katie picked me up from work for the drive to the airport where we dropped off katie, kicked her to the curb and said good luck in England! ....Well that is not exactly how it went down, but close? Not really. I dared Katie to try to handle all her bags on the walk in to the airport- 2 rolling duffle bags, a back pack and a sholder bag.... let's just say I didn't follow up on that dare, and when she got to the London Airport where she really did have to lugg all her bags she wasn't a happy camper....at least she wasn't thinking about it all the way there! Anyway we a really nice farewell free of tears and full of excitement, at least on my part! I wish I could have traded places with her at that minute and I think she wished the same thing! hahaha! Here as our "photo session" from that last hour together in the states- now she is a regular English girl, flat and all!

Going....Going.... Gone....

Fashion Show

Two days before we said our final goodbyes (check tomorrow for the final goodbye) to Katie, we headed once again back down to The Rellik Tavern for a good ol' fashion show. One of the women's clothing stores in town sponsored the clothing, while Bombshell Hair and Tattoo did the hair and some of the make up. It was a fun little fashion show staring our favorite, Davina! The other girl in the picture is a coworker of Davina's, Courtney, who looked stunning, so I JUST had to take a photo. HOW FUN! Jos and I were even asked if we wanted to walk in it next month, I thought it would be fun, but I think Jos thought otherwise! We will see!

A week goes by so fast....

Some day I will get really good at posting every day! I swear I could generate enough content to keep you entertained each day, it's just finding the time! GRRRR! Time Robbers!

Alrighty- so 4th of July was last week, and this is nothing less than untimely but here are some super sweet pix from our super fun 4th of July party at the Richardson's!

p.s. Justice found a new girlfriend-Davina. And Sean and Kurt are not really that drunk! And Sean doesn't have a black eye, he's just....drunk?! hahaha

Mary Kay and the rest of the happenings...

It's all in the title...Davina and I started our very own Mary Kay business.... Can you hear the extatic sarcasm bleeding from my voice when I say we are SO EXCITED!  I am really not sure where this is going to go, but all we both know is that we need to get our money back...at the very least.  

It has been about three weeks since we have started and though we are frustrated with some aspects of the "business" we are excited about others.  The product is fantastic, if nothing else, I know that!  I started using their face wash and mositurizer and my face has never been softer. 

The best part about all of this, is that I have found a great teammate and it has put us both in the new mindset of starting our own business.  I think it is a ways off, but we are like stellar together.  With Davina's artistry and want for more than just Mary Kay and with my business b/g and want for more than just Mary Kay, we are dreaming up fantastic ideas and great business ideas that extend well beyond MK and into other areas.  Our end goal is to become event coordinators....WOW after 5 years of deciding I DID NOT want to be an event planner, I finally came full circle and am back on the boat, but in a whole different way.

This day in age, I understand more fully why so many people are looking more and more to the Small Business Owner route.  Both Aaron and I are working on our own Small Business Plans (for completely different businesses).  Now the trick will be to see who goes first or if we can accomplish this all at the same time...my guess is that one of us will have to go first.

Until next time (I will try to be better I promise) - Peace Out! haha
