Nineteen years. October 16th, 2007 to today.
Looking back across two decades, we have officially evolved from the early days of scraping by to the current days of... well, still scraping by. The tools might be a little nicer now, but the hustle has not changed a bit.
Many of those nineteen years were rough. But if we are being completely honest, nothing compares to the sheer weight and pain of these last two years. Losing family members over this past stretch knocked the wind out of us in ways that made us question everything. There were real moments where we seriously considered closing it all down, locking the doors, and walking away. It tested every limit we had and forced us to see life, and the people in it, through a much clearer lens.
Time has a way of revealing who people truly are.
There are those we completely misjudged, the ones we trusted without question and believed would always be standing beside us, who are completely gone. To those of low moral character who showed their true colors along the way, good riddance. We are perfectly fine being the villain in the stories you tell, if that is the price for the gift of your absence. Yet even those painful situations taught us valuable lessons about strength, boundaries, and self-reliance.
Then there were those who were only with us for a season. While they did not stay forever, we truly appreciated them and the honest contributions they made while they were here.
And then there are the real blessings, the ones we initially thought might just be a temporary flash in the pan, a brief footnote in our story. Yet, to this day, they are the ones who stayed. They proved to be the most loyal, steady, and genuine friends to us and to this business.
At the end of the day, yes, we care about our work. Yes, we care deeply about our customers. But above everything else, we care about people. We have never seen human beings as a commodity to be used, and we never will.
Only through God's grace, family, amazing friends, and great trades and customers are we still here today.
To everyone who truly supported us, carried a piece of the load when we were heavy, stayed in our corner, or showed up when it mattered most over these nineteen years: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the reason we made it through the dark, and we are forever grateful for you.
We are still standing, and we do not take a single one of you for granted.
