SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

Wahoo!!!!!!!!! Brittannie comes to visit tonight! For some reason I am super excited. Tomorrow I am taking her up to Ft. Collins so she can visit Colorado State University, show her around town and poison her for three days straight with Colorado Love.

Who knows maybe in a couple months I will have a sister right up the street!

**note to the rest of the family... Colorado is where its at!** :)

Prayer Request

We were contacted by a hotel in Boulder CO that wants to change their candles in the bar and restaurant to soy. They would regularly require 500 votives a month. We made them a bulk deal of $0.50 a votive, instead of our normal $1.00 a votive since they want white unscented. This would be a steady extra income of $250.00 a month, which would be wonderful. We will be sending them a few samples tomorrow, so pray that they love our candles and chose to use us!

Monica's Trip to CO

This is a few weeks late, but my sister Monica came to visit for a week. She is the first person in my family to come and visit. I didn't get to spend a ton of time with her since I had to work, but we got to spend each evening with each other, and the whole day on Thursday. I also got to meet her great new boyfriend, and they are perfect together!

On Thursday I took her up to Flagstaff in Boulder where we seem to take everyone that comes for a visit. The road was closed so we had to walk up and up, but the view was beautiful. We also think we saw a mountain lion print in the snow!

After that we went to the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory, which was pretty awesome. I had been wanting to go, but wasn't sure if it would be fun. I had a good time though! We got to taste about 20 different kinds of tea, go into the Mint Room (boy was that strong!), walk the assembly line, and got a free sample of tea to take home. It was pretty cool. My favorite part is the "Bargain Bin." When the machines get backed up, they kick the boxes off tea off the line onto the floor. These boxes go into a bargain bin, that is $1.00 for a box of 10 tea bags, $1.50 for a box of 20 tea bags, and $2.00 for a box of 40 tea bags. I got 3 boxes of 20 tea bags for $3.88! Who cares if they fall on the floor! They are already in the box and wrapped in plastic, so it isn't like they are dirty or anything. I think every time I go to Boulder I am going to stop in Gift Shop just to raid the bargain bin!

I had a really great time she was here, and was really glad she got to come out. I haven't seen her since my wedding night! I hope she enjoyed my beautiful state!
