home for the holidays
Tonight Kris and i have been rushing around the house cleaning things, packing things and “dog-proofing” the office. we’re getting ready to leave nashville for 6 days to spend some time with our family in the great northwest! while we are extremely excited to see everyone, we are sad to go…
This will be the second time we leave our beloved gracie for more than a day and we just can’t imagine our lives without our little poochie running around the house, getting into trouble and bothering us for attention. she’s spent the last 3 days out of her crate while being home alone. we’ve been practicing since she won’t be spending too much time in her crate while we’re away. she will have several visitors come to feed her and walk her throughout the week and we just can’t keep her too contained for so much time. while spilling some ink and art supplies on the floor and chewing some cd’s… she really hasn’t gotten into anything we can’t replace or clean up. she’s such a good little pup and we will miss her very much!
It will be nice to have a break from work, although… this will be the first time i will be away from my store for more than 3 days, and while i’m not the most necessary employee, i can’t help but feel like i am deserting my team in a critical time of need. we have been topping our weekly sales for the year every week and we continue to get more and more busy. it’s hard for me to give up control of my responsibilities and i wish i could be there during those crazy-busy days. oh-well, it will be nice to get back to work after the holidays.
Our plane leaves tomorrow afternoon and we arrive back in tennessee on the 28th. it will be a nice trip out to oregon and i bet it will be cold like winter is supposed to be. … maybe we’ll even see some snow!
I wish everyone happy holidays!
