Centerville trip

From what I hear, Levi was quite the squeegee/vacuum helper!!

check out that awesome yellow booted man on that amazingly sharp INDOT floor!!

yes, Will has craaazy hair. and who are these two handsome teenaged men??

I thought I got a pic of David, Levi and Uncle John (in the blue overalls) but apparently it didn't turn out so this will have to do.

Just a glimpse of our recent trip to Centerville, IN, which is on the eastern side of the state, near Richmond (which is where we stayed at a Hampton Inn).

David's Hybrid floor looks quite awesome in this brand new facility. I will blog more about this later...surely....but I have a lot of catching up to do.....

Happy Thursday to you!

so much catching up to do

Young Ideas shared boothspace with the IMI (Int'l Masonry Institute)...we thought that maybe it was the busiest booth but when it was announced at the end of the show, it was nice confirmation. David and Juan are superb salesmen.

David even ran into his former employer.

this is Richard. he was kinda scary but I'm sure completely harmless.

David and part of his amazing network of coolios. I like how the two guys have their hands on their hips. Becky (in pink, haha) and Juan. Two of the most awesome folks you'll ever wanna meet.

Before these memories get away from me, I wanted to get them posted. David's patent company took part in a local tradeshow. He met lots of architects, spec writers and others in the "industry".

Honestly, a lot of changes and great things are on the horizon. We are really excited and praising the Lord for all the storms and joys He takes us thru. I have so many thoughts roiling around in my noggin and not a clue how to get any of it out, making sense.

so honored to be alongside David on this roller coaster ride of life. so thankful that he has some fellow Christians to support him in the workforce. I stand amazed.

this post is just not doing any of the things taking place any justice at all. mush head.

Bread and Butter, Baby

cute guy...making floors shine...Shine, make 'em wonder what ya got....love that song...so fitting for his occupation!

pix 1-3 : Wiley Dining Hall at Purdue Univ. W. Lafayette, IN

NCAA Hall of Champions in downtown Indy...David is on the right hand side of the pic, talking on the phone. probably to me, telling me to spank his kids. a lot.

Pipe Creek Rest area...north of Muncie, IN...

As always, my shutterbug bro took these amazing photos. danka Tommy.

These are floors. uh duh, Laurie, I think they can tell what they are....

These are floors that my husband and his crew work their magic on...vitrification....woo woo. maybe I'll blog about that process one of these days..I seem to know a bit more about it now...

These are floors that bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. (though we don't eat actual bacon, being Old Testament Jews)...

I'm honored to have a husband that is so dedicated to his profession (all the way around, folks) and is good at what he does, on every level. His love for Jesus Christ is even more of a dedication..it permeates all that he does!

David is awesome. His intensity and drive make me tired. I guess it's true what "they" say...opposites attract. Today, David, I praise God for you...and thank Him that you not only pulled "it" all together for your big INDOT presentation, but that it was a success...Thank you to the folks behind the scenes, for your help and commitment...it will be your bread and butter too! lots of work for Indiana Dept. of Transportation!

I will get back on here, hopefully, with some more updates, but quite honestly, being up till 5:30 am yesterday to get 36 folders ready for said presentation has taken a bit of a toll on this ol' gal. I don't bounce back as quickly as I used to, which is still a lot quicker than some of ya! ha ha. I joke.

Until then, David, I love you...even thru all the stress and trials of the day, you are a source of strength and peace in a rocky world. You Rock, sir.
