The Change Of Things

 

I never would have thought a year ago that my life would be as it is today.  Ive had some reminders of Providence come hinder the changes that have happened to my life since I moved here to St Louis.  I am glad to know where I am and where I want to be and this is it.

The year has been great so far. I am branching out with some new niches for my business in online marketing.  In 2 weeks I am going again to San Fransisco for the Adtech convention.  I am really excited.  I am staying for a week while Jon visits with his family in Florida.  Justin is coming also and we are both hoping to talk some business and make some new connections as well as meet some of my new affiliate managers that I have been working with since the start of the year. 

I know that I have posted some photos of the kittens we adopted in the past but sadly, we lost one of them.  The boy, his name was FiddleStix.  He was a great cat and we spoiled the hell out of him for the 6 few months we had him.  I noticed that he had been acting depressed for a few months so we took him in for some blood work and they found a fatal incurable disease called FIP.  It is rare and only happens to every 1 in 5000 cats and he was so young that it compromised his immune system too fast. We were going to just let it ride out and eventually he would die from it but he started to get unbalanced and couldnt stand up so I had to put him to sleep.  It was really hard watching him take his last breath but he knew he was loved and we will miss him.

Many people are not sympathetic to animals and dont see the seriousity in having a pet that you love die.. but those little pets are like family and it just sucks to see an innocent living creature suffer. 

SO.. here is one of the last photos taken of FiddleStix.  He is the one on the far right. to the left is Legend and Fuzzball.. his sister (who did not get the disease). 

 

 

 

We finished remodeling the guest bathroom in our house and next will be the kitchen but we are probably going to hold off for a few months.  There is too much going on right now.  BUT I am really excited this time because I took before ans after photos. The bathroom had a nasty bathtub that didnt drain right and was off color. The vanity and toilet were so gross so i tore out everything, knocked down a wall and redid some electrical work and plumbing.. Who would have thought that I would be able to do that huh!?  haha.   So I am proud to show the photos here:

What a change huh?   Its pretty rewarding to do something and have it turn out nice!

I am going to finish up this post and get some work done outside before it gets dark.  We put in our vegetable garden, it was SO much work with the landscape, tilling and now transplanting all of the veggies and herbs I have been growing, but the work will pay off in the end! Check out the photo

 

I will post again soon when I am in San Fransisco. After that we are going on vaca to Mexico for a week, I CANT WAIT!!!
