Stress...

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days when I was six and my biggest
problem was what kind of dress to put on my Barbie's or whether or not I had
enough Lego's to build a fort.

 Yes, that would be nice... Then I wouldn't be dealing with a million radio reps vying for my business, tons of voice-over auditions and a million things I need to purchase for the new house (underground dog fence your costs are killing me!). I find that it's Friday and I'm stressed to the MAX.


BUT...instead of complaining I should be thankful that: a) I have a job! And one that I love. b) we ARE buying a house and have money to do the things we really need (it's okay if we can't have everything!).


NOTE: Sometimes I do ask myself why we did not buy a brand-spanking-new house in a big ole subdivision like many people we know (I'm envious of their brand new appliances and perfectly clean carpets)... and then I remember all of the reasons we didn't (land, location, house w/ character) and I smile at the projects we have for the years and years to come!

The reason we need the previously mentioned land and invisible fence... Parker & Allie! Pictured here with us when we went Christmas Tree Shopping with my family. I cannot believe this Christmas we will have our own tree!
