Happy Dance and Update

So I woke up this morning and after doing my usual check FB and email to help me wake up I did a little happy dance in bed.  Yes Tanner thought I was nuts.  From checking my email I noticed that Level 1 of StartSwell was coming to my doorstep today!  StartSwell is if you earn $600 in personal volume the first 30 days with 31 Gifts you get free products.  I actually had $789 in personal volume my first month.  They give you free products for your business starting off well.  I also have some other free products that are on its way for another incentive they offered that I met.  31 all the time is offering incentives for the opportunity to earn free products (another reason I love this company).

So one of the products I got is the Vary You Backpack purse.  I have wanted this for awhile, which is regularly $65 and I got it for FREE! I have been looking for a purse/bag that can be worn crossbody (this one does and can be worn 4 different ways).  Reason being, Caedmon is heavy and trying to lug him and everything else, tired of the stupid diaper bag falling off my shoulder.  Yes this post is probably a little boring but Heather Hatke wanted a post so here I am trying to think of things to talk about.  :-)  Plus I have been really excited about this 31 opportunity. 

Also after I started this business I realized another reason why doing this is hopefully good for me.  So about a month ago or more I made a realization about myself.  I found myself being slightly depressed and in a funk.  I would get mad at my husband because I would do all these things around the house, make crafts/decorate for the holidays, come up with all these cool things to surprise him with and it seemed like he didn't care or he never did anything in return (of course I understand I have more time to do these things than he does).  But I realized that by not working I am not getting the praise from my boss or co-workers that I am doing a good job.  I think that is what drives me to be a hard worker.  Since I don't have a boss I am putting all that responsibility on my husband to praise me.  And yes of course he should do some things but its not fair to him at the same time to have to have that responsibility.  So maybe earning the incentives and commission will help.

Anyway enough of 31.  This month just has so much to look forward to.  I am also excited to see my friend Becky tomorrow!  They are coming into town so we can hang out and go to dinner for my birthday.  Taylor comes back to the US and both him and Heather are coming home for Christmas.  Cannot wait to see them. 

Heather Hatke, feel free to keep bugging me about updating the blog anytime like you just did.  Ha!  So there is really not much to report honestly.  I do want to finish a post I started regarding a summary of the summer.  And of course Caedmon is walking!  Besides that everything has been about the same.  I need to have Tanner do another one of his random pics posts again. Until next time.....
