Welcome and enjoy!

Hello and welcome to the Mehmen's blog! I thought this would be a great way to keep you all posted and updated on the lives of the Mehmens! Enjoy.

Today is January 8th, and at home we are making thank you cards for our fabulous Christmas gifts. We had a wonderful Christmas. It's funny how it seems like forever for Christmas to get here, but then it seems as though the last two weeks of December don't even exist, because they fly by like a whirlwind, and it's Jan.1 already. Brad has been busy since the 2nd of January working over at our building in Nevada.

For those of you who don't know, Brad and I are opening a coffee shop in Nevada, which is the next town over. We've owned the building for a couple years now, just sitting on it, and it's finally come to us what we're supposed to do with it. I am so excited, and can hardly stand it. So, you will be able to see photo's and get the latest progress of the shop here on our blog spot. The name of our shop is The Old Opera Cafe. Why you ask? Because at one time, there was a opera house on the top half of our building, that is no longer there. We wanted to bring something back to the community that was once there, and bring it back in a way. We thought that the community would really appreciate that. We have old black and white photo's that we will be enlarging and hanging in the shop, and hence will be the "theme" or the feel if you will. I can't wait for you all to see either in person, or here on the blog. My opening date goal is for March 1st. Brad's is April 1st. Only time will tell. God's timing is always the best timing.

Well, that is all for this entry. I am not sure exactly what this blog will look like, but I feel that this is a good start. Just a quick update, and to wish you all a happy new year!
