| I have the exciting opportunity to ride in the MS 150 on April 18th and 19th, raising money for our local MS Society. Fighting Multiple Sclerosis is a huge priority for the company I work for and I'm excited to be involved with the Employer Flexible MS 150 Team (Team Believe).
Specifically, we will be riding our bicycles from Houston, TX to Austin, TX, approximately 180 miles over a two day period. We are each asked to fundraise $500 in pledges to ride. If you would like to contribute to the MS Society on my behalf please use the following link. Any amount helps researchers find a cure!

Thank you for your support! I look forward to letting you know how the event goes!

| Be in prayer for us, as we are in litigation...and are feeling like we're up against Goliath. It's all in the news: the Bankruptcy of Silver State Helicopters. They were a conduit for Gabe to reach his dreams of flying commercial helicopters, but instead, decided to take our money and run.
Pray that God does something big. Some of Gabe's classmates have threatened suicide over this!! They don't have any belief that God can overcome for them and defend them. We are trying to keep that faith and it is hard sometimes, but with God all things are possible, right?

| We went to Dallas this weekend to celebrate Celeste's 1st Birthday. Although it was a wonderful celebration, everyone could sense the absence of Sydney Claire, our dear niece we lost 8 months ago. Celeste is busy filling everyone's lives with joy.
I surprisingly got a half day at work yesterday. I probably should have stayed and worked since we have so much to do for year-end processing, but I gladly took the offer to go home. Gabe got me some wonderful gifts including a new pair of shoes and a gift certificate to Sam Moon Trading Co....this is going to be my new favorite shopping destination.
Gabe is now working as a Business Development Manager for One Source Building Technologies in North Houston. He has had a successful start so far. I am going on 2 years at Employer Flexible and am about to get a new addition to my payroll team. Still trying to process how I feel about the company's growth over the last year. Starting with a small company and watching it grow can be emotionally difficult because the atmosphere changes so much as new people come on board.
I am on a Forensic Files binge at the moment. I have about 20 episodes on my DVR.
Merry Christmas and remember the reason for the season :)

| I'm in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO visiting some of the most special people in my life. Lorrie moved her about 4 months ago, so Teresa and I flew in from Nashville and Houston, respectively, to check out the new place. It's wonderfully serene here. I haven't been here since 01 when I last climbed Pike's Peak. Been here since Thursday and we have to leave tomorrow already. It just doesn't seem right. We've done some shopping, lots of eating, and had a wonderful dinner last night with the best boss's ever, Scott and Erinn Barnes & fam!
Gabe started a new job on October 22nd, and it fits him like a glove. He's an Account Manager for a company that handles the outsourced work from several big name telecom companies. Gabe handle's the AT&T accounts, quotes, and setting up the vendors to perform that necessary jobs around the country. His company is currently handling the job that is going on in Nashville...setting up the wireless network at Opryland!
We have two Christmas parties coming up, one the next day after the other...should prove fun since one is in The Woodlands and the other is in the heart of downtown Houston. It will be my once a year trip into the big city :) Glad I live in the 'burbs...the city stresses me out.
