Greetings and\u00c2\u00a0Salutations\u00c2\u00a0Faithful Stapleton Blog Readers! \u00c2\u00a0I know it has been a long time since an update and there has been a huge gap in all of your lives. \u00c2\u00a0You may not of known what it was, but it was indeed the lack of a Stapleton Family Blog entry. \u00c2\u00a0So now I must take the time to put things right.<\/p>\n

Work is going well. \u00c2\u00a0My staff busted through their goal last year at 166% and just killed it! \u00c2\u00a0It was a long first year on the job and this next year looks even longer. \u00c2\u00a0If you have not kept up with Jess on facebook you might not realize that I’m married to the incredible shrinking wife. \u00c2\u00a0She is down 50+ pounds and still going! \u00c2\u00a0Her headaches and other family matters you will see below have kept her from working. \u00c2\u00a0We hope she will be able to start subbing next school year, this one was not meant to be.<\/p>\n

So in my traditional I’m behind fashion I will do my\u00c2\u00a0updates\u00c2\u00a0by month below. \u00c2\u00a0I hope that you all enjoy.<\/p>\n

June<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were happy and felt very blessed to get the house in WV sold<\/a> after just 54 days on the market. \u00c2\u00a0This month also began the drought in earnest. \u00c2\u00a0I have been living in Nebraska for a little over a year now and I still do not need 2 hands to count the times it has rained.<\/p>\n

July<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hotter than Hell and we had our 13th Anniversary.<\/a><\/p>\n

August<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hotter than Hell and we celebrated our birthdays. \u00c2\u00a0Rick and Debbie also came out and stayed with us over Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

September<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent most of the month working in FL, then making up all my other work when I got back. Jess went to visit Ricky in South Carolina at the end of the month and they made a trip home to WV to visit Nana.<\/p>\n

October<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life, the universe, and everything.<\/p>\n

November<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work as usual and for logistical reasons I sent Jess back to WV on her own for Thanksgiving while I held down the fort in NE. Jess spent some quality time in South Carolina with Ricky and Megan the week after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

December<\/strong><\/p>\n

We celebrated Baby Jesus’s birthday and we all went back to WV for about a week for the holidays. \u00c2\u00a0It was good to see everyone and it was my first time back in 8 months. We also got to see our first blizzard in NE.<\/p>\n
