Opening Day!

Kelli & Andrew in Front of Store
Stopped in to see everyone at Amai yesterday and CONGRATULATE them on making it to Opening Day! I know it’s been a long, exhausting road for Kelli and Andrew…but the store looks fabulous and so does all of the baked goods. It was a special day for me, as well; although, I no longer officially work there, I felt very proud to be a part of all of this over the past year. And from someone who has dreams of opening her own bakery one day, it was a thrill to see a friend be able to realize her dream after so much hard work. I really do admire the sheer commitment Kelli has for her business and Andrew has for Kelli. They have dedicated everything to make this a reality, and they have succeeded as a team. I sincerely wish them the best. Now…I’ll let you take a peak at how everything looked.

These are great pictures! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello on our opening day. I LOVE those flowers. They have inspired me to get flowers for that corner as much as possible. It really makes a difference. Thank you!

Daughter Dear it is great to see your blog up and running again (get the pun)!! This is for me a great way to follow your daily life without being there in person. Father’s kind of stay in the backround, but know always I am there for you.
Love you much, keeping climbing and stay close to the Lord. Pops
