Hi friends!!
I was shocked to see how long it has been since I blogged. Life has been sooo crazy!! A few updates:
This has been one of my most challenging years. As many of you know, in the past year I have lost my niece, Sam, my uncle Jay, my sister, Heidi, my nephew Nick and Pete's mom. Losing that many family members in a short span really makes you reevaluate your life, your goals, and your perspective on things.
I also had back to back hand surgeries this summer, so that was almost 12 weeks of zero renovations. But I am glad to say I am healed up!! No more arthritis, no more bone spurs and no more pain!!
So now we are entering our "slow" season as Innkeepers. In Wisconsin, we get our most visits during the spring and summer. So now it is full steam ahead with finishing projects. But first...
Pete and I made it our goal early on to operate the B&B April through October, and spend winter months sailing on our boat. Every important decision we make, we keep our goal in mind. In a few weeks, we will be sailboat shopping at the Annapolis Boat Show, getting steps closer to making our dream a reality.
It's not easy. It sucks somedays :-) But you really weigh out what is important. Should we get a new car? Or just buy a used one? Should we take vacations? Or save money toward our goal? As the time gets closer, it gets BOTH easier and harder, if that makes sense. Easier because we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, harder because I am NOT a patient person!!
So.. the blogging will continue :-) I now have more time to update everyone on our renovations, our story and even throw in some yummy recipes and tales of Innkeeping.
Leave me a comment about what projects/stories/recipes you want me to share! xoKeri
