Excitement, praise, thanks and love

As I see the beginning of a new day, I realize the four elements of my life that are most important.

Excitement: Summer, beach and lake days are upon us. The kiddos are almost done with school. And we are ready to have our wonderful dealers move in so we can open! Amazing progress has happened at our little white house in a very short time.

Praise: I praise and thank God every single day for my friends and family. He has his hand on my Mamaw who has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, my husband who has major back issues, and my daughter's grandmother who is having some health issues as well. Please remember them all in your prayers.

Thanks: I do have WONDERFUL friends and family! From my great friend Kelli who is such an inspiration (and wonderful advertiser) to my daughter and parents in law who have worked just as hard as I have to prepare our store for opening. You guys are all awesome!

Love: I love my husband with all my heart! On top of being a perfect gentleman, he is supportive, trusting and helpful. I couldn't ask for anything more. He truly is my life, my heart, and my best friend.

I am off for shopping, painting, sewing and decorating today. May you all have a wonderful Friday!

Productiveness

I find myself being more and more productive everyday. In refurbishing my old house, I have learned I am much more capable than I once thought. Having learned to install laminate flooring, tile floors and play with power tools, I feel I can accomplish anything!

Happy Monday!

What a productive weekend we had! We are getting closer everyday and very excited.

Looking forward to seeing the wonderful items my dealers have found to make our little shop beautiful. Have a couple dealer spaces left. If you or someone you know is interested in joining us, let us know. We would love to have you!

It is going to be a wonderful week! See you soon at Past & Presents :)

One day closer

Yesterday was a very productive day at Past and Presents! Things are coming together nicely. I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU!!! to my parents in law. They have helped so much!!!  And to my good friend Kelli :) she has been a wonderful supporter and advertiser.

This is the house on Tyler Rd where Past and Presents is coming to life. Ordering signs, finishing floors and painting and getting ready to move in!
