A Lot Can Happen in a Year

My wife is about ready to start her busy season this Friday at the Salvation Army. For forty days they will have bell ringers placed all over Washington County. I remember last year all too well! We were living in a cold, dark basement, I was working at night at Hollywood Video (whom just declared bankruptcy by the way) and she was working about 80 hours a week; from morning till night while getting more and more exhausted and stressed out. That all culminated with her being in bed sick for about two weeks. Last year was a very difficult time although we survived off of the excitement of being in a new place.

Quite a contrast with this year! Kelli has a full time assistant that is going to help her schedule the bell ringers and has another assistant who will be there to count every night so Kelli only has to be there about three nights instead of six. Plus she will not have to go in on those days until around noon or so. I am working part-time with Evergreen as you all know which I cannot express how much better that is than Hollywood Video! And we are not living in the basement! Granted, we live above a garage, but come on, one step at a time!

God has really shown us many blessings in the last year and a half and we are very thankful!
