As some of you may know, my work was hit my one of the tornadoes on April 27th. It blew the windows out, took the roof off and soaked the building head to toe. Luckily the main computers were ok (only boss man and manager man's laptops got tossed) so we were able to stay operational. The flower shop next door was nice enough to let us borrow their space until our shop gets fixed. As of right now the shop is probably about 75% done. They got the A/C running yesterday. The walls are up! Just need paint (primer is on), flooring, trim work, ceiling tiles, brick work on the front, furniture, seal the roof on the front and we will be done! :) So excited. The flower shop is a blessing to have so we can all keep our jobs, but it's VERY tiny and slowly closing in on me and my co-worker, Abby. We have nearly pulled all of our hair out. I'm very behind and that drives me bananas.

Home wise, Nate and I are just trying to get life figured out. It's coming close to that 3 year point and we are trying to figure out where we want to go and what we need to do to get there. As always, there is the question of what are we going to do career wise for the rest of our lives...what kind of financial stability do we need to some day have a house of our own and kids. What kind of things needs to be put in place for our more far away future (retirement, tragic events, etc). It's all very complicated as we were both very lucky growing up...everything was pretty much handed to us so we are a bit sheltered. Lets face it, we are still sheltered. But we are very lucky to have such help and support in our lives when we need it. So blessed to have our families.
Well I think that will be all for today. Nate played in a softball tourny today and he is on his way home. Russ (Nate's cousin) and I are going to start preparing for the July 4th festivities....gonna grill so "Skrumps". Yummy :) Have a great and safe Forth of July everyone!!!
