Beach or Bust!

I haven't posted in awhile. Here's a brief recap: I worked Mary Kay like mad and made enough money to cover my bills and go to Seminar! I had a great time and you can read all about it over on Shades of Pink! Now I'm getting settled back into my regular routine. It's been rough because the trip was a great escape, but not exactly a relaxing vacation. It was business, after all. It was busy. I loved every minute of it!
Now it's back to work and August is the busiest month of the year for us. I already need another vacation! LOL So, I was bored and decided to look up Myrtle Beach vacation packages. They are quite affordable! I can totally up my sales in August and not only afford the vacation, but finish my Star! So, my goal is to hold 7-10 parties in August so I can finish Star which will enable me to take my trip in the process.
The trip is designed to be a honeymoon for me and Hubby since our anniversary is coming up next month and we never took a honeymoon. Hubby's never been to Myrtle Beach. That was our spot when I was growing up. My family went there just about every year. September is a fabulous time to go. My friend owns her own dog grooming business out of her home and she boards as well. Tonight she had a party at her place and I asked her if she boards large breeds (never sure). She said she would totally take Billy! She just charges $10/day! Do you know how awesome that is??? So, I told Hubby this and he is being a stubborn mule. He said he doesn't want someone else watching his dog. Well, I'm sorry, but a 14 hr car rid is not fun for a dog and it will not be fun for us either with the dog. My friend has a pool that she allows the dogs to swim in. My dog loves to swim. He would be living the life! She loves dogs. Where can this go wrong? I'm to the point where I'm just going to book this the way I have it planned and board the dog with my friend. If Hubby doesn't like it, well, maybe I'll be vacationing alone. Actually, two of my girls have expressed they will gladly go with me. That would work. The suite has a sleeper sofa.
Our marriage needs some help and I think the less stress the better. The dog is not going to run away. My friend has a fenced in yard and she has been in business for over a decade. I'm beside myself.
