HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!

WE ARE 2 YEARS OLD TODAY!!! (some days it feels like we should be 22 years old - then others it feels like it was just yesterday we opened our doors!)

I was reminiscing this morning while getting ready for work....the feeling of excitement and anticipation of that FIRST morning we opened!! It was raining and I was running LATE!! Of all mornings!! The kids wouldn't cooperate - so I dropped them off at the sitter CRYING with NO breakfast!! Thank God for Kelli (the BEST babysitter EvA!!)........as I drove pass the store I saw there were people SITTING OUTSIDE IN THEIR LAWN CHAIRS!!! They were drinking their coffee IN THE RAIN and waiting on US!!! I was OVERJOYED!!! (thank you so much to those CRAZY wild women.....Bonnie, Amy, Jackie, LouAnn, and your "clan" - you really made our morning spectacular!)...oh - i just had the memory of you girls ROLLLLLING on the floor on the paper!! :) I WISH i still had those photos - my hard drive lost them all!! :(

And to all of those women that crowded the store the WHOLE day!! It was AWESOME!!!! I remember Krusty was here with Liz - she bought the PINK rolling tote......all the while looking out the window - afraid her scrubby would drive by and see her van parked outside!!! ....."he works right down the street"...she said - i hope that he doesn't see me here ALL THE TIME!! ..... little did we ALL know that she'd be here ALL THE TIME!! :)

I can remember when Renee would come in with Lauren (her daughter).....she would walk in - NO SMILE on her face......go straight to where she was wanting to go - as fast as her little legs would take her......"do you need any help" - we would say.....NO - i know what i need!! AND BOY DID SHE!! She was a no nonsense cropper and shopper - in and out - there was NO time for chit chat with that girl!! Ahhhhhh, little did we know she COULD chit chat!!! 2 years later we now have a friendship with these girls that will last a lifetime!

Ohhhh, the friends and the friendships that have began from opening this DREAM of ours- is remarkable!!! I have sooooo many things to be thankful for..........through all the tough times and the great times - i am .... WE are so happy and thankful and blessed to be a part of YOUR lives and to have YOU as a part of OURS!! Thank you soooo much for your support and encouragement - we are FOREVER grateful to you!!!!

This morning we were SURPRISED with this GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers from our great friends in Larned!! They have a wonderful scrapbook/coffee shop/cafe there and we are SOOOOO thankful to them for their friendship!! Thank you Thank you Tayleene and Mark, for remembering us!! :)
