Runaway Bridal Store Owner

We are officially in our new store and happy to be there! Everyone doubted my mom as she set the Feb. 1 goal, but that was certainly the wrong thing to do! She had us working around the clock to make it happen.

Here's a recap...

Painter's finished Wednesday, Flooring "professionals" (more on that later) finished Saturday morning and "moving crew" arrived at 11am on Saturday. When mom and I arrived at the store after the "professionals" were done, it was a disaster. Of course my Grandmother and Aunts saved the day by coming to help clean up the store. We had to get it cleaned up in just two hours before the movers arrived. The floor looks like it was installed by 4 year olds. I think I saw steam coming from my mom's head. Our landlord was smart for not answering his phone right away.

Our movers arrived on time. I am going to list out all those that helped and hope I don't miss anyone...

Saturday night, Sunday and Monday were full of putting up, organizing and decorating. Do you remember the story of the Runaway Bride? At one point Monday night, I thought we were going to have a new version of the story...Runaway Bridal Store Owner. And how funny would that have been when my dad's picture popped up on Fox News? Dad has been so good about fixing up and reconnecting wires, but I really didn't want to let him out of our sight for fear he wouldn't come back. Dad, I think the worst is over.

Here are some pictures...
