Yesterday I went to the British Pub on 436 with Abe and Jamie. We met up with all the people I use to hang out with in high school. It was really cool to see all of them. I hadn't seen most of them in years. Not too much has changed. Most of them are still in school, working, etc. Doing the same stuff as always. I was glad to see everyone and hear about what they've been up to...

Spent most of the day today putting up a fence in the backyard with Emily and John Sheridan. It was nice to do some manual labor and have something to show for our work. The fence cane out really well. Now the yard actually feels like our own. We have some privacy and a place for the dogs to play. It even feels bigger. And one of our neighbors gave us some patio furniture that she was going to throw out. No more sitting on the ground.

It's been a busy week. Lots of dubs, lots of scans and lots of calls to make. I played traveling salesman again today. Went to every office park and doctor's office I could find. Probably handed out 250 or 300 flyers. Now we're almost out of flyers. This morning we had a meeting with Grandesign to see our new business identity. It looked really good, definitely captured the essence of our business. Tonight we had our first meeting to try and sell a Lifetime Tribute Video to someone we didn't already know. It went OK, but it was a little awkward. Neither Emily or I are very good at small talk and we didn't know our product well enough to really sell it, so we stumbled through the sales pitch. Oh well, we'll get better with time.

It's my birthday again. It always seems to happen around this time every year. It didn't really feel like a birthday though. Usually I feel like it's a special day, but not this year. It was probably because I was so busy all day, which is good of course. Suddenly the business has really picked up. We made our weekly goal and more for the first time last week. Today we are already well on our way to another good week. Emily and I have been working all day, every day to get these orders done. It doesn't feel like work though. Working for myself doesn't really seem like working at all. It's great. I just feel very free.

I played traveling salesman today, getting dressed up in a shirt and tie, driving around to various doctor's offices and law offices to pass out flyers. I don't mind doing it. I even got some business out of the trip. Doing a pickup on Wednesday. Tomorrow I will be making phone calls all day. I have been excited about starting yoga classes. It is something I never thought I would do, but suddenly I am very interested. I really need to just get out of the house sometimes and exercise. Too much sitting in front of the computer lately.

We just finished moving into the new apartment. It is absolutely perfect. Not to small and not a piece of crap like our other apartments. We have all of the amenities we need without having to pay too much in rent ($739) and without living in someone's basement. What's even better is that we don't have anyone above or below us. It's not a typical apartment building. More like a duplex. We even have our own little back yard. I love it.
