Hey all,
So....clearly, I've neglected my blog for far too long. So here we go, I'm back and I'm going to do my best to stay with it.

We've just returned home from a quick trip to Missouri. We went back for a Missouri Western State University function. High school students all across the state of Missouri came to a competition where they created a business plan, PowerPoint, and presented it to a panel of judges, all within 2 hours! Robbie led a group of these aspiring students in their challenge. I stayed for a bit, but quickly realized I wasn't much "help"....these kids are soo intelligent and business minded. I couldn't believe it, they were thinking of business concepts and marketing ideas that I am only thinking of now because I am in it! I was super impressed!

Also, while back, I met up with my dear friend Lesley and we got our hairs colored. Here we are looking.......awesome!
It was so good to be back, even if it was only a quick trip. We love getting to see friends and family any chance we get!

Upon arriving back to Cali yesterday morning, we went straight to the store as we had to finish and deliver an order of 200 gift bags, including:
-800 pretzel rods rolled in various toppings
-60 lbs of fudge
-100 lbs of Rocky Pop (caramel corn)
-50 lbs of peanut brittle
-50 lbs of chocolate covered almonds
-50 lbs of chocolate covered pistachios
-400 Snickerdoodle cookies

Whew! Luckily we had almost all of it made before we left. We have awesome employees who helped us get the cookies, labeling, and some packaging done while we were gone. So when we arrived home from the airport we just had to assemble the 200 gift bags and deliver. By the end, I was exhausted and took myself to bed at 6 pm last night! Now today we are getting ready to do a fundraiser booth for approx 600 people tomorrow night! Busy, busy, but we love it!

Hope you are all doing well! Keep me accountable on this blog!


Have a lovely Thursday!
