Hey there. It's Halloween night, and hopefully the trick or treaters are done knocking.
It's been a busy month...again.
Nils went to Dallas for a day-ish to meet with this guy, who's a plumber/YouTuber/podcaster and join him in his content. He does well for himself, in different ways than we operate, so it's always good to learn form others.
Ava with her newest second cousin, li'l Hayes. What cuties!
Nils, Doug and Dave have been working on a wall printing business for what feels like forever. Has it been a year? I don't know. But, the WallPen printer arrived from Germany last week and it's the real deal. They've been doing lots of testing, and had 3 guys come from WallPen this week to train them. Hopes are high that this turns into some great opportunities!
Nils attended VidSummit in Dallas at the beginning of the month. I stayed home since it was back to back with Funnel Hacking Live. I was sad to miss VidSummit. There are always so many people to talk to and learn from there. Next year I'll go!
Ava finished another tennis season. It's too bad we have such limited windows for tennis because of the weather. She likes it a lot.
Just Addie being a model. What's new?
Some friends in the neighborhood invited us to a fabulous Salem Witch Hunt dinner and game night. They really go all out. There was a gallows and a witness stand, and they basically transform their home for this. I need to up my game and get myself a pilgrim costume.
Aani got an answer to Sadies. She's going with a boy she actually likes.
Ava had her first of many band concerts for the year. We're always impressed with how good these middle school kids sound. Thankful for the good music teachers we have at our schools!
Cute friends
We closed on the rental house. We bought a washer and dryer and a fridge. Exciting times.
After we signed all the closing papers, we got nachos. They were pretty good, but a little disappointing for me since they forgot to put refried beans and jalapeños on them. I really have a thing for refried beans and jalapeños and nachos. Anyway... after we closed on that house, we were kinda like, "why did that feel like buying tires?" We know we're playing the long game here. Also- we have renters moving in on Friday of this week, so that's pretty weird and exciting. We're spending much of this week getting blinds installed, soft-close hardware installed, etc. etc.
Home Depot opened a few weeks ago, and Nils has only been there 78 times.
We went to St. George at the beginning of the month so that Nils could run the St. George half marathon with Scott Soward, our neighbor and friend from our old house. We got a house with the Sowards for the weekend and had lots of fun.
We were able to catch the St. George temple open house, and that was pretty cool.
Nils and Scott did great on the half! We picked Nils up from the St. George airport about 12 hours before the race started- he had been at VidSummit all week and we met him in St. George. What a crazy guy.
We committed to the ClickFunnels program a couple of weeks ago, which basically means we paid money to learn the software and implement it into our business. It's just a whole thing and has the potential to help us diversify our income a lot. It just seems like quite a learning curve at the moment and I feel a li'l overwhelmed by it. So, I'll say it here: In a year, my goal is to have ClickFunnels be very familiar and working well for us, and to look back and wonder why we didn't do it sooner. Amen.
I'm pretty sure all of our kids are super sick of me talking about ClickFunnels! But it is exciting! :)
