I love my life!

Today was my first official day at my new job! I am the Event-Coordinator for the Scrapper's Boutique. When I began going there to crop and spend time with my friends, I never imagined I would be given this over-the-top oppurtunity! I love this store- it is homey, welcoming and a wonderful place to be. And Cherie is so very sweet. She has gone out of her way so many times for me. I am so very thankful to be a part of her store! I will also be teaching some of my own designs. Little nervous about this part, but excited too. I hope you'll stop in to see what I have planned!
Life is so very good...
and I am so very blessed.

This week has been life changing on the home front as well. My first born, my Anthony, started highschool. I did really good on Monday after dropping him off (still not over the fact that I no longer get to walk them into school and take pics at their desk or with their teacher * insert big pout here*). I really think I was kind of numb. I kinda kept to myself , felt a bit out of sorts and, quite grumpy. Tuesday, I thought would be better, so off to school we went. But, there he went... up the stairs, looking unbelievably grown up. And...
I cried like a big baby. There he went toward his new future. and without me, but this is what its supposed to be, for my creative, dedicated, thoughtful son to be... yep... a teenager! How I love that boy!
Vincent started school last week. A seventh grader. He is so grown up. Usually my happy go-lucky boy, he's a little stressed with all the things he has to remember, loads of homework, and the dreaded uniform. And I'm  quite sure the heat is not helping. This boy is still my sunshine! Hang in there buddy, I'll help you as much as I can, and when I can't... I'll just hug and squeeze you!
