stand still

*sigh* Things are at a stand still for us. I have started a class at UNCC to finish up my teaching license and Michelle has gone back to work after her vacation. Everything has just kind of fallen to the wayside to make room for all of the birthdays, anniversaries, vacations and various other summer activities that make it hard to get ANYTHING done, let alone start a business. We have a great template for our business plan and so really we just need to get on it. We also need to create the survey to find out what the downtown business people are looking for. If you have any suggestions for questions, please feel free to comment them!

The past few weeks for me have been spent creating small memories for Aidyn - the neighborhood 4th of July parade, buying a fish, finding out the fish has an anchorworm, removal of the anchorworm, family coming to visit, snuggling with Ouidy (aka Louis), and various other shenanigans.

Just... hanging out, eating applejacks with a fork...Pearl, after the anchorworm removal:"How did I get here? Where are my pants? Is it raining?"

Today I am working on my Mom's 50th Birthday SURPRISE party (don't worry, she never reads this thing) and it's tonight. I just made the cake (well the actual cake is from Harris Teeter) and decorated it with fondant gerber daisies. I"ll try to remember to post more pics after the party. And, last thing, tomorrow Bryson and I are going white water rafting at the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte. I"ve been about 3 times now and I would recommend it to anyone who lives in the area and loves a little day adventure. Hope to have some pics from that too. Okay, that's all for now. Hopefully I"ll post again before the month is up...
