We need your support!!!

Hi friends and readers!

As many of you know from previous posts (or actually talking with me!:) my husband started his own business called Adrenaline X Mobile Laser Tag.  He purchased some very fancy (and very expensive) Tippmann Laser Tag guns and some commercial grade bunkers and set out on a mission to bring entertainment to the Cedar Valley.  He started mainly by word of mouth advertising to friends and family and did a few trial parties and has realized this really is his dream - to help people have fun, be active and work together.  And it's actually working!! He's booked 6 or 7 parties just since the beginning of March.  It's not just us that think it's great - so does everyone else!!  This great demand has made us realize that we need more - more guns, more bunkers , a trailer, and part time help -- and all of this means more $$.

Which leads me to YOU (and no I'm not asking you for money!!HA).  We recently applied for a grant through Dream Big Grow Here which is put on by the Cedar Valley Chamber to offer a big sum of money to a local small business in our area.  They are going to decide who wins the grant by opening it up to voting - anyone, anywhere can vote once per DAY from April 15 - April 30.  So I'm here asking for your support - for your vote - for your daily vote (if you can remember- and if you can't I'll email you daily! and probably remind you here daily too!).

And let me explain to you why I'm here - basically begging you --
Watching the excitement and passion in my husband's eyes when he is hosting an event is so emotional.  Seeing him enjoying what he's doing is priceless.  Helping him help others to get up, get moving, working together and having fun is amazing - it's us together.  Every part of it is a gift from God.  And seeing him miss out on family things because he has to d.r.a.g. himself to another day at his current full time job is heartbreaking.  Watching him try his best to put on a smile every.single. Tuesday-Friday and tell our boys goodnight at 3 in the afternoon just so he can go spend 10 hours moving boxes around a warehouse is awful.  I know that in my heart of hearts that God has something bigger than "warehouse worker" in his future.  And maybe it's this grant that will jump start that future.
