Just a few more steps down memory lane...


Our Grand Opening. The result of countless hours of prayer, preparation, sweat and hard work. (Try unloading 10,000 pounds of steel weight off the back end of an eighteen wheeler that doesn't have a lift gate.)


We were: thrilled, excited, elated, terrified, exhausted, and so HAPPY!!

As a side note, most of our original work crew is pictured here. Including Sean Dugan, who somehow ended up with the gigantic scissors to cut the ribbon. Never quite understood how he ended up with that job, but oh well! Nice job Dugan!



















There are lots more pictures of us hanging out at the store. This was actually my favorite time, when all four of us worked the business together. Nothing like family in a family business. We had fun, got on each other's nerves, bickered a little bit, but always worked together. I think my kids learned alot about people, business, money and the rewards of hard labor and prayer.
