“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

- A.A. Milne

It’s amazing to me how quickly everything can change. My family and I moved to my home town almost a year ago, and it’s mind-blowing to realize how fast the year has already flown by. I haven’t even finished hanging our family photos and yet, I look at photos of Jonah when we’d first moved in and they seem like baby pictures already.

Sure enough, just as things were starting to feel “settled”, things are changing again. :) This week, Tod and I found ourselves in the (earliest) planning and exploring stages of renting a small retail shop here in Eaton Rapids. We got to check out a cozy little shop (it’s a block from our apartment!)on Friday, and it’s been a long-weekend of crunching numbers and writing notes and doing lots and lots of research.

This is something we’ve dreamed of for years, and it could be a big game changer for us. It’s too early to get excited about anything just yet (not that I can stop myself…), but I expect I will have more information and more share more details very soon.
