Catching Up

I am trying to catch up, so if you are checking my blog, there may be several posts at a time that are new.  :)

Proud of A.

A. works really hard at school in fact he considers math and reading some of his talents.  Every quarter we lived in Prescott, AZ he got all A's on his report card.  At his school, that puts you on the Principal's List and you receive a dog tag each time.  We were really proud of him.  He is a wonderful brother and son. :)

Finally! Owners- Finally Posted

I need to get back into the habit of blogging.  When Andy was commuting, I learned to be pretty private about what was going on.  But now, I need to get back to documenting our lives.  :)

Andy came to Wenatchee, WA in December to check out a dental practice.  Andy always had strong opinions about any practice he went to visit.  I was stunned that he came home with no "drawbacks" about this one.

We prayed and pondered.  We researched.  The broker was concerned that maybe once I saw Wenatchee, I would halt the sale.  I told Andy to assure him that I thought Wenatchee was a wonderful place and that when I was a girl, it was the "big city".  :)

In the end, some things happened that made us feel that the Lord had answered our prayers.  We felt good about buying this practice.  After six months, the purchase went through and we moved back to Washington the beginning of May.  We are learning a lot as business owners, like for one...  I am a business owner too, even though I know little about dentistry.  We have already had to hire an employee and have jumped right into marketing.  I am excited for Andy to run it the way he wants, rather than be someone else's employee.  It's definitely a new chapter in our lives.  It's stretching us because it's all so new.  But we will get it.

And I am loving being closer to my family.  A few times, we have just gone over to my parents' house for dinner for no good reason, other than to see them.  Yay.  :)
