New Years Eve!

Well, It is New Years Eve! Another year has blown by so fast it almost feels unreal! Business continues to grow, things change and the guy looking back at me in the mirror, well he still looks the same but moves slower.. lol
This year has seen several life changers slip in under the radar, the biggest one was watching my oldest daughter graduate high school and start her higher education life, along with that comes the big move in with roomies and the nest getting a little less crowded. I still even after 6 or more years have not fully gotten past my son moving out and now another one? Holy cow! It feels a little like having your heart pulled out thru your chest I think! Bittersweet as it may be, I know they have to grow and learn and make their own way in the world but I don't have to fully like it do I? Seriously, I a, so proud of her and being able to make that leap with confidence, my little girl is so grown up but you know what, I still see her as if she was 9 in my eyes, same goes for my son who is 28 lol but don't tell them that :)
Market Common has seen some changes over this past year, new buildings popping up, more people buying and moving into the area, new business ventures starting up..... the world goes on.
Christmas here was warm, go figure! It's either a warm sunny Christmas or a warm wet Christmas most years here come on Santa, drop us some snow nest time!
We have added some new services to the shop, Full Color Copies and Black and White Copies, We still do Large Format but if you need copies in a hurry well we can knock them out fast. We have added small laminating services to out Large Format Laminating also. So many new things are in the works that you will have to stop in and see.
Well. headed out to see the New Year slide in with a few friends but plan to be back before Midnight to avoid road block, road checks and the stampede of over liquored drivers on the road! God bless you and keep you safe thru the rest of the Holiday weekend.
See you Next Year!

( Oh yeah, almost forgot, thats my daughter's photo coming off the printer in that photo, larger than life just like she always is! )

BBQ!

Ok... If you have not had the pulled pork AKA BBQ from Murray's, leave now and head over there before its all gone! He is also making this gynormous cake which I sorta tasted the frosting he is using on it and........... if he don't lock the door I'm gonna have to sneek back over there and grab a corner off that thing!
Seriously, they will be at the Taste of the Town next week and the stuff he is taking up there is terrific! ( and its not even the BBQ! ( which is some of hte best in town )...
Go see Murray and Mike and tell them you heard it here! Bon Appetit!

Things are getting back to a nice pace around the common..

Some of The MANY Reasons I Love My Wife.

This has been a great week, spring is peeking out from the cold of winter and flowers are starting to bloom. The sun warms me as I work outside and the days are getting longer with each rise daybreak. So I guess it is only natural to have a small tingle of spring fever, but to those of you who know my wife and soul mate, you know I have that tingle with each morning I wake up with her by my side so with that said, here is a simple list of things in no particular order which explains just a small part of why I love her so!
  1. She loves me.
  2. She lets me love her.
  3. She is funny (important to me).
  4. She thinks I’m funny (well… I tend to repeat jokes and stories, so she may not think as much of the material).

  6. She is smoking hot and gets hotter each day.
  7. She drives the car when we I don't feel like driving.
  8. She loves to work for God.

  17. She doesn’t like me to bring her flowers (she sees it as a waste of money). I do it anyway.
  18. She is the same about cards for special occasions (for years we have gone to a card store, looked at them, picked one out, showed it to the other person, then said something like ”If I were going to buy a card – this is the one I would have bought you”).
  19. She doesn’t mind it if I occasionally buy her expensive jewelry.

God placed her in my life for his reasons which I do not yet understand but I am thankful for that seemingly simple thing and I let God know every chance I get.
This is the short list I posted on facebook, some are not included above same are, the reasons change from day to day but only because the list gets longer.. For that I give thanks!

Some of why I love me wife. In
no special order...She is a people person. She’s smoking hot. She listens to great music. She thinks about stuff from a theological perspective. She is always very practically minded. She’s adventurous. She loves her family. She loves her Church and God. Her hands fit in mine perfectly. She has the best Hugs available. Her neck is long, graceful, beautiful, and fun to kiss. Her smile triggers an endorphin release in my brain. She taught me how to love her the right way (I'm still learning). She likes my cooking (or makes me belive she does). I brag about her to my friends and family because she is so easy to brag about. She's eminently cuddle-able. She lets me warm my cold hands on her back and feet on her legs (well sometimes I can get away with it). She is kind to children and small animals. She has a genuine concern for others. Did I mention her hands fit mine perfectly as God intended them to.
So thank you Debbi, thank you for being you and helping me to be me every day!

    Just another day....

    Christmas rolled in, new years slipped by and now it is 2011. Funny how the years just fly by now, sometimes ya just have to stop and sit quietly and be a kid again.. Recently while at Cracker Barrel sitting there looking at my plate, I could not help but play with my food lol.... I know we tell our kids not to do it but ya know what, it's fun! Go ahead be a kid, let loose and just enjoy the simple things. The waitress even got a chuckle over it and my wife tossed in the greens to make the eyebrows!

    Next time you are thinking to yourself "adults don't do that" just go ahead and cut loose, be a kid and have fun!
