Wow, it's hard to believe that my last post was so long ago. Where has time gone? What has been happening and where have I been? It will probably take several posts to catch up comletely but here is the readers digest condensed version...
April- April is always a fun month. After all TAX DAY is in April ...and TAX DAY just so happens to be my Birthday! This April was an extra fun month.
I went to my parent's house for Easter. Ashleigh met me there and we had a lovely weekend with the family complete with Easter "baskets" from my mom.

I even took and extra day off so I could enjoy a leisurely drive home on Monday and not fight the holiday weekend traffic. Then I went back to work for just two days (who doesn't love two day work weeks) before hopping a plane for a fun weekend in San Antonio with a bunch of girlfriends for Summer and Tony's wedding. My friend Becca wrote about our trip, you can check out her version here, she told it well so I won't bore you with more (except for a certain ice cube story which deserves it's own post). It was a ton of fun and we have decided it should be an annual event (except Summer and Tony may have ruined our plans for New Orleans next year).
Angie, Summer, Me, Becca, Michelle, ElizabethMay brought Ashleigh home from school for the summer.
It also brought on a hard decision for me. For the past two and a half years I have worked part time here.
I love Archivers. I love seeing all of the new stuff, the smell of paper, the rows of sparkly bling, the creative inspiration. I love teaching classes and getting other people hooked. I love showing someone something and watching their eyes sparkle as the creative juices start flowin'. I don't love the aching feet, the 16 hours days, and the lack of weekends.
As most of those reading this will know summer is a crazy time for me. Summer brings Hogwarts (if you dont know watch for a later post). This year I finally decided that I can't do it all. I am getting too old to be
Wonder Woman.
I decided that the second job at Archivers had to go. It was a hard decision. I really miss the people I worked with, the customers and all of the fun stuff, but something had to give.
For those of you that started reading my blog for the creative stuff, I am still creating and will post here from time to time, but just as I am evolving and things are changing so will this blog.

I had to leave Archivers too... it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I loved it there, loved the people so much but after they eliminated my position, I just couldn't stay and work for MUCH less money....I didn't know that you had left as well... they have made a lot of changes there and I can't say that it was such a great thing on their part either. They lost a good one when they lost you my friend!!! Hope all goes according to plan! Luv ya and miss you!
I am so proud of your tough decision. Now get your a** to church. Someone has got to set the example of what normal is. No offense Peoria ward readers. Love Ya Eelan!
