Shawn got me a beautiful card and a lilac bush for Mother's Day in memory of Jesse. I was so touched. :) We have planted the lilac bush near the corner of our deck so I'll be able to enjoy the fragrance from my offic window.

I'm still working on my candles, and they are coming along nicely. I'm also in the process of redoing my site design as I decided the other one seemed a bit crunched. I really don't have any ideas for how to lay it out, but I'll work on it. I know what I don't like anyway LOL.

Shawn and I went golfing yesterday at the club where he has a membership. I had a lot of fun, and Shawn said I did great. He would be in Heaven if I took up golfing and is already trying to talk me into joining tournaments with him this Summer. I guess I don't need to be good to join LOL. I told him I need to practice at least 10 more times before I'll even consider it.

Well, I don't have much else to write about. I need to get ready for work. :)

P.S. I really need to change this blog design. I'll have to see if I can come up with something new.

Congrats to you on the success of your show. Your display looks gorgeous with those sunflowers and greenery. The tables look very elegant, and your soap display is gorgeous also!

Shawn and I had a great weekend. He had to bowl on Saturday and had invited a few people over beforehand for a party. It was a lot of fun. We were planning on having a deck party, but of course it rained all day. Luckily a few people couldn't make it so we all fit nicely in the house. It was a very long day, but well worth it.

Things are pretty much back to normal with Shawn and I. I am so thankful that we were able to talk everything over and work it out. He is the first guy that actually listens and enjoys our talks. He always tells me how much closer he feels after we discuss things. It's amazing to me how we can still be learning so much about each other. I'm optimistic though and know things will be ok. It's going to take some changing on my part as well as his. We have been doing so well the past couple years, but we'd both like to improve some areas. :)

Meanwhile, I am still testing candles. Honest to God, I never thought it would take this long. I am still not 100% satisfied with my product. I am going to keep testing and testing until I get it right. I'm not even going to give an estimation of time anymore because it seems like I keep saying one more week......etc. I keep thinking I almost have it but then something crops up that I don't like. I am still having a blast with it though, but really am anxious to get going with the business. So who knows how long it will be yet :). So far I am still on schedule but I know I'm going to run a few weeks behind. It's no biggie though and well worth the wait. :)

Shawn and I have had quite a few long talks over the last few days. I do believe we have covered all our concerns. We are going to work this out. Both of us have some changes we are going to try and make. We do love each other and have such a wonderful relationship in all other ways, that is would seem silly that these differences we have could cause us to question our relationship.

I don't need to go into details because it's not that big of a deal. But I can say Shawn is the complete opposite of me in personality and in some of his interests. He is very laid back, always happy, very funny, loves to be the center of attention and thrives in a crowded room, loves the outdoors, very active in sports and anything outside. Then you have me. I am more of a loner and do better in small groups of people, I am not that quiet but somewhat reserved. I do not like to be in a crowded room and would prefer to stay in the corner or sit quietly so I'm not noticed. I am a worry wart and worry about too much too often. I would rather sit in the house on my pc or making candles etc. rather than outside doing anything. I'm sure you can see the problem here. On a positive note, Shawn's easy going nature does rub off on me sometimes. We laugh and giggle and act crazy like 2 kids often!

So I am going to make an effort to try some activities that I know Shawn enjoys. Actually, I did try quite a few things last Summer. He got me out golfing and playing tennis, both of which I enjoyed. It's so important to Shawn that we do something (anything) physical together. So I will try to be more active this year so we can spend time together. My alternative is to sit home along while Shawn goes and does his own thing, which would not work with us. Shawn on the other hand is going to be more understanding about me not liking certain things so we'll try to come up with things we can do that we will both enjoy.

Our differences do go deeper than I'm able to convey here, but the main thing is we are working on them. I just really need to learn to lighten up. I know it in my head, but my heart tells me different. It's so hard for me to let things roll off my shoulders, but I will try harder. Well, I know I'm not wording this very well so I'll quit for now and write more later.

P.S. That is another thing I'm working on. When Shawn and I have our talks, I have a hard time expressing what I'm trying to say and it usually comes out wrong and makes things worse. I need to really guard my tongue. :)
