We are very thankful for all the people involved in helping us get to this point.

We are so thankful and so sure that there will be many more truly generous, gracious, giving, supportive, understanding and helpful people to meet, that we created a page just to say THANKS!

As with life itself, one of the most interesting and telling parts of this journey we are on involves the people we have met along the way. We have met all sorts of individuals.

Most have made a difference and a few have inspired us. Some have quickly crossed our path, others have lingered longer, and then there are those who have been by our side providing us with immeasurable support while we forged up this mountain we have been climbing. As we reveal 'Our Story' in this way, we want to show our gratitude to those people who have helped us get this far:

THANK YOU Gabriel & Rob for being the most supportive architects ever; Dominick for being a great friend and bringing all of us to EXPO West for the first 3 years of our journey!; Johnny for all your advice and support on our build-out; Bobby for your advice, support and all the SOC donations; Tony for your undying belief in us; Tanya for sharing our vision and introducing us to M; Brunson for your time and absolutely wonderful meals you have prepared for us...and for finally coming on board when the Universe presented the opportunity at the last possible moment!; Michael for all this and truly understanding what we need; Kerry for motivating me; and our young children (G&L,A&S) for going with the flow...so well. Tom for saying, "Yeah, I'm in." from the first go. Ewan, for being the Angel we always envisioned. And Mr. Pie for inspiring me!

p.s. When I write 'we'. I typically mean me & Joulia ~ who I have stood side by side with, for over four years straight. I have not seen many people dig as deep as Joulia. I am so very proud to call her my good friend and partner :)  Thank YOU J for jumping on board without a second thought and for working so hard with me to make this dream come true!
