What's Happening?

To the few who read my blog, you have probably given up and do not check very often for new postings since they have been few and far between. I apologize for my lack of updates. However, I had to let something go when I was nannying. There was simply not enough time in the day. My last day of nannying was last Friday, March 16th. As much as I loved the kids and miss them, I feel like my life has more balance again. I also feel like my priorities are back in order: God first, family second, and career third --- Just like Mary Kay taught the very first beauty consultants.

I have spent my first full week retired from nannying with getting organized, clearing out clutter, and cleaning. My major chore was tackling Mount Washmore (the approximately ten loads of laundry that I had been putting off doing). Procrastination is SO NOT a good thing! I am happy to say that using FlyLady's techniques and ideas that my house looks better than it has in months. For more information about FlyLady, visit http://www.flylady.net/.

I must admit that I feel much more peace in my household. Ed even commented to me that it was definitely a lot less stressful for him to come home to a clean home. I am glad that I have been able to help create a peaceful place in our home, so Ed can come home from work and unwind.

This weekend I am attending the 2007 Career Conference for Mary Kay at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Tonight was a lot of recognition of accomplishments. Even with all of the recognition, I took tons of pages of notes. I learned a lot tonight, and I know that I will learn a lot tomorrow in my workshops. I am looking forward to being able to really process the information on Sunday and into the beginning of next week.

Please leave a comment and let us know what is happening in your life. If you have any prayer requests, please either post them or email them to us at gulland@wh-link.net.

Love you all! I must head to bed because the alarm will be going off at 6:00 am tomorrow morning to get ready and head out the door to the final day of Career Conference 2007.

So CUTE!

I got an email from my sister today with a link to Snapfish. She has created albums on there with all kinds of pictures. These pictures are of my nephew, Troy, from February and March of this year. He is getting SO BIG! Unfortunately, I haven't able to meet him in person yet, but I have heard him babble over the phone. Jessica put me on speakerphone the last time we talked so I got to talk to him too. It is definitely FUN being an auntie! I am hoping to take David for a long weekend to visit Uncle Chris, Auntie Jessica, and Cousin Troy some time this spring. I just have to coordinate the date with my sister and get my ticket.
