Long Time No See!

Well, here I am.  I have been meaning to update for ummm…almost a year now.

While I am sure no one has been checking to see if we have updated,  I still feel compelled for some unknown reason to being writing again…so I indulge myself! Shocker.

All I can say is what a year it has been. Settling back into life in DC has been no picnic, since as I am sure you gleaned from the posts  from our trip back east from LA we were conflicted about coming back.

While it was the right thing to return, I wont go as far as saying I am GLAD. Nope.

But I think that probably has a lot to do with the fact that by the time we came back, the economy had managed to really hurt my shop. Long story short, I had to close in May. Which  sucked so bad.  I wont go into the gory details of the actual closing…oh no. You can read all about it on my little wedding blog that I write to deal with my still wedding obsessed self.   Of course, that wedding blog may not really be helping said fixation, but nonetheless, it is where I have documented the closing of my store.

After closing, I found myself adrift, and, admittedly depressed.  A couple months of fruitless job searching, and  at last, I  got a job working at Anthropologie! Yahoo! One of my favorite stores.  Simultaneously I was working with one of my past bridal designers to try and wholesale gowns.  Of course, the repping is not easy, since the same economy that forced me to close my bridal shop is affecting those businesses as well…but I forge ahead!

Anyway, I am am finding my way, all the time plotting to go back west. Which is pure insanity, I know.  Sometimes I think we want to go back across just because we enjoy doing it so much!

Who can say.

Anyway, that’s it for now, but I am 100% sure I will be back before the week is out.  Writing this blog has been helpful with getting my thoughts in order, and since I am finally in a place to do that via random thoughts and restaurant reviews, here I go!

I know you are waiting with baited breath.

hm.
