Sold.

To the highest and lowest and only bidder:

My Jazzercise center.

Feeling relieved and a little bit sad. Not overjoyed quite yet, but I'm sure that will come. Probably about the time a certain sweet baby girl arrives.

It's been a good and often challenging 3 and a half years. I've learned a lot about myself and a lot about managing other people. Like... it's hard. Really hard. I think I prefer managing toddlers, to be quite honest. I didn't think all of Justin and my hard work would come to a close quite this soon but I know it's the best thing. As with all things, we trust where the Lord is leading us and will be overjoyed if that path includes a houseful of children to care for. We certainly will not have time to run a Jazzercise business.

I know I am not the first to quote this verse, nor will I be the last. But I am encouraged every time I read it. I believe it.

Psalm 127:3

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

I can not believe it was only 3 and 1/2 years! Crazy.

Love your perspective of it all and I am excited with you for the next chapter of your life that the Lord has already written.

Cool. :)

I've been praying for you a lot lately regarding this. Specifically the last three weeks. Bittersweet, I'm sure.

It's not easy to close a chapter, is it? Even when we want it to close, there's still a bittersweet poignancy to moving on. But you know I think letting go of this was the right thing to do. So three cheers for chapter endings ~ and beginnings!

Well done. I have begun to learn that God works backwards in hindsight as well. With more space between me and my trials the lessons become more clear. Great job on the business. You always handled me so sweetly when I worked for you.
Now onto the next adventure.
I'm with Justin, I like Soshee too.
