If you couldn't tell by our lack of posts we are completely exhausted! Yesterday we fell asleep by 8pm, and it was a Friday! With the shipment to Ireland coming up on Thursday of next week we are working through the weekend to get everything done in time. Ryan and Bert were able to make the remaining rock models necessary to complete the order today now we have to stain and box up 100 RocLok's so we can pack then up and ship them across the pond.
On top of the increased production, Ryan's extended family is starting a family reunion this Thursday and we are still frantically unpacking from the fire. Thankfully his parents dropped by this afternoon and help clean up all the packing paper and bubble wrap. The best way to describe the mess was a Christmas Morning from Hell. We literally had enough paper to fill the living room from floor to ceiling twice and now have a pile of flattened boxes that are as tall as I am (5'2"). Starting to have our home back feels so nice. It's taking awhile but I think in the end we'll be more organized than before the event happened.
A month before the fire our dog Kahlua wandered out of the yard in the middle of the night. When we woke up we couldn't find him and after driving out to the pound we learned he was killed by a car. The shock of loosing our baby broke our hearts and both feel into a depression. As a result the house was in bad shape when the fire happened. Now almost a year later it is painfully apparent how dark that month had been on us. In a way the fire allowed us to heal away from home and now we can start with a clean slate. I think that having a more positive outlook is going to help us strengthen all the aspects of our lives including the growth of the business.
Well, we have to get over to the shop early again tomorrow, good night all.
