at the store we are doing very little business and it doesnt help many of the other stores around us closed too. so the solution we came up with along with our landlady is to reduce our rent and try to sublet for the remainder of the lease. with the sales & customers so low im not even remotely enjoying myself. its hard to keep my spirits up everyday. so i think this will be for the best

We are sitting in the Orlando airport waiting to go home. Never have I wanted a vacation to be over more then this one that includes all family visits and tagging along with shawn on his business travel. It just was not what I was expect not what I needed.

shawn's grandmother has been taken in to hospice care this weekend.she has been suffering through alzhiemers for quite some time. She took a turn for teh worse when about two weeks ago she broke her right shoulder in a fall. however, no one knew at the time she also broke her right hip and ankle and she continued to move around for some time.

OMG he work is AMAZING!!!! i totally have to email him!!! :D
