Noel celebrating family.
Noel shared that he leaned on his circle more than ever this year. He’s grateful for the friends and family who keep him grounded, and for the dedication and leadership his boys bring to Ablesoft.
A successful soccer season coached by Eric.
Eric talked about how thankful he is for the people around him, both at work and at home. He loves being part of a team that keeps pushing boundaries with our customers and a family that turns every day into an adventure. He’s also still smiling about his son’s undefeated first soccer season… even if the snacks might’ve been the real MVP.
Brian’s year was full of movement. He’s grateful that he had the chance to travel and explore seven different cities, gathering new ideas and fresh perspectives along the way.
Brian took 2025 to travel.
Edgar was grateful he could escape to Chicago frequently and explore the benefits of a big city without the cost of living there.

As for me, Lisa, it all comes back to my husband and our boys. I’m thankful I get to watch them grow and see the world the way they do. Their perspective has a way of pulling me back to what matters most.

As the year winds down, our team at Ablesoft took a moment to share what we’re grateful for, both big things, small things, and everything in between. At a small family-owned company, these moments matter. They shape how we show up for our customers and for each other.

Ben kept his gratitude simple but meaningful. He’s thankful for healthy little ones at home and for the parks in their Oregon community. If you know Ben, you know that time outside with his family is his reset button.
Andrew had a milestone year. He’s thankful for the new home he bought in Phoenix, a place with a pool, some stability, and no more wondering where he’ll end up next. He’s also grateful to live so close to South Mountain, one of the best hiking and biking spots in the valley.

Michelle is soaking in a sweet season of life. She’s thankful for the joy and the tiny, meaningful moments that come with her family growing.
Alan shared he’s grateful to work for a caring, family-oriented company that supports him through the ups and downs of growing his own family. It was a reminder that the culture we build together matters, inside the office and well beyond it.
Michelle added new members to her family.
When we put all our gratitude together, it’s a reminder of why we do what we do. Yes, we build software. But behind every line of code are people who care deeply about their families, their communities, and the work they show up for every day. That’s what we carry with us into the new year.
