Here is the Christmas letter Chad did this year for those of you who didn't get one in the mail.
Happy Holidays to All,
This has been a remarkable year for the Belnaps and Pure Flooring. We have had some great things happen for us. First and foremost, we have a beautiful little girl – Brenna. Secondly we hired our first employee and he is doing great things to help our business grow.
My wife endured well her pregnancy with our new addition. This pregnancy was a rough one for her. She was really sick for most of the beginning, put on bed rest for much of the latter part and then, as most women, was really uncomfortable at the end. This was her hardest pregnancy and so I am grateful to her for all that she did while it was going on. It is hard for me, as a man, to understand the displeasures of pregnancy, but I can tell you that I don’t want her to ever have to do that again. So we will be complete with four amazing children.
My children are doing wonderful. My oldest, Russell, is almost 11 yrs old and continues to do well in school. He has been really blessed with great teachers to help him improve in his abilities. He continues to read at an elevated level and he really enjoys it. He is currently loving video games – don’t worry we monitor the amount. He wants to attempt to play any musical instrument that he can including the drums, violin, guitar, and piano. He and I played a lot of paint ball at the beginning of the year, but after I broke my leg, we haven’t been able to play. Janey, my 7 year old daughter is still as sweet as can be. She loves to be a part of a music program called “Let’s Play Music.” She gets to go to a class weekly to learn music. She is doing great in school and loves to play with friends and neighbors. Parker is 4 years old and is a sport maniac. He wants to go outside at every opportunity to play basketball, football, soccer, ride scooters, and bicycles, anything to get out of the house and be active. He “graduated” from his preschool class this year too. He also enjoys having his older sister read to him. Brenna is now six weeks old and is starting to smile back at us and look around and be more “awake” when she is awake. She is a sweet and good baby for us. We think that it is because she gave Trisha so much grief during the pregnancy. I cannot tell you why she is so good, but I know that she really is and we are so grateful.
My big news for the year was that I broke my leg in June. I had to have surgery to repair the bones. I had to get a plate and 8 screws on the tibia bone and 2 screws on the fibula bone. I became utterly worthless for six or seven weeks. I have recovered to about 90% but still can’t jump or run, but I didn't do much of that before so it’s OK. When I broke my leg, I was actually able to hire Brett Anderson. He has worked with me before and knew our systems and expectations. He has been with us for 6 months now and is doing great. He has a great work ethic, quick to learn and we have a lot of fun working together.
We are still doing great in the business. We are actually going to be expanding into water damage restoration this next year as well as carpet cleaning. This next year we are going to be doing more advertising via email, so if you want to get some great specials - sign up, just go to our website at pureflooring.com and enter your email address. I respect privacy and will keep all emails secure.
We wish everybody a happy and safe holiday season. There is much to be grateful for and we want you to know that we are grateful for you and all you have done for our family and business.
Here is my shameful plug. We would love to help clean your carpets, furniture, or tile for Christmas. We have been busy and are excited to help in any way we can.
