OK, so it's been a while. Things have been really good on our end. Busy, but good. Work is going well. The stores have been doing pretty good this year, which is awesome. It pumps Nick and I up for when we have our own store in the spring, God willing.

Summer really is flying by, or so it seems. We've only been to the beach once so far this year. It's so difficult to spend our days off at the beach when there is so much we want to do here at the house. We are finishing the deck tomorrow if the rain holds out for most of the day. Today we built our pen for the chickens we will be getting in a few short weeks. We are getting twelve meat birds. They will only be "partial" pets for three months. Then, the remainder of our relationship with them will be there presence on our plates and in our bellies! I'm a little concerned as to weather or not I will become attached to them, and dread the day when its time to take them to the farmer to face their bleak fate! However, I'm excited about hormone and antibiotic free chicken in our freezer! I think next year I want to try to raise a pig!

Anywho, that's enough about my crazy life for now!
