The Car Needed Protection!


This entry should have come before the last one, but better late than never. As you can see from the photo Long's car got a little love wrap from his former friends/co-workers. Part of his "going away" present for getting promoted was having his car shrinked wrapped! It took 2 full rolls and a small EL Salvadorian woman rolling completely under the car to get that tight fit. They presented him with a card that said 'So' Long on the cover and everyone wrote nice words of encouragement! They also gave him a watch and a gas card for all those extra miles that will be added on to his drive. Long and the gang went to T.G.I. Friday's for drinks and appetizers. He was the designated driver for those who needed it when it was time to say goodbye! Well that about does it for now...until next time...happy reading!

Would you like some pie with that?


Well Long has been keeping busy with his new warehouse, as you can see! Since starting he has been trying to help increase the number of membership upgrades. So he and his department manager Keith decided to rally the troops, a.k.a the cashiers to a piece of the pie. If they were able to increase membership upgrades from Goldstar to Executive by the end of friday at 5 pm then Long and Keith would each get a pie in the face! Well Long recieved at text from Keith on Thursday that the troops accomplished that goal by 4 pm that day! So Friday the pie throwing began and fun was had by all! I sure hope it tasted good! Way to go Long and keep up the good work!

Craziness

Well I was hoping by blogging that it would get me out of having to write the family Christmas letter, but I'm thinking it won't! Well to catch you up on the latest, Long got a promotion at work! He is now the Assistant Front End Manager for the Costco located in Harrisonburg, VA. Since we currently live in WV he now commutes an hour and a half to work. I am soo proud of him and I know he will do a great job! With this promotion comes the decision as to whether or not do we move or do we not. We have talked with a realtor and for now with the way the market is and not wanting to owe a huge amount on the mortgage at closing, we have decided to wait and see if things turn around and or something opens up closer to where we live. After we told some friends about the possibility of moving, we were told that we are not allowed to move, but we are trusting the Lord for His direction in our lives! It seems like we are moving every 2 years and we always keep things in pencil, as should you. Hopefully soon we can find a place to plant some roots and start a family! Until next time...

Welcome...

Long and I just wanted to thank you to you for taking the time out of your busy lives to catch up and read about what is going on in our lives! Hopefully we won't let you down!
