Hallelujah!

Wow! I am so excited that I pulled off a high B+ in A&P II! Lord knows I really wanted that!

On the side lines, Andrew and I's business started yesterday-- Man we couldn't have asked for things to go any better! We have formed such a great partnership with Rob and Courtney and for that we are blessed.

So I got up yesterday morning at 6AM and got ready, was at Andrews by 7AM. We had to go to Raleigh first thing that morning because Andrew had a final to take at 9AM. So as he took his test I stayed in the truck and did secretary-like things =) No sooner that I got started, he was done..
So we leave Raleigh and head to Perry's Gun Shop so Andrew can pick out a glock (pistol) that my dad is buying him for graduation. We talk about getting night-sights put on//this//that//&& the other. Paid for. Done. He will not see or get until the graduation party at my house.

So from this point on our day was slam packed!! Wilson deliveries, Home deliveries, Red Oak deliveries and then our Nashville and RMT drop - off locations!
Nashville 4:45-5:15
Rocky Mount 5:30-6:00
We were so impressed how every one was there to pick up their produce on time and in a fashionable manner. We had to wait on NO ONE! We were at each of our locations on time and out in no time. What a praise!

In looking back I am just in awe that this vision of Andrews has now become a reality for us. I remember the night Andrew and I started discussing this. I never doubted him (as some folks did) and I stuck by him through all of our planning and many nights making sure things were going to be :just right: for us to make it or break it. So I started designing a brochure with Andrew by my side to "tweak" it. We then had PILES of these printed and distributed/broadcasted.
Andrew set a goal for this year and that was to have 50 customers (with this being our first year). End the end, we ended up with a total of 85 customers! We were both very excited and have enjoyed every minute of everyday.
We sure have had many of double dates through this, making sure things were lined up in accordance for our partners in this- Rob Glover and Courtney Barbour. Thank you so much Rob (our farmer) & Courtney (his amazing girlfriend)! We couldn't have made yesterday go perfect without the help of you guys!

So after a L O N G day yesterday it was nice to still be able to sit on the porch and enjoy watching the sunset while gazing at each other with a smile on our face knowing that a simple vision can be an utter reality!
