Laser Quest Mesquite closed on January 14th, 2013. It was very sudden and we had no time to prepare ourselves for it. I was not sure what to do with myself considering I did not know anything other than being the General Manager of LQ. I felt bad for my management team and crew members. There was nothing I could say or do that could heal the pain of being laid off. I couldn't help but blame myself for not being able to bring the sales up enough to save it. It took me a long time before I could look positively at the situation and say maybe I was meant to do something else.
I went on a ton of job interviews, but just couldn't find the right fit. My husband and I sat down and talked about our situation for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that I should just become a Stay at Home Mom and just be there for Kaylee. We knew it would be tough without that extra income, but given how much attention Kaylee really needed we knew it would be the best move for her.

2012
I do not even know how to begin to explain how busy the year 2012 was.
I became General Manager of Laser Quest Mesquite and everything after that is pretty much a blur. I consumed myself in my new position and did everything I could to raise the downward spiral the center had become. I learned so much over the year about Marketing and Leadership. We had some really great times and made some lasting memories.
Kaylee made some great progress in 2012. The biggest change is we went from using Therapy 2000 to being apart of the ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) family. I think it was the best choice we could have made for Kaylee. She was getting more services and it was costing us less money. :) We had so many issues with using a Therapy Company because of our insurance wanting to fight having to cover any of it and limiting how many times they will cover the therapists seeing her each month. ECI is an amazing program and I would recommend all parents with "special needs" children to apply. Kaylee began to start cooperating more with the therapists, which overall helped with her making great progress. Over the year Kaylee started taking more food by mouth, improving her motor skills, and CRAWLING. :) I was one very proud mommy!
