Last night, after Pete was home with me and my daughter was in bed, I e-mailed our first job to our first client and sent our very first invoice. I think they might even pay it.
It felt really good, let me tell you. One step towards getting my life fully my own. One step towards being able to afford health insurance without an office job. It will take many, many more steps, I know, but this is the beginning. Then Pete showed me some of the work he's been doing on our website, and it looks just amazing! He spent hours and hours and because he is a problem-solver by nature, and a very patient man, he is creating a site that is a work of art in itself. I am so psyched for us to go live with the new look and all the potential this venture has. This one little job, our first job, will lead to more work from this client--I have no doubt. Everything with Pete feels like that, like all the things we dream about together can easily come true. More than that, it is knowing that even if they don't come true, we will have new and better dreams.
It's good to have him home.
Awesome, what a great feeling. How great that it is both business and personal all at the same time. It sounds like it all fits together and feels so natural and that's how it should be. Yay!
