Cheers to the upcoming New Year!
Sunday.
The last Sunday of the year...The last Sunday of the decade actually. Scary to think about right? I still remember year 2000 like it was yesterday. Everyone flocking into old navy to get their Y2K shirts.. Man where does the time go? I swear every single year time goes by faster & faster.
I feel like my New Years resolution came earlier this year. Or maybe I just had a plan for myself. Because instead of waiting until January 1st I feel like at some point last spring/summer I just set goals for myself & kept It going. Sometimes I feel like I get WAY ahead of myself... Then poor mike is like “Slooowww down Jamie one thing at a time” but I’m totally one of those people who once they get something or an idea in their head they won’t stop until they get it.
I absolutely love to teach myself new things so you already know I have a list of things I want to accomplish in 2020 such as learning the art of beekeeping, Experiencing my first kidding session this spring(hopefully!), expanding my garden, maybe attempting to quit cussing like a trucker before my kid ends up a millionaire from his “swear jar”, spending more time with Brayden now that I’m down to part time at work.... but how about a list of what I’ve accomplished to far this year! Because goals just stay goals until you accomplish them!

from knowing you you only through your warrenville office, i think you are an amazing example of what a person can accomplish with hard work, honesty and tolerance. a sense of humor goes a long way since you have to put up with folks like me…
but, that aside, i really love the lavender mist and saddle burn man-soap.
