Today I signed my final contract and ohmygosh I’m freakingout. Generally, I’ve been able to distract myself from that fact that in about 3 months, we’ll be leaving. But there’s no way to avoid thinking about it when you’re signing your name and talking about the future! Of course, we have plenty to look forward to, and that’s what I need to focus on.
Not-so-fun things we’re researching:
-Shipping prices from different companies
Fun things we’re researching:
-Houses/Jobs
-Schools
-Bakeries and “marketing research” (which involves eating, of course!)
I’ve really been enjoying looking at pictures of bakeries on pinterest. I’m sure that counts as research and learning! Here are a few I like:
I really like clean, natural, simple, old-fashioned looks. If we ever open a bakery I want to have wooden floors and tables, distressed white walls, steel or copper fixtures… Time to start dreaming and designing! Anyway, I don’t have that many pins on my board yet, but if you’d like to check it out (and find the sources for the photos above), click here.
If you have any tips on the things we’re learning about, please let me know! What are you researching/dreaming about?
Little Snail 
you guys should open a beard papa in grand haven.
That would be good! But Chad really wants to sell curry pan.
Where are you moving to? This is the type of research I love, too…. which bakeries and cafes to visit. That’s probably how I found your blog! 🙂
We are moving from Kobe, Japan back to Michigan, where we’re from. Maybe someday we’ll be able to open a bakery!! 🙂
