Bounce U Update

Looks like we are back to square ZERO in our never ending search for a location. Todd has spent the last few days over in our territory driving and looking. he found a few new possibilities. We have passed the info onto our realtor and will see what he can come up with.

We found out this week that the Frisco territory has sold. We talked to the new owners, and the Plano store has officially opened. Hopefully, the more exposure they start to get in this area will help our cause. One of the biggest frustration is that a lot of landlords are not willing to consider this type of use. Another frustration we have is that Todd found out this week that the people that own the Plano store started their search in our territory. They were unable to find anything and eventually started working their way east. We know God is in control and has just the perfect spot in mind for us. Our Community group has been going through Tommy Nelson's, "A Life Well Lived" again. A constant theme throughout, is the we don't always get to find out the why, but if we trust that God is in control, we don't need to. God just is asking, "Do you trust Me?" It is not always easy to say yes, but He has been faithful to us during this time. He promises to provide for our needs and has been faithful to do that thus far. God gives us trials in our lives to bring us closer to Him. We have definitely seen this in our lives. Our faith has certainly and is still growing.

As for the job front.... we have had some good news this week. Jason Newman, a friend from church, works for Verizon and may have found a possible contract job for Todd. he is interviewing with the contract firm tomorrow. he also had 2 other calls this week. We just need something to tide us over until we get Bounce U up and running. My business has been doing great, but the farther along in this pregnancy we get, the more I will have to cut back in my work. Everything is still great there, and I have started to feel the baby moving around this week. It is kind of fun.

Sorry things haven't worked out with the business location. We will be praying for you guys to find the perfect place in the perfect time.

I can't believe you are feeling the baby already. I haven't felt anything yet.
