Training

We have a little chef in the making around here.

But first, let me back up and say Sean and I have a business we like to call Gafner Catering. Seriously. Have our own personal business liscesce, website, and car sticker that all say Gafner Catering. After 9 years of doing caterings for people on the side and 9 years of building up our name and business, we finally decided to go official with it. Feels good. Its something we love to do and have found are pretty good at. Pretty conveniant having a chef for a husband and all. We do mostly weddings, but have also done special events. Well, something happened (something like the Lord really blessing us), and we are booked one a month through the summer. Sean and I had talked a while back and had decided one a month is PLENTY with kids, and our already busy schedule.

So yesterday we had a wedding. 300 hundred people at this wedding. Just tons of desserts and chocolate fountain goodies. So what do we do when catering a 300 person wedding with nothing but cakes and chocolate and candy bars, and rice krispies, and strawberries, and cheesecakes? We bring in the kids! Perfect time to start training up the ones behind us. Skylar came in did AMAZING! (I think it was the apron I specially made for her for her big debut as a caterer)...I was sooo impressed! 5 hours of work, from a 5 1/2 year old and not one single complaint. Encredible. She washed and cut and skewered, and ate, and nibbled, and skewered, and nibbled. Impressive. She wants to be in the family business as a caterer when she gets older :) I love it. We will soon need to change our name to Gafner Family Catering!!! So proud of my daughter, proud of my amazing chef of a husband, just proud all around :)

Lost

I lost my baby....I am having such a hard time with this miscarriage for some reason. Maybe it has just been this season in particular thats been hard thats making it seem harder....I don't know. Its been such a tough, emotional week. As shocked as I was to find out I was pregnant, and as crazy as it seemed to be pregnant with my back as jacked as it is, I was really excited about it...

.....I've just been so sad. So lost. Not quite sure how to be, what to say...not really wanting to say a whole lot, or be a whole lot....

But today I feel like a little more me. I have my kids home, my husband home, and am emmersed back into life. A busy home, busy kids...these things make me happy. Being with Sean makes me whole, watching my kids play and make up stories, and musicals, and slam balls all over the house, and ram monster trucks into anything in their line of sight. These kids, this Husband, this life, is good. Its been a rough week...rough few months, but I feel like I am on the up-swing.....up-swings are good....
