Packing, schoolwork, working, packing...

Last weekend was so wonderful in sunny Las Vegas and John and I really enjoyed a little relaxation while we were there.  The kids all enjoyed themselves also while we were gone.  S\We all got back home on Sunday at different times, and it has been crazy since then.  We are moving our Maids office this weekend and we knew we would have possession of the new office when we got back from our Las Vegas trip.  We has slowly been packing up things we don't need daily, which is not a whole lot in an office, and still had some packing to do when we came back.  Well to our surprise the construction work was not all completed and we were unable to move boxes over until this Friday.  So Ashlyn and I have been packing a little each day and organizing file cabinets, etc since we will only have 2 1/2 days to move everything from one office to the other and completely setup the office to open on Monday.  John also go the flu Tues and Caleb a small stomach virus yesterday.  We are praying the rest of us don't get what John has until Monday at least.  It has been a whirlwind!

On another note, I am enjoying working more at the Maids.  We changed our org chart around this past week and John and I are much more involved in daily operations than before.  So far, we have enjoyed working together.  I think the new office will help improve our culture and will be such a blessing to all of our employees.  It is HUGE compared to where we are now.  I will post pics from this past weekend tonight.  And hopefully pics of the new office after that...

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
