Guess what?? Ok, you'll never guess it so I will just come out and tell you. In two weeks I will have a
new employee! Ok, that's probably the last time that I will be able to call him that :)
It's Mr. Man! We've been talking about it for a while and my store just keeps getting busier and busier so we decided that
it's time. He put in his two week notice today.

Am I nervous? A little. It's kinda scary to have four children, a mortgage, a minivan payment (you get the idea) and give up an entire income!
I am not nervous about us working together though. We ran our sign business together for years before moving to NC with very few "flare ups". I think you can only work with your spouse if you are as truly, madly, deeply, in love as we are (ok, enough of the corniness!)
Our plan has been for him to work away from the business (it's not free to live here ya know) while I started the sign business up again and then he would join me. It took us longer than we thought it would (we've been here for four years) but having the Little Boy threw a wrench (albeit a beautiful, wonderful little wrench) in the works.
So we have finally met our goal! YAY!
I am sure that you will be hearing more about and from Mr. Man when he is officially my employee (had to throw it in one more time).
