Wait, Where'd They Go?

Woke up this morning and walked into the shop and dad goes, "So, all the forms and trucks were gone even before I got here." <He arrives at the shop around 7:40am>  

That being said... we officially have a foundation.  Sometime early this morning the crew came and removed all of the forms and just disappeared.  Talk about efficiency.  We were lucky enough to be able to work with Blain from Williams Foundations who went above and beyond.  

Now I present to you, the official start of our building:

Good Morning,

Just the Beginning

So, where do I begin???

I was inspired by a friend from afar to start a blog that documents the progress of the event facility, Wishing Pond Events, my current business project.  Here's a little background information to help you understand the full picture of how we've arrived at this point.  (More of the background story to come later)

About 6 or so years ago I started thinking about what my ideal future career would be.  I had just recently began to dabble in the world of DJing and came up with the idea of owning and running an event facility.  I grew up with a family who celebrated everyone's birthdays including cousins, aunts, uncles; literally, everyone.  My mom alone has seven siblings, most whom have children.  So, our family parties would consist of anywhere from 15 to 30+ people.  Entertaining was/is our thing... :)  This inspired me to step into the world of being a wedding DJ.  [Fast forward; many conversations with people about my plans, my goals, my ideas... years later and over 30 weddings down we are here today, at this exact moment where our foundation was poured today.]

In an attempt to prevent any spoilers I am not going to give you any information about the future but rather of where we are in the project and what we have accomplished thus far.

 
Here is the lot when we first started removing trees.


Then, excavating.


Today's progress:  CONCRETE!


You could say a lot has happened.  But, now things are really progressing.  Stay tuned for more of my story and to stay up to date with the progress of #wishingpondevents

With a Happy Heart,
