So, I really love our new house. Its in a tiny town named Landis. I think the population is only 3,000 which is similar to Hobe Sound, where our house in FL is. Coming from Concord (which was like 60,000 I think), its a big difference but we are just outside of Concord so we're only like 8 miles to the closest Walmart.
Our neighborhood is super quiet. Its a golf course community and only 10 houses are built. After 10 houses, they stopped building due to the economy. Our house is 3 years old so its pretty new. Out of the 10 houses, only 4 seem to be lived in. The other 6 are bank owned. They are 1/2 the price they were 4 years ago. We have one retired couple to our right. No one to the left, back or front. Just trees. We cannot see the golf course just in the far distance. If i look real hard out the front door, I can see golfers golfing most days during the week. Do these young golfers not work? LOL
Now that we are in our new house, I hope we can have some normalcy again. Whatever that may be. Its been a rough couple of years but we will survive. The kids are doing great with the move. Nicholas is a little farther from his girlfriend but not too far :).
I'm still squirting perfume but my hours have dwindled down to next to nothing. I only work 4-5 hrs a WEEK (this week I had 0 sales which is not good!) till Thanksgiving and then it will pick up that week but not again till the week BEFORE Christmas so ... it won't be as crazy as it was last year. I was working for 3 different perfume companies this year and 2 went away from Belks so I am down to 1 company. Oh well. I continue to look for another job but so far, no one wants me :(.
So that's whats going on with us ... sorry I've been away so much. I will try and be on here more :).
