Yes, it's been a while since I've sat down to write or anything.2012 seemed to go by fast for us. Our business went though some growing changes, but it feels like we have the right "fit" for everything. The leasing side has really taken off. In 2012, we leased more vehicles than we sold~a goal we hit earlier than expected. We believe we now have the mechanic that we've needed all along. We added an alignment rack as well as tire sales to our services.
Noelle is in her junior year and was named color guard captain. She turned 16, had a pretty cool Sweet Sixteen party, complete with DJ, magician and her favorite gift a car. She has discovered a love of rugby, yes, RUGBY! This from a girl who does not like to sweat. Her team won state this year and she looks forward to playing again in the fall.
Michael continues his love of guitar. For Christmas he got a 12 string electric/acoustic. He wants to write an album specifically for the 12 string. I believe this not brings his guitar total to around 14, but whose counting. He's in his freshman year and next year will be at the high school with his sister.
Sadly this year we said good bye to Sean's best friend, Jason. They had been best friends since junior high. Jason fought a long battle against cancer and sadly, like so many others, he was unable to defeat it. I know that there are still times where Sean struggles with the fact that Jason is gone. However, I know that, with all of those who have gone before us, Jason is still with us everyday.
One of my goals of the new year is to get back to blogging like I used to and it's one I'm going to work hard to keep.
