Colorado - Butter Braid Conference

Wow!! The beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains.

God is good isn't he!
The view is breath-taking (literally). If you don't believe me ask Sheila. Due to the thin air she and I found ourselves stopping to catch our breath quiet often.

We drove over the Loveland pass to get to our resort. One side was mountain and the other side was a cliff with a huge drop off. Adam, not being too fond of heights, held his breath most of the way up.

The 17 hour drive was exhausting on a 1 1/2 year old baby girl. Nana was gracious enough to share her pillow. These times were the most peaceful times of our ride. We stopped and spent the night on the way there and back so we didn't drive 17 hours straight. She really did very well considering the long drive. She never really cried. Toward the end of the day should would fuss about getting back into the car seat, but would calm down when we would get going again.

All - Star Fundraising had the fifth highest sales volume for the fall 2006 - spring 2007 season. I was very proud of our team and their accomplishments. Austin has put in a lot of hard work to build this business to what it is today. We started the fundraising business about five years ago. My sister Amanda and brother-in-law Tim were with us in the beginning until his football career took them else where. The first few years were busy. Things were tight for a while, but the business is really taking off now. Our sales grew almost 100% from last season to this season. Adam, Amber, and Sheila have done an awesome job this past year. Thanks guys for all the hard work! For those who don't know, about a year and a half ago my brother Adam and his wife Amber began working with us in the northeast Texas and north Louisianna area and Austin's mom, Sheila, started working with us in the Arkansas area. Austin is now concentraiting on north west Mississippi and the Memphis metro area. Bringing them on board has been rewarding for everyone involved. We won a $1,000 vacation package. We need to decide soon where we are going to go. We'll be sure to take lots of pictures and fill everyone in on the trip. We love you all.
