I ask for strength and I am given difficulties to make me strong

It is now March! I have been a little behind on my blogging so here is a quick catch up. LL is now bigger and better than ever. On top of working my husbands brilliant masterpiece, we have both taken on new endeavors. Him being in the medical industry and myself beginning in oil and gas. I am beyond excited about the opportunities that are on the horizon and I thank God every morning for what he has put into our paths. With that being said we have never been pulled in so many directions at one time and wish there was some guide to life, instruction manual, google map, or some sort of reference that I could just peek at to make sure we are still between the lines. I have never been more sure and more confused than at this very junction in time. But this Leo does not weary without a good fight and you better believe there will be some scratching a clawing at this mountain called life.


It is crazy how when you get to different stages in your life things begin to take a whole new meaning. I remember years ago when March came that meant spring break.. bathing suits, beach and fun. Now a days it means fishing season officially kicks off and we are in motion.

We have just returned from Houston Texas where we did the 36th annual fishing show. Overall it was a very beneficial, almost must do show for us. The contacts we made happen to be incredible and to top that we got to move some product. The industry is beginning to get smaller and smaller and we are starting to learn everyone in it. And the overall consensus, this is such a good ole boy industry and everyone wants a piece. For us, we really hit the pavement last year, and so FINALLY we are beginning to be noticed. We really worked hard at this one. And since we have not been on the road since the end of last year, this particular one really took a tole on us physically. The amount of work both mentally and physically is unreal. For 9 hours a day , we put on our suits and get to selling. We talk to literally hundreds of fishermen, both novice and professional. Fresh water and saltwater, young and old. My partner/husband and I have gotten our whole groove down with eachother that when someone else comes around to help our perfect motion is somehow slowed. We have it down to a science, how many minutes someone should be in our booth, how to close them and the list goes on. As I write it down, I am laughing because of the complete truth behind it. I learned so much in the 5 days we worked that show. One of the things was, this is some bonifide hard work. With lack of sleep, skipped meals and constant networking we finished strong. I am so proud of the partnership that we have and no matter where we go in life, which direction we end up I know together, this pair is a match to be dealt with. During the travel and crazy work I complain, get grouchy, bicker and feel completely exhausted but as we cross the bridge and finish what we started it is the most indescribable feeling ever.. We did it is the only way i can put it into words.
