I can't believe it has been so long.  In fact I am quite sure it hasn't.  I do believe I recently logged and forgot to save it and post it!

Time does have a way with getting away from us.  Life is so busy.   The business and the heat have made me disappear from the earth for awhile.  Thankfully we will be getting down to the 80's next week and it will feel more like Wallowa County. 
The business is going strong.  We have 6 distributors keeping us busy with several more on the line.  Some days I wonder how this ever came about.  I guess I can thank my honey for taking such good care of us.  I just didn't realize how well he would do it!  I forgot how being self employed causes lack of sleep.  How you don't work from 9-5, but instead 24-7.  How having a business in your home takes away the "homeliness".  I long for my own home.  Autumn coming up tends to make me long for many things.  My home, my kids, school buses, pumpkins, apples, crisp mornings and evenings. I hope we can get our own home soon.
Worries in a personal way still abound.  But I know God is with me.
Tonight I had dinner with Justin and Davi and the kids.  I got to hold baby a lot and played with Elijah.  That young man is all snakes and snails and puppy dog tails.  He is so much fun and such a love.    It was nice to spend time with them.
We are trying to find a place to rent in LaGrande. We have a business warehouse rented to manufacture our products. The plumbing and electrical are finished.  Just need a house to live in.  Part of me is so over Wallowa County but there is also a small part of me that will miss it.  Very small.  Just a few friends and the mountains.  But then the other half of me is scared t start fresh somewhere else.  I make no sense.  Oh well.
Ashley has a new boyfriend, Zane.  He is a very nice young man.  Eric is just loving life.  Free and easy going!
It seems like not much has changed, but still so busy.  All in all, life is good.
Yesterday was my birthday.  I am now 44 years old.  We had to do the numbers because like my mom, I never remember how old I am.    I remember many times we would ask mom how old she was and she didn't know, so we had to get her drivers license and figure it out for her. She never seemed too interested.  I was always shocked..how could someone not know how old they are?  Until I got in my 20's and started forgetting my age.
