He&#8217;s catholic so it was a little strange, almost cult like. Still, it was good to go to church on Easter as you always get something from the message. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I went to church, but I do pray every day and try to follow the teachings of the bible. So does lovely Lori, who looked beautiful yesterday, as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First full week of April, lots going on. Ty gets home tonight and has had a great time. Jagger and Ava had her cousins in town over the weekend and are back at work. I think Jagger is taking the big SEC test this week. Lori is working hard and received the approval for her new research program which should be a money maker for her. She put the whole thing together herself. After the site visit last Monday, she received the approval late last week. She&#8217;s pretty amazing at the things she just does, without any formal training or past experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I&#8217;m hiring the second member of my new national account team. Kim is a recently divorced single mom of two boys, I think 7 and 8 years old. She&#8217;s a firecracker and can hang with any of the good old boys in Texas and around the Country. Her largest account is Costco, which is a top target for me nationwide. So now I have two new women on board! Both she and Kate will make a good team and have worked together on accounts in the past, which was a big part of why I&#8217;m hiring her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequently, later this week I&#8217;m either changing the pay of two of my long-term employees to straight commission, or flat out letting them go. This has been a long time coming and I don&#8217;t take it lightly, but as I&#8217;ve said in earlier posts, tough times call for tough decisions. I need to get over to Italy too, maybe late May or early June. I was going to take the kids, but I think Lori and I will just go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think we&#8217;re going to Chicago for Lori&#8217;s birthday. Should be nice weather by then. All the snow from our big snowstorm that brought a foot of snow last Friday, is all gone! It was 68 up here yesterday! We needed the water though, so no complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time to head to the gym, take care, be well and God Bless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Lori and I went to our friend Mark&#8217;s church.
