Hey Alicia - Sounds like you had a great year with lots of fun experiences.

Does Scott do contractor type work? If so, I may have someone he could connect with for good extra work. A friend of mine owns a company that contracts with banks to fix up their foreclosed homes so they are sellable. Just throwing that out there if it helps at all.

Glad to read you're all healthy, happy and doing well.
