Have you ever been equally excited and terrified at the same moment? I think adrenaline junkies might describe it as that moment right before jumping from a plane, or the feeling you have when a roller coaster is moving super slow as it climbs the highest point of the track because you know any second its going to plunge over the other side. That’s the way I’ve been feeling for the last three weeks.
I have a countdown on my website until the Grand Opening – Open House on Friday, October 1st and as I’m writing this blog, the countdown reads 9 days, 3 hours, 12 minutes, and 10 seconds, 8 seconds, 6 seconds …
