So, oh so many things have occurred in the past months. The cafe which I co-own with my past Bluehouse counterparts has now been open for two weeks. It's scary and amazing at the same time to see something we've worked on for quite some time come into full bloom. I've gotten to see so many of my friends and past patrons come to visit the shop. We've had past patrons come to visit with their small children now growing dramatically. It's one of the favorite parts of my job, community. The ideas of cafes in a whole always fascinated me since I was young. The cult belonging and beatnik vibes. Coffee, reading and friends...
I remember being a young teen and always dreaming of working in a coffee shop. Luckily I had the chance of experiencing what I considered coffee shops in their "prime" (such as Funks or Daily Grind), and have had the chance to train at many awesome places.
I've gone full time working at Charmington's, and have already felt a burden lifted of working at a place where i'm happy and belong. I have plans for cooking classes and training.
I also have plans of future adulthood. 25 approaches next week. I'm going for my drivers ed next month, finally. Dave and I are doing great, and will be going on two years in January.
I can't complain. I only hope for the best.
