Greetings!

How does the old adage go? The only consistency in life is change. Change is the only constant. Everything flows, nothing stands still.

 

No matter the wording, it rings true time and again.

And we've certainly lived it this past year!
 

In February 2009, we were training for a half marathon, finalizing April wedding plans, and optimistically trying to determine our next chapter as newlyweds. By July we had our answer. In a flurry of trips and visits, research and trainings, meetings and discussions, we celebrated our 6-month anniversary by uprooting ourselves to follow our passion here to the Fox Valley. We're no strangers to Wisconsin. But a new marriage, new home, new business, and new life all in a matter months? That's a lot of change!

 

What change has life brought you? We've been fortunate already to meet wonderful people, share in your fitness goals and plans, and find ways involve our business in the community. We thank those of you who helped us make change by supporting our efforts to raise money for the American Red Cross and Soles4Souls Haiti disaster response. You're excitement and encouragement as you stop in to check on our expansion progress let's us know we're surrounded with the community we were looking for.

 

To all of you we say, don't stand still! Make change, embrace change, be change. We are. And we're having a time of it!

 
Cheers!
Jeremy and Leah
