Happy Birthday Boomtown Vision!
10 years, T-E-N, a whole decade!
I may have shed a tear when I went back to find the pictures from our opening day. I don’t ever want to lose the hope for the future I had that day. Ten years later and I’m glad that past Sarah wasn’t scared of anything. It never crossed my mind that opening a small business with a 2.5 month old newborn was a little (a lot) crazy.
I am so thankful for:
My staff that continually deal with things you can’t even imagine yet they still show up every day to help me live out my dream. I love each of you who have been a part of the Boomtown Vision family along the way.
My patients, my practice would not have made it a decade if every single one of you did not walk through the doors time and time again. I am humbled every time someone tells me they were referred by a friend or family member. No matter if you have been with me one day or 10 years (or longer if I first saw you in WF) I aim to always do my best to care for your vision and eye health. I can’t thank you enough for putting your trust in me.
My friends and family who never stop supporting me. They listen to me laugh, cry, worry, complain and a million other things. If you have ever delivered something to my parents house or been in line with my mom at the grocery store she has no doubt told you I am her daughter and you should come get an eye exam.
My husband and son who have sacrificed the most for me to be successful. Their unwavering love and support continue to push me to make sure they are proud to call me theirs. I love you both more than words.
God, who without his constant grace and mercy nothing would be possible.
Many more deserve thanks as well and I am sure I am forgetting at least a few. Burkburnett with all it’s charm and supportive residents, my mentors, the other small businesses I am lucky to do business with and anyone else who has had a hand in helping me or the business all of these years.
Ten years ago I never could have imagined how hard running a small business would be. But despite a newborn, a pandemic, taxes…. oh so many taxes, zero increase over 10 years from many insurance reimbursements, increased costs of well… everything, I am older and a little more realistic nowadays but I am still here! I love my profession and can’t imagine ever doing anything else. I hope I get to do this for many more decades to come. I pray to never stop learning and to try to always push myself to be a little better than I was the day before. I am proud of the person and doctor I have grown into over the last ten years and I think the Sarah from 10 years ago would be too.
