This year has been so unexpected.
Much like this trip to the beach.
Back in January we were discussing the terms of renewing our lease. All in agreement we had every intention of staying where we were for another two years. But from the beginning I knew that wasn’t what I wanted.
By March we started toying with the idea of moving spaces. A bigger space? A smaller space? A dedicated classroom?
We have lived, breathed, ate this business. Pouring what we could into it and using whatever was left over to give to our kids.
By the end of March we had made our decision. But legalities, we had things to work out and it wasn’t until April until we announced our move. However, we had formed a plan. But as a realtors wife I know nothing is set in stone until the ink is dry so we choose not to share all of what we had planned, or what we had hoped for. For the most part we did pretty good at keeping it close to the chest lol. (Except Nick…he’s chatty)
Risky, I know. We love how supportive and kind everyone was. How eagerly people wanted to know what our next steps were. We were excited for those steps as well.
However, every single move we had visualized or step we attempted to take was met with doors closing. Or hard no’s. And..well..our biggest lesson in business has been not forcing ourselves into places God isn’t leading us to be.
So by the time the kids got out of school, we decided to just enjoy that time we hadn’t had with them in the last two years.
We know this isn’t what everyone wanted. And not at all what everyone was expecting. At the beginning of the year this isn’t where we were expecting to be.
But today, loading my family up in the car, listening to church on the way to the beach, laughing and spending time together. I’m so grateful to all who has continued to be so supportive. Every like, comment, follow, order, machine and longarm services. You guys blow my mind and fill my heart with complete gratitude. My babies are heading to back school shortly and I’m so excited for what’s to come.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support so I can have days like these with them, and fun with fabric with you!
