It's been a while since I've done a "real" post, so let me update. We had a terrific Christmas again, up over $5000.00 from last year in Kettles for a total of $60,000. We are so proud of these numbers because our first year here, we only did $42,000 and the year before we arrived, they only did $29,000. So, we feel like we have really worked hard but are extremely proud of the results. We took some time to visit family. That's always fun but, nothing like getting back home. Speaking of getting back home, both B & K got really sick with high temperatures and B was diagnosed with a mild case of pneumonia. Both my in-laws and my sister and mom got sick after we all left. So, with traveling and sick children, I still felt like I haven't caught up from Christmas. The Dawgs took care of VA Tech in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl and finished the year on a very strong note. Look out in 2007 & 2008. We have a board member who is a VA Tech alumni, I can't wait to see him. The hated Gators of FL won the football national championship. The one game this year, Ohio State didn't show up for. Jeez! Of course with the new year, you always take time to analyze your goals and priorities. We really feel the Lord leading us to new challenges this year particularly with our staff and are aggressively trying to reach those potentials. We have a Thrift Store renovation coming up this month which should bring significant results. I have to go to MS in March for the Territorial Disaster Conference. We hope to get some vacation in around Spring Break with some friends in FL. So, the first half of this year should be busy and very exciting. Hope you all have a great 2007. You will only reach the goals you set!
