Good News Pours




Well, on Friday it didn't just rain-it poured good news.  First of all Adam won runner-up in his Business plan competition!  He will receive $5000 on top of his $1000 cash to be put towards business expenses.  We are very happy with the result.  He was told that if he didn't win 1st prize it would be because he is too ambitious.  He was definitely the largest scale business proposed.  He had some other good competition though, so we are very grateful for the place that Adam got, and we feel those funds will be enough to get us enough ahead for what is needed to help start a business and do an audit for the resort we are looking at.  
Next, we got a new nephew.  Rachel and Sam had their baby- a week early-(I'm so jealous) It was a boy and they named him Jett.  We are so happy for you three and for Ady to have another little cousin.
Then Natalie called and told us that she and Thayne won a trip to Hawaii.  They will be coming in October.  We are excited for that.  We haven't had visitors in a while and they are the first to tell us they are coming for sure this year!
And finally-the Jazz played on TV and we got to watch them win!  Actually I didn't get to watch the first half as I was still at work till 7:00, but Go Jazz!  They are doing so good right now!  
I am working a lot right now.  We have 2 weeks left till the Deloitte auditors come, and we have a lot left to do.  On Monday I received the data I've been waiting for and my boss said "You are authorized to work overtime until we are done with this project and closing the year."  So I'm working late nights and Saturdays till then.  The thing is, Adam has to go to work at 6-ish, so he will bring Ady to me to hang out in my office so I can get as much done as possible until she becomes to much and then we go home.   The top pics are of us hanging out in my office.  She thought she was pretty cool sitting in Moms chair.   Although work is a lot right now, I am enjoying it as it keeps me busy.  Also, I'm grateful for Adam being so flexible with my schedule and helping out with taking more than his turn of house chores, taking care of Ady at the same time as doing homework, and being alone.  Don't worry-just 2 more weeks and then hopefully we are back to normal!

Sorry about Betty calling and then hanging up on you Adam. She closed the phone when I caught her with it.
