Hello friends, this is Brett Passmore.

For some, it has been a long time since we talked, and I apologize for that. I truly hope you are doing well. I will do my best to be in touch on a more consistent basis.

Our family had quite the holiday break. If you ever want to get to know your family and yourself, take an RV trip. We just travelled to Ohio and back to visit family, a few museums, and to see some sights. Boy did we. As you know, living together can be difficult at times, but living together in a rolling 288 sq foot coach with one bathroom can be brutal. All kidding aside, it was one of the best trips we have ever had the opportunity to take together.

Kirsten is now 8 years old. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing her home from Vietnam. That was 7 years ago. That is one of the reasons we took the trip. We want to cherish this time we have with her because she is growing up so fast. She is so creative, and so thoughtful. I am amazed at how much of Amy I see in her every day. I am blessed. She acts so much like us that you cannot tell that she was adopted. (Except for the fact that she is Vietnamese!)

My reason for telling that story is this: Take the time to slow down and spend time with your family. All too often we get so busy with life that we let life pass us by. We only have one shot at this. Take time and invest it in your family. You have no idea what a difference you can make in their life, or the difference in your own.

We have all been shocked and terrified by the images we have seen from the tragedy in Haiti. As much as want to, we cannot begin to understand the size of the disaster that they are living in. It honestly looks like a dystopian movie. Lots of people wonder “What can I do?” well, the American Red Cross has made a way to help. Using your cell phone, you can contribute quickly and easily. You can text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti. Please do it today.

One last thing, if your business needs IT services (PC, Server, Desktop, Networking, Website, or other) please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to be a resource for you or your friend’s organization that needs technology assistance. We offer a generous referral plan as well, so please don’t hesitate if you know of a company that could use our assistance.

Thanks for taking the time to read this short message, and please, if you have time, reply back to me. I would love to hear from you.

God Bless,

Brett Passmore
