event venue | Day With KT

One year ago today we bought a business!!!

It has been a year full of many highs and many lows. There have been lots of frustrations (mostly on my part!!!) and some very happy times.

We have hosted weddings and receptions –

There have been rehearsal dinners, graduation parties, anniversaries, birthday parties, Quinceaneras, holiday parties, business parties, business meetings and many other events.

We have had lots of new experiences like being part of the Bridal Fair –

We joined the local Downtown Business group and have tried to get involved with other small business owners.

My favorite event so far was our Christmas Day open house!!! (sadly I didn’t take many pictures!!!)

I think that Chris and I have learned even more about each other through this experience – I’ve learned that Chris can handle pretty much anything. He stay calm even when I send him pictures like –

leaking pipe - basically a river across the entire entry — leaking pipe – basically a river across the entire entry

water on the floor of the ballroom - leaking from the roof — water on the floor of the ballroom – leaking from the roof

Chris has learned that I don’t handle things like water flooding the wood floors very well!!! Basically I have had lots of high stress and panic over the last year.

But, I think that overall it was a good first year and I’m hoping that our 2nd year is even better!!!

Here’s to year #2 at The Governor’s Row House.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Today for my 43 I did a move that Kim @ BusyBod shared in a leg workout – a plyometric runner’s lunge. Not gonna lie – this was a tough one because I had to do 2 sets of 43 since I have 2 legs!!!

I like to add plyo moves but maybe I should do them on days that I’m not running?! Oh, well – it worked out OK!!!

I also ran again today (2 days in a row!!). Today I did 7 miles (at 1.5% incline) – for the first 6, I alternated between 8:00/mile and 7:30/mile – the last mile I increased the pace some – total time 53:05 – 7:35 pace. I finished off with a cool down mile for a total of 8 miles in 66:39.

So, yesterday was the culmination of our summer “project.” Chris and I have spent the last 2 months doing all of the many steps that had to be done in order to make our new venture official. As of yesterday at about 2:30 – we own The Governor’s Row House (an event venue)!!!

This is an existing business and we plan to continue hosting events and hopefully add in some fun new things. We will do weddings, receptions, business dinners & lunches, graduation parties, holiday parties, retirements, reunions plus we have plans to add in some new features over the next number of months!!!

This new adventure is part of why I have been struggling with balance so much lately. I’m sure that over the next few weeks/months I will continue to figure out how to make everything work (and still have time to relax at the swim beach!!) without going totally bonkers!!!

I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t nervous – but I’m also super excited and have so many ideas rattling around in my head that I am sleeping less than ever these days. Just as well, no time to sleep – too much to plan and do!!!

Please check out my new blog – it is a work in progress but will grow rapidly as we look to add new events every month!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!
