Whew! And DONE... What a day and week!

It's been an amazing week and a very nerve wracking day. Woke up this morning to my computer running SUPER SUPER slow and an error message. I have a very wonderful computer repair guy that was super kind to take a look on Saturday. Turns out it seems to have been just a major program glitch that was draining the memory to the point nothing would open. So glad it was an easy fix! As a result my off-site, year-end payroll's are DONE and filed and the off-site books 1099's are DONE and filed! Tis an exciting time! 😊 It's been a hectic and crazy month but it's now super close to being done! Finalize books for 2017 in the next month and I'll be way ahead of where I've ever been!

The exciting part of the week is that Expertise.com emailed me and I made their top 13 bookkeepers  (out of 137 that they vetted) in the Portland area, so I'm featured on their website for the next year- for FREE! That was a beyond amazing email to get!! We've picked up three new payrolls this year so that's a good thing!! Business continues to slowly but surely grow. I'm excited to see where this next year leads!

I'm so, so thankful for everything. My Father has been faithful to me but there are definitely times when I realize that I'm not near as faithful as I should be back! He's pulled and guided me through so much and yet sometimes that ole human nature rears it's head and it can be HARD to fight! It really comes down to how hard do I want to fight? A thought I'm appreciating is to keep my eyes on the goal and not what's going on around me. With everything that's available it's super easy to allow it to take over all the spare time and leave nothing for my Father. It's amazing and scary how quick time can pass without one even realizing it when buried in social media and computers!

Pippy is determined to get some attention! ;)

It's kind of hard to tell but the clouds were super cool to look at. My aunt took the picture for me. :)

A pretty amazing sunrise a couple of weeks ago.

Now this was a super cool sight to see! There's a sun dog on the bottom left side. I only noticed the arc when I was taking a picture of the sun dog. Put the camera up and went Whoa!!!

My Mother-in-law... was so good to see her again. It'd been much too long!!!

Day after Christmas everyone was over!

A nice picture of Christina

The day after Christmas was Gorgeous!!! And icy!

The whole crew minus Aunt Nancy, couldn't get her in the frame! :)

The cats are LOVING the new window sills! (day after x-mas)
