One.Week.From.Today...

One week from today.
One.week.from.today...
(well, basically one week from today...I'm writing this on Thursday...so it is one week from today.
But if you're reading this on Friday...then it's one week from yesterday.  Any-whoo....)

One week from today, y'all...
I'll be opening my Etsy shop!!!

I'm SO excited I can hardly stand it.
And nervous.
Really, really nervous.
But mostly, just excited.

I don't know if I'm more excited about opening my store, 
or about being able to use our spare bed again...
(well, not ME use it, of course, but for guests...you know!)

...or having clear kitchen counters again...

...or being able to see my laundry room floor again...

...or being able to use my dining room table again...
to eat at!
(yes, in fact, that is Colton, completely racked out over there...he zonked out reading his Magic Treehouse book☺)

I'll be completely honest with ya, peeps...
I'm overwhelmed.  And stressed out.  And tired.
And probably a bit difficult-to-live-with.  Probably.
I mean, it's doubtful...but maaaaayybe.
And my husband has been such. a. prince.
And my kids are theeee. best!
But still...
they're kids...
you know what I mean?
Most days this blog-and-Etsy-stuff has felt like I'm taking one step forward and ten steps back.

My two major goals for this summer...
my do-or-die goals were
✒to start my blog and...
✒to get my Etsy store up and running.

By the grace of God, the blog has been started...
and you all have already loved on me so much that I can hardly believe it.
And now, now I'm within less than a week of realizing my other major goal.  
This is big time for me, ya'll.  
These have been goals of mine for years.  
Years!

I know...
I know...
I'm sure I probably sound so silly.
It's not like I won a gold medal, or swam the English Channel, or even ran a marathon (although Heaven knows the exercise would do me some good right now!)...
for pity's sake, I started a blog and opened an Etsy store...
big whooop-dee-dee!

But it is a big deal for me.
It really, really is.

And now I feel like I'm blabbering on and on...
and you're probably wondering why...
and I'm probably making no sense...

So, I'll hush now.
But thanks.
Thanks for being here with me right here at the start...
it's kind of like a finish line and a starting line
all in one.

And I'm so excited.

will be open for business
