Come see me...

I can't believe I haven't blogged in over a month!! We are finally open for business - but I am still putting price tags on some things. It's so much fun but also so much work, I'm kind of surprised but also rather pleased. Somebody should come and visit me. I'm there all the time. I guess I should say where "there" is?? Our store "Good Buy Con$ignment" is open. The address is 3245 West 7800 South, West Jordan, Utah 84088; due West of Macy's Grocery Store and the West Jordan Post Office (which is how most people find us - waiting to get out of the parking lot at one of these two places). Once I get all the prices on things (almost finished for now) I will start doing some actual advertising - I'm curious to see how that will affect traffic and workload. I didn't know I would have so much fun meeting new people; there are alot of really interesting people out there! In other, but related, news... we are due to get all our furniture out of our Cottonwood House by September 30th. The new owners (a young family with 2 small boys) is due to move in that day. We are really pleased that a young family is moving in. Should be really good for the neighborhood and for their family. We really loved living there while our children were little. Edgardo built an awesome swingset there when Jacob was 4, Sarah was 3, Daniel was 8 months old ("Baby Daniel" was his official name at that time - seriously - no one ever spoke to or of Daniel without the prefix "Baby") and Joshua was just a premonition. The swingset is still there today - 14 years later - and it's in just as good condition as it was the day it was built (thanks to new swings installed 2 years ago when we were remodeling so we could rent to vacationers). The buyers realtor was describing how the kids of the new owners just took over the swingset when they saw it - like it was magnetized - and how the young family has been at the house take pictures and driving by all the time. We are really pleased that they are so excited to live in a house that has such incredibly tender memories for our family. I can't believe what a weepy woman I am - sitting here crying over the memory of my babies on their swingset. Anyway... we're very happy that the new family is excited about living in our first home and wishing them just as much joy there as we had.
