Reflections
As the new year starts, I look back on the past year and all the changes and reflect on a good life. As you all know, we moved the store due to monetary considerations back in April. It was pretty much like starting over, but I am very thankful for our faithful customers who followed us to the new location. Seeing friendly, familiar faces is always a blessing.
We started at the new location by taking down 2 walls and leaving the game room as a completely separate room. Soon, we took down the front wall of the game room and eventually removed the last of the walls, opening up the store in a dramatic fashion. Big thanks go out to Robert for helping us so much with the demolition and electrical work. Soon we may even have everything patched and painted!
Last year I also started work at the Verizon Wireless call center, leaving my husband in charge of the store for several months. Soon that changed too, as I went to part time at Verizon and full time at the store. This is a change that pleased James greatly. 
This year I’m hoping the major change will be that I only work here.
We also got a part time employee this year, which was great. It’s nice to know the store is in good hands when we aren’t here to watch it. Thank you to Jay and Kendel for your brief stints here, and thank you to Brandon for your enthusiasm. We hope the change this year will involve more time for him at the store.
What a wonderful year! We aren’t getting rich, but we are getting by, and for that I am most grateful. May all of your New Year’s wishes come true, and may we be here to share in them.
