Okay, I will start posting again. It has been very hectic this year. I bought a business on January 1, so I have been completely flooded with trying to live through a tax season, get acquainted with new clients, keep up with administrative work, etc. etc. etc. But all in all it was the best decision I've ever made. I am so much happier than when I worked as a CFO........even though the pressure of running your own business is high, it sure beats where I was. I've gone through so many emotions during the past seven months......rushing through busy season and trying to learn all the clients' business, dealing with employees, former owners, merging three offices into one. And after April 15th it didn't stop......making upgrades to computer systems (buying a server, developing a website, evaluating new tax software, on and on and on. And I've enjoyed nearly every minute of it.


The summer has been good. Business is growing, vacations were good, and now we're ready to get back to normal (if our family can be normal)

Mac and I were talking yesterday about his summer and he said he was way too busy! I have to admit, he had a full schedule:

• one week of church camp
• Annual Leconte hike
• one week of Boy Scout camp
• one week of a Level 1 Boy Scout trip to St. Louis
• one week vacation in Springfield, IL and Wisconsin Dells
• one week at his grandma's in Illinois
• one week of Vacation Bible School

now he is going back to school in a couple weeks. It has flown by.

Next of the agenda is adding another to our family........a dog.

I'll keep you posted on the next post. No promises, but hopefully it won't be sixth months from now.
