Quick update but full of news!
Wow has life changed since I last posted! My business is still up and running but now in Hawaii!
I met an amazing Army man thanks to my mother's insistence that I meet her neighbor. I did the eye-roll "Ok mom, why not" figuring what could it hurt since I wasn't picking any winners. We hit it off and started a 150 mile long distance weekend relationship where we fell in love and decided to get married! Duty called and my man was off to Iraq for almost 10 months. When he got back, we got the news he was being transferred from NY to HI so we moved up the wedding and in 3 weeks we put it all together and had our family come in from all over! Two weeks later all my belongings were boxed up and shipped over to Oahu. While I dealt with some left over stuff in NY, I ran a huge sale that depleted my stock down to a handful of bags. My boxes arrived a week before I came to the island and I've been a mad bag lady ever since trying to create more stock before the Christmas rush! Unfortunately I had to wait for some supplies to arrive before the majority of it could start but I'm listing bags again and that is all that matters!
On a sad note, my fur-kid Sophie passed away from kidney failure at the age of 10 not long after I arrived in Hawaii. Thankfully she was in good company at my mom's house and was buried with our family pets there in NY. I miss her constantly but I know she is in a better place where she's chasing after bugs and laying in the sun.
