Dedicated to Jason...

Jason, Jason he's our man if he can't do it NO one can.

I can't think of a better statement to describe my husband. He can and will do anything he puts his mind to! I am dedicating this well deserved post to him. He is the hardest working person I've ever met. He is a general contractor and owns his own company Kessler Hatch, Inc. He's actually owned a few businesses in his short lifetime (all successful I might add). His success comes from his own hard work. He's not afraid to get down and dirty and learn everything he needs to know and teach himself. He never went to school officially to learn about his trade (and don't get me wrong, we both think school is important and a must) but he is a self taught man and honestly didn't have the patience for school. He knows how to build and fix anything. I am not lying when I tell you he knows everything about the entire process of building a house. He has his own crew that does most of the trades themselves. In fact, he's a little obsessed with business, economics, politics, history, stocks, and anything to do with learning or making money. As I'm sure most of you are aware... the construction industry is probably one of the worst industries to be in right now. The market is slow and people can't qualify for loans, etc. We have had a stressful year to say the least but I'm very proud to say, thanks to Jason, that we sold the homes we had available and we are going to make it! Jason is smart and my favorite quality is his honesty!! It's surprising how many business men are dishonest and justify their dishonesty because "it's business." Jason would screw himself before someone else and I know we have been blessed for his honest, hard work. Jason found all his buyers and made all the deals happen himself (he needs to be a real estate agent and mortgage officer too). He sold them for good deals and I'm so grateful for all that he sacrifices for our family. Unfortunately, one of the things he has sacrificed is his health. He had back surgery last year and has not felt well all year. Most people wouldn't know because he works through it but he officially can't anymore. He is going to get his back fused next week on Sept 18th. It's a big, scary surgery that I will go into more detail about later... we are both nervous but excited that one day he might be out of pain. Here are some pictures of the most recent homes he has built and sold...

Oh, he put all the yards in too...

This is his Mom's home. I LOVE the red!

Keep in mind, he started all of these 6,000 to 7,000 sq foot homes last fall and worked through the worst winter and is finishing their basements and done other jobs in the meantime. Anyone who has ever built a home or remodeled a home understands how long it takes. Jason is record fast (which would explain why I never see him). I can brag because he is my husband and I sacrifice too so that he can accomplish all he does.

Another little tidbit of info was they did arrest the guy who was breaking into all these homes and stealing but he is out on bail and roaming the neighborhood again. Hopefully we can get him behind bars one of these days and he better hope that Jason never catches him breaking into anything of ours again.

On a lighter note, this is Jason eating a prime rib dinner to celebrate the close of a home. It is his favorite and one of the only ways he copes with his stress is by enjoying a good prime rib.

I'm always up for a good dinner out that I don't have to cook!

Jason also loves fishing and rarely goes, so this weekend he took Baylee and Griffin and his 3 younger brothers out camping, hiking, and fishing. He prepared all the food himself including their tin foil dinners. I stayed home and enjoyed a relatively quiet weekend with Avaree and Weston. Jason was so thoughtful and even made me a yummy tin foil dinner to enjoy while they were gone. I just need to add... what man happily takes on raising 2 extra children? He sincerely treats them like they were his own and never complains about the extra stress or responsibility. I'm so grateful and feel so blessed. If you can't tell by now... I love my hubby!!
