Dream to Reality

Today our realtor is coming to finalize the paperwork to put our house up for sale. We have been getting it ready with final touches for the last few months and decided to put it on the market now at the beginning of spring.

Our dream, since we have been married 13 years ago, was to have our own business and be debt free. We have worked hard these past years to pay all our student loans off, remain credit card debt free and have started Pauper's Candles. Selling our home will be a huge step in this process. Mark will be able to join me in running our business, Pauper's Candle Company. I am excited about this possibility and can hardly believe we are at this point!

We think that it is time to move Pauper's into a bigger shop where we both can work on the business full time. We are now located on the Oregon Coast. Where will we relocate the business? We are not sure. We have looked at many different locations all over Oregon and Washington. We shall see what happens when we sell our home.

Our Motto this year, "2008 is Gonna Be Great!" is shaping up to be just that.

Bye for now and may April be full of scents and Spring aromas.
