Changes...

Over the last few months our family has gone through a ton of changes.  Good changes thankfully! Turns out I have so much to say about each person in our little family that I have decided to split them into three separate posts.  That way I can journal all the stuff I need too without feeling bad that my post is SUPER long. 

This first post is dedicated to the changes going on in Mr. Adam's life....

This man has been a busy busy man the last couple of months. Usually this time of the year Jayson is juggling selling real estate, doing taxes at his dad's office and getting things ready for the new season with his asphalt business. Oh how different this year has been!

For those of you who don't know, Jayson owns an asphalt business called Precision Asphalt Maintenance.  You can click HERE if you wanna see what they do. This business has been such a huge blessing in our lives.  They have been in business 5 years and each year they have at least doubled or tripled, which is crazy since the economy the last few years has been so horrible. They have put in so much hard work the last five summers and have prayerfully made smart decisions. It has been amazing to see how this business has blessed the lives of not only the owner's families, but all of the employee's as well. 

Those first couple summers were really rough and hard having my husband gone from 6 in the morning till 10 at night laboring in the hot sun.  The floors in my shower all summer long were sick NASTY and covered in black which I HATED scrubbing.  Slowly but surely they were able to hire employee's to do the labor which allowed them to spend more time finding jobs.  And now they have made it to the point where they have salesman to do that portion as well so they can focus on managing and getting even bigger jobs. 

They have been so busy this year that Jayson quit selling real estate and no longer does taxes for his dad.  It sure has been nice not having him juggle a million things at once, but boy have they been busy with their business!

Jayson recently "got one step closer to manhood" as he would call it.  Since we purchased our last car, Ruby (click HERE if you forgot who Ruby is)  Jayson got stuck driving my car NIIIIICE (for those of you who don't know, that is what the license plate said).  Poor Jayson got some pretty strange looks pulling up to meet with property managers and business owners in this beauty....

So, it was time to say goodbye! Thanks to the success of the business he was able to upgrade...

 

I wasn't a huge fan of putting the HUGE logo on the truck after we got it, but I have actually grown to really love it.  As sad as I was to see my sweet sweet Corolla go after all these years, it was a sacrifice I was willing to make!

Another BIG change in Jayson's life is that he is starting a new business.  With his two best friends he currently owns the asphalt business with, Dave and Aaron.

It is actually an asphalt manufacturing business which deals with the production of asphalt material.  I won't go into any details about it, but the last couple of months they have spent a ton of time getting stuff ready to rock and roll with that.  Here in the next couple of weeks they will have an asphalt plant built just in time for the asphalt season to begin!  The start up of a new business is always nerve racking, but I know without a doubt in my mind these three will grow this business just as successfully as they have Precision Asphalt Maintenance.

Another new change in Jayson's life is that he was recently called to the Young Men's Presidency.  This is a perfect calling for him.  He does so well with the youth and absolutely loves getting to work with them.  Although this means less time with him on Sunday's because of his meetings, I am grateful to have such a good example of service in my life.  Plus, he needs something like mutual during the week to let him get some of his inner child out!

Aren't you so happy I decided to split up this post? Sorry for how long this is, but this is literally the only "journaling" type thing I do which I know is horrible! The next post to come will be about me and my ever growing baby belly.  We have a name chosen! So maybe, just maybe, if you're lucky, I will tell you :)
