It was a great night! <\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">First of all, I have to brag a little. I am proud as heck of my husband and my sister for making the courageous step to go into business for themselves1 I know I could never do that. I would be a terrible Amway or Avon salesperson and I don&#8217;t really have a skill set that translates well to being self-employed.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Second, last night was the first time that my sister and I were at an event like this together. Generally if we are together we are with other family members and so we tend to revert to the ways we&#8217;ve acted around each other for years. But last night we were just 2 people at a networking event. We certainly didn&#8217;t hide the fact that we were sisters but that&#8217;s not how we were defined. She was a web designer and I was the wife of the host and thats&#8217; how people responded to us. It was an interesting perspective and something we both noticed as the event was winding down. <\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that my sister is always going to be the cute one- I&#8217;d been being told this over and over again since the day she was born and for a long while it really bothered me. But I finally figured out that doesn&#8217;t really matter and she doesn&#8217;t believe it anyway. Now we are able to appreciate each other for the strengths we have and have a really good relationship. And after last night I think it will be even better.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night my husband had a Chamber After Five event at his store.
