How we met

Okay so how is it that April and I share a business when just a little over a year ago we had no idea who each of us were?
Well..... it kind of goes like this. April responded to Craig's list ad I had online.... no not one of those ads.... but one for an apartment for rent. I emailed her back and forth few times. She decided she wanted to take the apartment. Unfortunately, we decided not to rent it to her....... because we sold the house. But I thought it would be nice to still meet her once she did move to Mahopac from Massachusetts. I thought she might need some help figuring this little town out. She had no friends or family here.  A few days after she moved here I gave her a call & invited her over with her 2 extremely cute kids. 
As I waited for her to arrive a sickening feeling came over me. What if she is a complete sicko. Some crazy, missing teeth, pants up to her boobs, psycho. For a second I thought...hmmmm maybe this wasn't the smartest thing to do. Then I saw her jeep pull into my driveway, and I thought okayyyy she's driving a real car and not some nasty jalopy with 10 antennas sticking off the roof. This is a good sign. Then she rang my door bell and Oh my God..... she looked normal. Pretty even. So relieved.
So we began talking and it turned out that she was very nice. We spoke about the schools, houses, and other very important Mommy stuff.
A few days later we met for coffee. We discovered that we both wanted to go back to work now that our kids were getting older. We also needed to find a job that was super flexible being we both didn't have anyone to help us out with our kids. We felt like there probably wasn't a job out there with the schedule we wanted... you know... 10:00- 2:00, Monday through Friday, no weekends ever, no holidays, no Summers and all school vacations off.  Then we found out that we both loved photography..... and the rest of that convo went something like this:
"Hey you want to start a business?"
"Umm, Sure, I guess so."
"What about if we start tomorrow?"
"Sounds good... don't think I have anything else going on tomorrow."
"Okay... talk to you later."
"Yep... see you then."
And well that pretty much sums it up.  We've been busting our butts getting this business up and running.... and having a ball doing it.
