the store

as many of you may or may not know, chris has been working diligently for the past 9 months or so to open up a store in cottonwood mall. he and a buddy of his purchased a pro image franchise earlier this year and are looking to finally open the temporary store at the end of this month. the permanent location will be demolitioned (is that a word?) on monday and they will continue the build-out over the next couple of months and hope to open the permanent location sometime in november. we just wanted to thank all of you who have been praying for chris and our family through this difficult journey. your prayers are totally appreciated and we are truly thankful for your support and friendship. i wanted to update you on some pictures that we've taken of the temporary location. these are some before and after pictures. after i took these pictures, they hung the sign out front and they moved some of the fixtures in (hallelujah they are out of our garage!). they will be processing all of the merchandise on monday. they are hoping to open the store next friday if they have enough merchandise to fill the store. there are over 50 boxes in our hallway so you'd think that would be enough, but there are several more boxes on their way! please continue to pray for the store and that God would continue to help us through this time. and, if you get a chance to come out and see the store in the next few weeks, that would be awesome!!
