OUCH! Those are my feelings your stomping on!
So Tuesday i believe this last week a REALLY nice lady came into the store to pay off her bill, only this day she had a bee in her bonet and it was me that got stung. See Kimberly had written on her bill "Watch closely, owes on previous bill", well just so happened the day before is when she saw that. It was wednesday that she decided to bring it up though. When she handed me the check to pay her previous bill off, she let me know how mad she was that we wrote that on her bill, that she has been here longer than us... I apologised, and told her why we did it, how it was just simply a note for US, there is one man that just paid off a 700 dollar bill today when he wasnt supposed to go over 200 because a new bill comes, and the store clerk forgets about the previous balance of 400 dollars before their new bill is at 350... and considering most of the people in the village have little to now income that is a HUGE mountian to climb. When she told me about how she had been here longer than us, i simply told her i understand that (well first off, i didnt tell her this but how long she has been here has NOTHING to do with it) but i told her Cynthia and Dale have been here longer than me and this is their store. Ultimately the bill was paid, she left, i havent hardly seen her since (once infact) and she didnt hardly say anything to me, If it was because she didnt feel good about how her or I handled it i dont know, but its over, my feelings were released from the vise they were pinched in and i am sleeping easy.
Today we celebrated my birthday (an excuse to open my gifts early). Amazing kimbelry bought me a new guess brand watch (my other one was demolished when it cought on a door latch). And some very cool slippers... they fit ALOT nicer than hers, hers ended at about mid heel on me which lead to pain after about 15 minutes, its nice to have my own, and im sure she appreciates hers back (haha).
Now to how AMAZING our bosses are! Dale came into town Thursday, He brought with im a bunch of toys and fresh produce for the store... not to mention some birthday gifts for me. Kimberly asked them to get some glove liners for me because i had lost one of mine... so they picked up some new glove liners and a cool thin insulated jacket... Kimberly cut them a check for those but out of their own pocket they got me a gift AND a birthday cake (which i must say is amazing). But the gift the got me is above and beyond! They got me BRAND new carhart insulated coveralls. they are amazing, ive had the same kind before and i worked the life out of them at SAIA, they ended up in the garbage can they were so torn up, i am SO excited for these though. It is so nice to have experiences like those... not just the gifts, but to have dale come in and not have anything bad to say about how we are running their store... it just feels so good.
Ive put some pictures of the dog race up, im still working on more currently there are 128 pictures with 5 uploading, so if you go and there are more pictures i have continued to work on it... but im exhausted, kimberly and i went for a walk tonight and i am beat.
thank you for reading the blog we love you all! I must say i am sorry once again for the long time inbetween blogs, i was about to write one on tuesday while my feelings were still in a vise but i ended up having to run down to the store to help kimberly and between the two guys in the bed an breakfast, dale, and the store, we have been uber busy this week.

Happy Happy birthday big guy !!! I can tell the morse family influence has already started to invade you...opening birthday presents 2 days before your birthday !!! Kim can verify that if terri had her way she would open her Christmas presents at thanksgiving or as soon as any showed up---thats how we got on the ole opening things Christmas eve deal--my side always had to wait till Christmas morning but when i married terri that all changed!!-I can totally relate to the hurt feelings deal-I am an expert at saying the wrong thing at the wrong time--and you may find this had to believe but..not everyone fully appreciates my sense of...ahem...humor. George and Greg had a really good sermon series a while back about relationships-one part that stuck with me was that conflict is normal and relationships arent messed up by conflict-they are messed up by unbiblical ways of dealing with conflict-hopefully your customer will see your sincerety for not wanting to offend her- maybe you will get another chance to express that to her--i KNOW yer not gonna believe this...but i tend to be just a leetle to proud and competitive...no really.... and so get hung up on right versus wrong and need to work on being more negotiable.....yup i am a driver not a thinker !!!! Yeee Haaa!!! shake and bake baby!!-well gotta go check out yer new pictures now- all our love and prayers, Dad.
