Summer Fun!

Good morning friends and family,

It has been a few months since my last update, so let me catch you up on what is going on in the Steely family! The house building continues....we are about 2 weeks from being done. All of the floors are in, lights are hung, paint is done. We are lacking the concrete for our porches & driveway, countertops, and the rest of our plumbing fixtures (toilets would be much appreciated :)) We are trying to close by June 18th, that way we can be in it before I have to leave to go to Dallas Market on the 22nd. But we have to close by June 30th to get the tax credit! We are so excited..we can't hardly stand it~it's so close, but yet this last stuff we can't do ourselves, so we are having to wait on people to do it, which is the hardest part!

Like I said earlier, I will leave to go to market (our 3, soon to be 4 companies have showrooms in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Dallas) in Dallas June 22-28 and then I will come back for a few weeks and then go to Atlanta July 14-19. I only do this in Janurary and June/July then I work from Norman the rest of year. It is fun, but very exhausting. I get up around 6 and don't get back to the hotel room until usually 9-10 each night. Most of that time I am on my feet selling our product, so it wears me out! I am currently doing Accounts Receivable and have been a stand-in VP of sales for one of the companies, LIttle River, but when I come back from market, I will start their brand-new company, Flaunt. It will come out in Janurary 2011 and I am so excited for it to launch! It is women's travel accessories + candles, picture frames and much more! It is so cute and girly with bling and flowers, but classy at the same time :) Be looking for it!!!

Leith has been so busy at work and then he comes home every night and works his lil heart out on the house. He has done so much on it and has learned way more than he knew before. I think he has enjoyed it, but is ready for it to be over so we can relax! Speaking of relaxing....we did take the long weekend off and went down to Arbuckle Lake and spent 3 nights just to getaway and have fun. It's been almost a year since we've gotten away even if just for a weekend..because of the house, so this weekend we didn't hardly talk about the house..just spend quality time with eachother (and Jimmy and Jenny) and had a blast on the lake!

Also...last weekend, Addison turned 4! She had a great birthday and birthday party the next day full of cake, cookout, presents and tons of friends and family! We were supposed to have her party at Perfect Swing (family fun center), but due to the tornado the week before, we had to move it to Reaves park. So we just had a cookout under the big pavillion and they played on the park, with bubbles, and silly string and everyone had a great time!

Addi is growing up way too fast and loving every minute of it! The first thing she said on her birthday after screaming..."MOM, I'm 4 Years Old Now", was "Now I get to go to Pre-K!!" All she talks about is going to school and riding on the school bus (which she is NOT doing!). She also got to get rid of her carseat and move to a booster seat, which she can get in and out of by herself, buckle and all, which makes it so nice! She would much rather sit in it because she isn't so constricted, but it isn't too comfortable when she wants to sleep, which she does alot in the car (just like her mom!)

Well...I think I've rambled enough for today...check back with us soon!

Love,
Kristi
