Incoherent Babblings of a Tired Business Woman

I missed celebrating my one year wedding anniversary and wasn't upset about it. We were busy working in ministry, and so we resolved to do exactly what we did one year ago 9/13 on our wedding night - sleep! Although technically we were legally married long before our actual wedding (which took place on our 4th year anniversary of dating), but that date remains confidential and only the knowledge of ourselves and the two witnesses present at the civil ceremony. We still acknowledge 9/13 as our anniversary, a year ago in the presence of God and our family in a small traditional Mississippi wedding, we vowed to cherish each other until death do us part. Because we are like minded people, we understand the sometimes necessary sacrifices required to conduct business. We also agree that we need time away together, which in five years of being together is new for us. 

We have not had an opportunity to unpack any boxes after the move because we went directly into working a major weekly event at our church. I have decided to relax this week. I am not working on consulting contracts, nor am I working on Orangeview Family Services Youth Camps. After this week of resting, lounging around the house, and sleeping in as late as possible (I still have to get my six year old to school on time), we will get back to work and focus on what needs to be done to acquire our new permanent home, as well as GROW our businesses. Orangeview has major events on calendar for next year, at it is time to work on solidifying sponsors as well vendors. 

With all the current projects going on in life, I'm certainly thankful for the blessing in disguise. I had to sit out of my MBA program for four months while my BA posted to my transcripts correctly. I was a bit irritated at first, but I am definitely thankful now. The time off has allowed me to focus on moving, finding a home to purchase, as well as develop new business strategies. I recognize the need for assistance in business, so I am planning to meet with some successful individuals that will be helpful in preparing for upcoming events. I am taking on some new business partnerships and co-sponsors to insure the success and proper funding of upcoming events. 

Before I can do anything, I need to find time alone with my husband, and get some rest! Nothing is worth pursuing if it causes you to lose your family and those you love and who love and support you. Perhaps this weekend we will find some time, and a corner to retreat to where we can just rest and hang out with one another.
