Baby Niana Grace

So, you may have noticed I don't blog very often and I don't have many photos. I FINALLY loaded my photos from our camera to my PC. It only took me...oh, about 8 months. Now I have some photos to post!

This shirt says "Does this diaper make my butt look big?" I think it's great!

My Senssaria Job

I just looked back on some of my other posts and I thought I'd give a little update. Some of you have asked me and I'm sure the rest of you have been wondering and it's been keeping you up at night :)...how my Sensaria business is going. It is going well. December marks my 12th month as a Sensaria representative and I have had a good year. I have been building my business, my client base as well as learning how to balance my time between my 2 jobs (still at Ruby), my wonderful husband, God, working out (what? does that still exist), my friends and other great things I am blessed with. I plan to continue with my business in 2008 and hope for an even better year. I work with a wonderful group of women in the Portland area and I get to make my own hours. I get out of it what I put into it. And, I have made a little extra money for things like eating out or shopping or pamping myself with a haircut or 2. I have put money back into my business as well, but I think that is expected in your 1st 2 years in a new business. Anyway, overall it is going well. Check out my site at www.sensaria.com/charlenehuwe . Thanks for your support, all you hosts and clients and friends! :)

Merry Christmas!

Since I haven't been sending out Christmas cards, letters or even photos, I suppose this will have to do. I also haven't blogged in a while and I keep getting the gentle nudges from people to update this...so here it is. I have no photos because my camera and my PC stopped communicating. Ryan did show me an alternative way to upload my pics to my PC, but I just haven't made the time. So, you get this. Not much of a Christmas card, I know, but it will have to do. I love you all and Ryan and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2008. We look forward to sharing our lives with you in the new year. Maybe I'll even have more posts than you can count on one hand. :)

I'm an aunt

My sister gave birth to beautiful Niana (knee-on-uh) Grace Holman on Tuesday, July 24 approximately 6pm (my 29th birthday). Niana weighed in at 8 pounds and was 21 inches long. Niana's parents, Scott and Susan are doing well, but are in need of rest! Grandma and Grandpa Holman live nearby and Grandma Sylvia is visiting for 3 weeks to help Susan with things around the house and is more than willing to babysit her granddaughter if necessary. Niana is doing well and is healthy.

...and a promotion!

Not only do we have a new kitten...but I got a promotion at Ruby Receptionists! I will be off the phones shortly and will be taking over as Human Resources Manager as well as Accountant (including AP, AR, and some payroll). I will start my training next week and as soon as they are able to hire and train a new receptionist to replace me, I will be full time at Ruby! I'm getting a raise and benefits. I'm so excited!

Kitten!

We have a new addition to our family. His name is Vader (yes, as in Star Wars. Did you expect anything less?). He is about 11 weeks old and he is black and white with a TINY bit of tabby in him. He is super fun and into EVERYTHING. He and Wicket get along great and they're both doing well. They are buddies.

No More Saturdays!

I'm so exicted...I don't have to work at Ruby on Saturdays anymore! I'm free!!! At least on Saturdays. The only Saturdays I will be working now are the ones I chose to work for my Sensaria business. I'm so excited!
