Happy Anniversary Vernal Enterprise

Exactly one year ago today, Vernal Enterprise was born.
A brave new Branch Manager drove 156 miles away from his 7 month pregnant wife with nothing but 10 vehicles in his fleet and the name of an oil rigger he could rent a room from.
Today he maintains a fleet of nearly 70, and works his tush off to support his family who happily live WITH him fulltime.
He has spent countless hours cleaning each vehicle by hand,

marketing,

and dealing with some outright crazy customers.

In the entire year, Brian has only been sick ONE day

- but still spent that day at the office, hiding miserably under a blanket when customers weren't there.

Congratulations, Enterprise-Rent-A-Car in Vernal! Here's to another year of success (though not necessarily with us being here :)

Sam and Melissa said...: Hey Chelsea! I hope you got my e-mail and phone call, I have been trying to reach you (I kinda sound like a stalker, huh) But anyways, I have no room to talk as I am horrible at staying in contact but I am so excited to talk to you again! Maybe one when you are in Provo we can meet up and go running or something. Your little girl is so stinking cute. Well I NEVER expected you to be in a place like Vernal, I hope you are liking it! Anyways, have a good day, just wanted to say hi! Melissa; December 3, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Amanda said...: Oh vernal...Dave's company is considering a branch out there, but as of now we won't be the ones to move out there. I am so glad that Brian's branch has been such a success! I heard they approved use of that oil out there, if that happens than I am sure a lot more people will be needing cars!; December 3, 2008 at 4:59 PM

Ashley said...: Congrats to you guys for doing so well, Brian is so awesome. I have been so impressed with his commitment to his job and to everything. He really works hard to provide and he also seems to really love what he is doing. That is great. I love that he was only sick 1 day of the year and I love that he enjoys talking about his work. I also love the picture of him sick hiding in the back, that shows some dedication.; December 6, 2008 at 9:59 AM

Quotes I want to remember

"The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain."
- Neal A. Maxwell

"It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men's theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother's influence."
-Ezra Taft Benson

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. And bear your testimony! Don’t just assume your children will somehow get the drift of your beliefs on their own.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities. We cannot be casual in how we prepare them. Our challenge as parents and teachers is not to create a spiritual core in their souls but rather to fan the flame of their spiritual core already aglow with the fire of their premortal faith."
-Neil L. Andersen

"Certainly there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our efforts."
-Neil L. Andersen

President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven . . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.’ ”
-Susan W. Tanner

"Children are like trees. When they are young, their lives can be shaped and directed, usually with ever so little effort. Said the writer of Proverbs, 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it' (22:6). That training finds its roots in the home. There will be little of help from other sources. Do not depend on government to help in this darkening situation. Barbara Bush, wife of former U.S. president George Bush, spoke wisely: 'Your success as a family, our success as society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.' "
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
-Henry B. Eyring

“Reverent behavior is not a natural tendency for most children. It is a quality that is taught by parents and leaders through example and training. But remember, if reverence is rooted in love, so is the teaching of it. Harshness in our training begets resentment, not reverence.”
-Margaret S. Lifferth

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
- M. Russell Ballard

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’?”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things.”
-Kent D. Watson
