doggie day care
ever since mike and i met, he's said he would like to quit work and run a doggie day care. i figured this would be in 5 or so years so i didn't think too much about it. well this year he has really been serious about making this happen. i was a bit concerned about quitting my job thinking "could we support ourselves on a doggie day care salary?" with a sheepish grin, mike gently informed me that my income wasn't really contributing to the household, meaning that he was already supporting me.
so we talked about it, looked at other doggie day care websites, watched a video and actually drove around the area looking for possible places. we even enlisted our neighbor who is a realtor.
well our realtor found a business + property for sale and i found a business for sale. we've spend the past month weighing the pros and cons of each which was difficult since it seemed to be like comparing apples and oranges.
i won't go into the details about each one and all since it's a long laundry list. i'll just tell you that we did come to a decision and put in an offer for the business + property. so long story short, in a few months we could be business owners. as things materialize, i'll post pictures and plans for general consumption.

and the winner is...
we (i) decided to go with the farm. it just offers a lot more fun stuff. i also feel that it is much more personal to both of us with our family farm histories. and tell me that a country farm/hoedown wedding isn't gonna be a hoot! think carmel apples, corn maze, autumnal, hot dish and bars kind of event. so keep friday october 3 open!Wednesday, February 27, 2008
wedding update
this space is only $300 but only holds 100. you do get 2 smaller rooms along with the school cafeternasuim space (nice stage), bathrooms and a kitchen. there's a bit of lawn too. it shares space with a library so the public uses the same front door to get to the library upstairs, but only from 8-noon. kinda cute bit since i work at a library and my former library boss hooked us up. it has much more availability than the farm so we could go back to a saturday wedding. another plus, since it's cheaper, we can splurge in other areas. downside, fewer people can fit. it's not as close to the house as the barn, but still within an easy distance.
i think the country farm theme would work here as well just not as hoedown-y as with the barn. maybe this could be more of a eastern seaboard theme only neither of us have been to the eastern seaboard. don't worry, i have no shortages of theme ideas.
