Greetings & Salutations faithful Stapleton Blog Readers.
Let’s see it has been a while since a good update so here goes. Since my last update I have been to Gulfport, Mississippi for a Mission trip and been working like a dog! (Not a dog life like Petey lives, I am talking a work dog like a Sheppard Dog or something, maybe that’s why things have to be in order so much? But I digress.) I was buried before I left on vacation and came back to only 100 or so emails which wasn’t bad but it took my 3 days just to figure out what needed to be done. Like I have said before my job is great it just keeps me busy. I learned the other day that I will end up with 9 customers which range in geography from Marietta, OH to Elkins WV to Peterstown, WV. I know people look at the number 9 like it is small but I am basically a Customer Service & Project Manager to these Banks as well as a consultant of sorts. With 9 banks so far spread out and an average of a 20 day working month that means I spend almost half my month on the road behind a windshield and that number doesn’t included other special trips out to the banks besides my monthly calls, which can be frequent. So I am going to try to be as efficient as possible in order to keep up.
Jess has been pretty busy too she has been trying to fit in her business travel around mine and it has not been easy I have been out 3 ½ of the last 6 weeks. The other day she celebrated her third year at Autism Services Center. She is doing awesome in her job and she gets to help others everyday which she loves. Jess & I have some pretty exciting things on the horizon. Starting the week of July 10th Jess & I are back house hunting I am hoping that we can find something that we like and that the real estate committee I mean Jessica will like. I really don’t want to move any further than Barboursville, my drive is subsidized and we would have to pay for Jess to drive into to work so something like a Teays Valley location is out as far as I am concerned. We are also going to our first Communication Team meeting tomorrow for our 40 Days of Community campaign that our church is going to have this fall. This is addition to what we normally do for Church and Work we are looking at being very busy way into the fall. Our lives are tiring but rewarding so I guess we shouldn’t complain, but man we are tired. Well everyone take care, that’s the news and I am outta here.
