Day 2: Today we showed up to the shop, our contractor worked overnight to finish all the painting, molding, electrical outlets, and all the touch ups. Honestly, was shocked when we walked in and beyond grateful.
Then I went and got boxes to ship out inventory from our purchase yesterday to our wholesaler. It was a trail and error, I had very vague guidelines and lots of tape and figuring out weight, value and packaging, all while calling support line from the wholesaler... I'm doing this right? Too many times, yet each person gave me grace and was very helpful.
Took the boxes to UPS to then find out it was a FedEx label. It was lots of trail and error and part of the process, I'm laughing about it now.
At the same time, our XRF machine to test jewelry arrived and now on my todo list to have a training and set that up tomorrow. Because it's WAY more than plug in and turn on.
Also at the same time, the jewelry cases were picked up today and our business concierge did a turn around trip to DFW to pick them up. So tomorrow we will also be having an assembling party.
Lastly, I have an appointment with our website design team to start the layout and function of the website.
Lots to do, yet very excited for what tomorrow brings, because Steven is currently sleeping and snoring and I'm (his wife) writing a recap of his day so we can look back and cherish these moments God has brought to us in this new season of life.
So y'all until tomorrow...
