Is it just me or is anyone else struggling with the fact that it is JULY already. I mean where has the time gone? I firmly remember it just being January. I had such lofty goals for this year and just like always here I am mid year wondering where all the time went and telling myself that it’s no use starting now, I might as well just wait for January to come back around.
I took a pretty big leap of faith (in myself) earlier this year and decided to become an independent sales advisor for Lia Sophia jewelry. I mustered up all the courage I could find and signed on the dotted line and now I’m one of those ladies who goes home to home toting her wares. (wow that sounded kind of dirty). I was quite terrified at first but it’s been a few months and I’ve had several successful shows so who knows maybe this will work out after all. If you’d like to check out what I have to offer (again witht the dirty) head over to www.liasophia.com/jenbradshaw.
I conquered another huge fear last week by going on my first solo trip with Chase. Heather and Brit somehow convinced me that it would be a good idea to pack up my toddler, hop on a plane and meet them in Utah. I have to say, they were totally right. We all headed out west to attend the EVO conference in Park City. I must say it was the best conference I have ever attended. The location was to die for, the sessions (at least the ones I made it too) were fantastic and the people, OMG THE PEOPLE. Everyone I met there was almost disturbingly nice, right down to the waiters at the restaurants. Our cab driver was a little weird but I’m pretty sure he meant well when he offered us cherries. From Katie’s mishaps, to Brit’s epic freak out, to the shooting of the latest Annabel movie, it was definitely a trip worth remembering. I can’t wait to do it again next year.
As of today I am 18 weeks and 4 days pregnant, which basically means I’m going to have this baby in about 10 years, at least it feels that way. Somehow telling myself that I’m almost halfway done just isn’t making me feel any better. I am at least finally over the nightly sickness and have moved on to only occasionally feeling like setting up residence in the bathroom. The tiredness is still kicking my ass but I’m pretty sure that can also be attributed to the resident toddler who likes to lay awake from 2 am till 4 am just looking at me. He is so insistent on this game that if I close my eyes he will reach over and stick a finger in them. It’s hard to be annoyed by this when I open my eyes to find him smiling at me.
That’s really all there is for now, I know it isn’t much but it’ll just have to do.

I seriously can’t imagine being pregnant with a 1 year-old. I admire you for doing it, I just remember how exhausted I was during that time, and I’m pretty sure that getting pregnant then would’ve pushed me over the edge. (Of course, I also have a kid who’s a notoriously bad sleeper.)
But yay! for the halfway point! And pretty soon you get to find out if Baby bshaw #2 is a he or a she, which is awesome.
Still jealous of the EVO conference, it looked awesome. Might have to think about going to that one next year…
OMG you BLOGGED!
Looks like you all had a blast, jealous that I couldn’t make it but I think that I MUST go next year. (Do you think we can get Brittany buzzed enough to get back into a gondola for another freakout…LOL)
Yeah. 18 weeks? When you have 40 to pop out a fully cooked baby?
I should have baked you a casserole or something, it’s the state past time in Utah.
Nate does that touching of the face thing, too. It’s hard to be mad when they’re so cute.
I sold Lia Sophia for a few months in 2008. I got soooooooooooooooooooooo much jewelry it was amazing! But, I just didn’t have the time or money to keep going with it. I ordered everything under the sun for post cards, forms, stamps, folders, etc etc etc. It was worth it even for the few months that I did it, since I got so much jewelry out of it for slim to nothing!
