Growing pains

I am planning on doing a post soon of all our Easter festivities but it will have to wait because I have been pondering all our family's growing pains lately. Usually when you think of growing pains you think of kids- well Chan and I are doing some of our own. Our family business lost the bid for our retail space in the airport but that has opened a door to a new relationship with a food and beverage company. With this new connection comes new construction in the airport of some pretty amazing restaurants that we're excited about. Also the family have decided to open a new women's boutique store in Draper called Zeta so we are also building it out and getting it ready for a July open date. Add to that the fact that I am now working about 17 hours a week as an aide at the middle school and our work life is getting quite intense! FOR SURE more on Chan's end and for his family as well! Mine will end for summer soon which I have to admit I am looking forward to. It seems that our working "pains" are going to be challenging for a bit... we will keep you updated. Now not only are the kids physically growing they are stepping into some new ground this year too! Carter is leaving middle school and going to high school and with that an intense desire to play on the JV football team as a starting lineman!! Add to that the fact that he will be getting his driving permit soon! Then Will is moving on from elementary to middle school and with that comes the promise of a cell phone because that's what we did for his brother! Then Brianne will be the only one left at the elementary school and will be entering the 4th grade! Yup that's three kids and three different schools! Crazy! I am grateful that I have a whole summer to sort it out and even more grateful that Chan keeps me involved in all the decisions that are going on with him and his family. So if you see me looking a bit like a deer in headlights, now you know why!!
