The Fitts Era 2000-2007
In 1999 we moved to our current location, doubled our space, brought along Winnie Brumsickle’s business Advantage, Jennifer Rigg’s business Pacific Design, Jennifer Zaehring and Jesse Douglas Seitz. We were too busy growing our business and familes to take many pictures but we did enjoy lighting up the sky at Christmas. My boys Carson and Connor hung out there part time, sometimes napping in the bathtub. Alice Shull joined the team as graphic designer and our bulletin boards got even better. Jeff started building his home and worked as a youth pastor. He did part-to full time work for us depending on the other jobs. During this time he finished his home before welcoming Emily, Ethan and Sierra. During these years we employed various students, part time and some moms with kids in school including Nancy, Andrew and Matt Downsworth, Chris and Evan Michael, Julie Ross, Kathy Youngbuck, Kathy Eisenhauer, Johannes and Luis Paul, Josh Miller and Jonathan Reedy. In 2004-2008 he left us to teach Junior High at Paideia Classical School but came back after-school and summers to allow me precious time with my boys.
