January's DONE!

Well, all the 1099's are mailed and all the payroll is completed and filed! By Saturday everybody should have their W-2's. There was a last minute change on one so it didn't get to the mail until this afternoon. It sure feels good to have that part done! Next year I'm starting those a lot sooner though! I did end up with 3 new payrolls this last month, so that was pretty awesome! Now to complete year-end for a bunch of people. I took tonight to straighten out everything so I can jump in tomorrow. It's so hard to believe where the business is now compared to a year ago. Love it! Really though I attribute it to my Father. I feel very well cared for!

Christina did awesome on her AP Literature final. Her score of 88 was the second highest in the class. She pulled a 3.6. Very proud of her!

Busy.... Busy....

Lots of work on my desk to do but it's been a while since I blogged so I thought I would take a few minutes. Lots of good connections have been made this year already. We'll see if any of them turn into something but they're exactly the connections I need to make! The awesome news is that my income literally doubled this last year! Hardly seems possible but there you go! The key for me now is getting myself set on a schedule. It's amazing how much time the phone and e-mail can take out of a day! 

I do pretty much credit networking for the growth. Getting out and meeting A LOT of new people. There was probably somewhere between 6 and 10 hours a week doing it. But the REAL credit goes to my Father! I needed to do my part first then the proper connections could be made. They're connections that in some cases make me so thankful for all that I have both naturally and spiritually. Just when you think your life is bad here comes another with an awful awful situation. I, quite honestly, feel pretty sheltered and very well taken care of!

Christina is busy with the end of semester papers but doing pretty good over all. Erika is an awesome mama!

Here's a few pictures of Teagan with Mom and Auntie Nancy and Teagan having LOTS of fun on the fridge!
