In Seventh Heaven

We’ve ran a construction business for 15 years and though it has had its ups and downs like all businesses, the good thing is that we’ve helped a lot of people by giving them quality construction jobs. Some of our workers have been with us all these years and though some of them are still quite new, they are all treated fairly and paid a good wage that each of them deserve.

I don’t know how long this family business will exist since dad’s almost ready to retire. And once he retires, I think the business will cease operating since he’s the only one who knows the ins and out of it, not to mention he’s the only one who can create the estimates and plans needed for those mechanical and civil works. I think it would be different if either of his sons had shown an interest in the business but they chose other careers. But then, he could possibly sell the business which would give someone else an opportunity at success as well as employment to our skilled workers. Come what may, dad has earned the right to retire and relax.

I so love jewelry like as women do. My fiancé is aware of that and I made certain he knew so that he would not yak at me just in case I’ll buy more aside from the few sets I’ve got. Hehe. Diamonds are a woman’s best friend, are they not? I don’t have a diamond jewelry yet, but maybe soon. Paging my fiancé! LOL.

Nah, I am just teasing him but, really, I would love to acquire more jewelry in the future. It can be a good investment too since I can pawn it or sell it just in case I need emergency money. Maybe I will just try wholesale jewelry shopping so it won’t be a real pain in the pocket. That’s a nice idea and I know for certain, my fiancé will agree with me. Right, Honey?

As much as I don’t want to pressure myself, I just can’t help myself from counting down the days until I will set my eyes on my fiancé again, not on the video cam but for real this time; in the flesh, up close and personal. Do I sound like I’ve been daydreaming a lot? No doubt I have been and I won’t deny that I am totally guilty of such. But the good thing is, I am not the only one guilty for my fiancé is 100% guilty as well – just one of the many things that we have in common and one of the reasons too why we get along so well. Talking about this now makes me giddy, anxious and impatient the more.

Oh well, I think I will just have to stop myself right now before people accuse me of being mushy and cheesy, or as what my Honey likes to say, sappy. Hehe. I will just get myself busy reading about direct mail marketing. I’ve been told by a friend about it and its benefits so let me read and learn more. Maybe my fiancé and I can start our own business when we’re finally together. Hmmm…something else to daydream about, huh?

My fiancé writes for his plant’s newsletter. Their publication is issued quarterly so he has ample time to prepare his article. But he needs to get his article prepared a week or two before the deadline so he won’t be cramming. Anything goes when it comes to his topic – but sometimes his editor gives him a choice of additional topics to discuss and allows him to choose which one he’ll write about other than his own personal article.

For this quarter, he was given a topic about promotional products and how it can be of great help to one’s company. Knowing my fiancé to be smart, I know the topic will be a piece of cake for him. I myself even know how helpful those products are when it comes to a establishment’s marketing strategies. But what’s more, he knows a lot more than me about such things. He has shared with me the articles he has done in the past and I can’t wait to read this one.
