Week one with hubby away is over, we made it, we survived.

I knew we would, but my sanity was a little touch and go there for a couple of days…

This new job, this whole move he had to make to begin the job, just happened so fast and it was so HUGE, that for the very short 10 days from the time he found out he had the job, to the day he left… well I just lived in my lala land of denial and told myself I’d “deal” with it all later.

Well I didn not “deal” with it all that well.

I have however, dealt with it now.

I saw something posted on facebook last week that was so very fitting for me.

So… life is tough, cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

Yep, that was me but not anymore, I’m done crying a river, I’m building my bridge and I’m getting over it.

And how could I not? This job my husband landed is a REALLY great job! He’s done a full week’s shift, and loves it! It’s where he belongs, it’s right.

This future that stands before us, is a really great future!

Sure, maybe that future, and my husband, is 1242 miles away (but who’s counting right?) But at least we have a future to look forward to, right?

When thoughts like, “you’ve been trying to sell this darn property for years now, what makes you think it’ll sell NOW?!” keep popping into my head, I keep shoving them down and carry on with building that darn bridge!

Things fell into place so quickly, and so perfectly, for my husband to land this job, that we MUST believe it’s all meant to be. We DO believe it’s all meant to be.

My prayer these past weeks has been, “I believe, help me with my unbelief!”

And we must continue to trust.

To have Faith.

I think mine has been tested.

I’m real good at helping OTHERS keep faith, stay strong. That’s what often keeps ME going. Helping my chidlren and my husband, keep faith, helps me stay strong.

Yet, here I am now, without my husband and my faith is being tested. BIG TIME.

BUT, I know, that I know, that I know, it’ll all be good…

In the meantime, this blog is about business as well and that’s another thing that’s had me close to the breaking point this week. I have SO much to do to get caught up. WE had so much to do in the ten days before my husband left that I fell behind in business.Well I was still taking care of business, there was taxes to be done, and paper work needing to be taken care of, plus I did keep sewing, and I did keep going, it just wasn’t enough along side everything else! I HATE falling behind in business. I’ve never really fallen behind in business in all these years! This will teach me NEVER to say that again.

I don’t do well with the stress of being behind I’m not accustomed to it. I can usually “make it work!” and “get’er done!”. Pretty much no matter what!

So, I’ve been making lists, checking them off, working through them even when it takes me to wee hours in the morning after taking care of my other daily duties with the homestead & our children.

I NEED to get caught up, and quickly! I won’t be able to shake this ‘stressed out’ feeling until I do.

So, that’s what I’ve been doing this past week, and what I’m continuing to do this weekend. Get caught up!

In the meantime, I thank you all, my customers for standing by our family, for having patience, and for cheering us on. I thank my friends and family for the support you’ve given us all.

I’m forever grateful, especially to those of you who have taken the time to write. I know we’re all busy, life is busy, so it means a lot to me, and to my family, when you go above and beyond and take a moment to let us know you’re thinking of us.
I appreciate it, we appreciate it, greatly!

So, to you all, I say, thank you!
