Prom Hair

The girls hair from behind. :)

I feel old...

Today I spent several hours helping my neice and her best friend getting ready for prom. Orginally I was coming over to the house to do my neice's hair, however when I arrived I was asked if I could also do her friends hair. Ofcourse I was willing to do her bff's hair because the poor girl was looking right at me. What else could I say? lol After curling Sheliah's hair I was able to help curl Hannah's hair. After 3hrs both girls hair looked beautiful. As I was doing their hair I was listening to both girls talking about school, boys, dances and future plans. I have to say I was feeling a bit old. I remember those days when high school was my life. I was looking forward to the future and couldn't believe that time has passed by so fast. I am now 27yrs old and hopefully planning to have a family soon. How crazy is that? When I was younger I never believed that time flew by so fast. Now looking back I am amazed at how fast time fly's. It was sweet when my neice said Aunt Autumn you are not THAT old. lol Life is a journey that we take before going to heaven. Enjoy every minute of it and try to hold on to every memory.

Starting our Company

This week has been a stressful week with trying to get our company up and running. My husband and I have decided to start our own candle company "Chosen Daze". We will be premiering our candles at the local craft fair mother's day weekend. Although it sounds funny to be doing a craft fair we are hoping to see if the candles will actually sell there. We haven't set ourselfs up with to many hopes for the craftfair. There are just too many factors to take into account. We are beyond excited about the possibilites that it will bring. We are also working on the construction of our website. Dan has done a fabulous job with creating the website while I am taking pictures of all our fabulous products. Wouldn't it be something if this actually takes off? Oh how I would love to be a stay at home mom one of these days and have enough extra income to do so. I will keep everyone posted on our products.

Just another manic Monday....

I was about to type that it was just another average Monday but then I got to thinking. Are any Monday's really all that average? I think most would agree with me that they are not. I guess that is why most of us don't care for Monday's much. I went into work today after having Friday and the weekend off to loads of emails. It seems that I miss 1 day and there are several issues that just happen to gain speed and raise to the surface. Then it is my duty to put out fires as soon as I set foot into the office...Ok I am done complaining about work. I started reading a book on Mother Theresa. She was such a wonderful lady and I wish more people were like her. Could you just imagine how wonderful the world would be with more people like her in it.
In other news...We have started on our website that will be up and running in the next week. I am so excited and optimistic on the sales we will generate with our company. Wouldn't it be something if this thing really took off? Keep your fingers crossed for us. :)
Good night.

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW

After just about a year in our house we were blessed enough to buy new carpet for our house. After going to Lowes, Home Depot, and National Lighting we decided on Carpet One. The sales guy was helpful to explain all of our carpet concerns and questions. We (I) decided on a spice beige color and the best padding for the living and formal dining room. I figured since those are the two most used places in our house that we wouldn't bother with the best carpet in the rooms. Heck I don't even go to the left side of the house but a couple times a week to clean the litter box.

The guys installed the carpet in record time and only took them 5 hrs to do the entire house. At first I was nervous that they wouldn't take their time and do a half-a$$ job but as I was watching them install it they seemed to know what they were doing. It has been two weeks and we are enjoying the new carpet. My feet seem thankful. lol Our cat Cheeto seems to be enjoying his new found cushion as well. I attached pictures, however they don't do the carpet enough credit.
