Sorry for being MIA, I will be better!

Totally been MIA for a while now.

There has been so much going on in the past few weeks. The hustle of day to day life has kept me extremely busy and occupied I have barely had time to breath.

Jonathan’s business is FINALLY 100% his, which is amazing! Along with getting the business came office work. We had to get our home office together very quickly so I could get trained on how to use Quickbooks and get going on my new job… Office manager! I am still working my fulltime position selling insurance during the day, then in the evenings coming home to work in our home office getting everything done for M&M. Right now it isn’t busy enough for me to get full time hours, which I need a full time pay check for all of my bills. But I/we have a goal that when my boss at my day job retires in 2 more years, that I will hopefully at that time be able to leave the insurance industry to work full time at home for my husband. Talk about all my dreams coming true! Being able to work from home would be such a wonderful opportunity and it seems like that is the path I am heading at this moment. I just need to be patient and hope that business continues to grow for Jonathan so that I will be able to do so.

Other than that, free time has been spent with friends, at birthday parties, at the drag strip, on the boat, family reunion, bible study and our most recent adventure was going to our first NFL game! We are both HUGE Dallas Cowboy fans and we were able to go to Fed Ex Field in Landover, MD to watch them win against the Washington Redskins. Woohoo!!

We are living day to day life and trying to keep up with everything. It can be very overwhelming at times. But I am trying really hard to juggle everything and keep my sanity. Jonathan would argue that I lost that a long time ago. Haha!

So now that I have been working 2 jobs for almost 4 weeks now, I finally feel like I’m getting my routine down. I am going to try to start posting regularly again but no promises here. Life is crazy and busy and unpredictable, so we will see how it goes.

Other than that, here is a photo dump from the past few weeks.

September means the start of my pumpkin everything craze!

Our old roommate Jason that we lived with when Jonathan and I first started dating in 2010. He's a HUGE skins fan and is who invited us to come to the game. (Plus a few photobombers behind us lol)

Late posting - Written 8/24

Here’s a photo dump for yah, just some quick updates as life has been fairy hectic.

HOT HOT HEAT!!

 

This book I am reading right now.

 

The sky looking gorgeous one evening, which I tend to always take pictures of the sky. I think its always different and pretty.

 

This adorable notebook I saw at Office Max and HAD to have. Childish maybe, but it was so stinking cute.

 

Oscars vet appointment last Friday went good. He is doing so much better.

 The leaves on the ground in this picture have me dreaming of the Autumn weather that will hopefully be here soon.

And lastly, an update on why life has been so hectic the past few days.

 

My husband started his own business about a year and a half ago with some financial help from a “business partner”. They had a 10 year plan that the “partner” decided that he no longer wants any part of. So now the business is 100% Jonathan’s, with the exception of his friend Dirk who works with him. Anyways Jonathan has to get everything in his name, a CPA, and all the stuff that comes with running your own business. And… he needs a new office manager to handle the paperwork end of everything, aka ME! I am so excited about this next step in our lives. I have always wanted to be a work/stay at home mom, which obviously I am not currently and mom nor am I pregnant… but one day we want to start a family. So this is kind of like the beginning of making that dream a reality. There isn’t enough work now for me to leave my full time position, so for now I will keep my full time day job and handle all of the office work for Jonathan’s company in the evenings. Maybe in a couple years business will have picked up enough to where I am able to work full time at home. Fingers crossed, and thanking God for all of the blessings that we have and continue to receive in our lives.

 

Anyways… here is my new HOME OFFICE!! Including Office side and personal side. Let me put my organization skills to the test and be the best office manager I can be. Right now I am overwhelmed with learning everything. But it is like any new job, it takes time to get comfortable and figure it all out. I’ll get there eventually.

 

But that is all for my Photo Dump update for the hectic past few days we have had.
