What a year! I think John and I have come through one of the toughest years of our marriage. We were so ready for 2009! Just a little update on everyone....John has started a chair business with his cousin Bill. We hope it will supplement his income until his REAL job finally kicks in. Sales is so unpredictable as everyone knows. For those who don't know, John is in Medical Sales and started just over 2 years ago with 7 accounts. He has grown the business to about 60 new accounts now and hopefully 2009 will bring him great success w/them. They say it takes 3 years to see any signigicant reward in this business. Boy are we ready to see the fruits of his labor! I'm still working in Development at a private christian school but after 10 plus years working in development I'm ready for a change. Hopefully once our new campus is built I can move in another direction there. Until then, I'm starting my bag business up again. As soon as my new website is finished I'll let everyone know where to find me! I've changed the name of the business to Raining Grace. Can't wait to share more about it with you in the coming months. Now for the twins....it's their senior year and it's already half over. I can't believe it! Lauren is working 3 part-time jobs as she only goes to school 1/2 a day. That girl loves being busy! Logan is taking College English this semester and an elective so he is out of school 1/2 a day as well. He's trying to get a head start on college by getting freshman english out of the way. With all the math he's taken he should test out of freshman math at UT. He hopes to get accepted into UT's engineering program this fall with a little head start of some of his courses. In additon to school, Logan is also working part-time. He LOVES Best Buy and especially the in-store discount that he gets. He just bought a HUGE flat screen tv in preparation of going to UTK this coming fall. We are working on all the housing and applications right now including FINANCIAL AID!!! Can anyone help us fill out this FAFSA thing!!!! Hope you and yours have a great 2009! Check back as the year unfolds for the Badger family....I think it's going to be an exciting year!
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
(Many people stop at vs 11 but I like to read on into vs 12-14...)
"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,
and I will listen to you.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me
with all your heart.
I will be found by you, declares the Lord,
and will bring you back from captivity"
