Please allow me to brag

Well, please allow me to brag on my husband for a minute.
{I almost did a post about this a while back but couldn't do it without using a slew of cuss words so I just decided against the whole thing all together.}

Lee had worked at a YMCA for ~8 years up until this past February.
He started at the bottom and worked his way all the way up to the associate exec position.
He did not get the exec position when it opened up last fall.
{previously I would have inserted cuss words here because of course I thought he should have gotten that position}
Then he was let go in February when the new management decided "to go in a new direction".

{more cuss words inserted here at the injustice that was done}
OK now back up about 3 years.
Lee and his friend Trey sat downstairs in our living room brainstorming on starting a business.
They talked about crazy stuff like opening a store, selling stuff, and cleaning stuff.
I remember sitting upstairs scrapbooking, overhearing them, and rolling my eyes.
Now come back to present day and the result of that brainstorming session is this: Sentinel Cleaning.

They have been in business for 3 years, clean restaurants all over Alabama and into Tennessee & Georgia, have several employees who work for them, and now there are restaurants we can no longer eat at because my husband knows how dirty they are!
{thankfully most Mexican restaurants aren't too bad-what a relief!}
What a blessing it was for Lee to be able to jump full time into this job when he lost his job at the Y.
I just got mad about it.
Lee saw it as God giving him that push that he needed to make the move to Sentinel full time rather than staying comfortably at the Y where the check was guaranteed every 2 weeks.

So not only is he an excellent yard boy, but also he is quite the entrepreneur!
And I am proud of him.
