October!

Where has the time gone? I swear ... it didn't seem like that long ago we were just beginning September. And now ... it is officially fall. Well it may be fall according to the calendar, but here, it is absolutely PERFECT! The temps are fantastic and it is just gorgeous outside. Started off the first day of October off right with a little homemade apple crisp. Use your resources people ... I had some apples that needed to be eaten (does it matter that they had been sitting on my counter all lonely because my apple caramel dip was gone?) We were able to have some nice warm apple crisp for dessert last night. Too bad I didn't have any vanilla ice-cream. It would have been perfect! Things are progressing quite rapidly around here in the business sense. We're waiting for the final word on the status of the route - we are saying our prayers that the credit union qualifies one of the applicants by the weekend! If all goes as planned the route could be sold and outta here within three weeks! We have already met some amazing people in the business that share the same vision of providing a safe and fun place for people to skate, while maintaining the level of culture and respect often neglected with skateboarding. I know .. I sound like I could've been a skater back in the day, right? When in Rome, I guess ... at any rate ... our connections and introductions seem to be doubling every day, and it is so exciting to hear how supportive and excited everyone is about the idea. It's hard for Bryan to focus on getting up for his "real job" every morning ... he's so ready to dive in with the skatepark and give it 150% right now. :) Soon!!! Cam brought home his Honor Roll certifcate, and he was thrilled. His teacher gave everyone that made Honor Roll "the HUGEST sugar cookies ever ... AND we got to eat them at recess!" Seriously ... does it get any better? We've got a great weekend planned to meet up with some friends, watch some football and truly enjoy the weather we have been waiting all summer for!
