Here is the "News"!

Hey everyone,
Here is what the "news" is- which is probably not as cool as I built this up to be.... but anyways, here it is.
Basically, I have been very unhappy/stressed with work..... and have always wanted to go backpacking. Well, we decided lets do it- so 3/1/11 we are on a one-way to Australia. We are planning on Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and hopefully Southeast Asia. We decided that 10 months from when we planned this would be enough to save up for this....
Meanwhile, Adam (as you know) is always creating business ideas and such on the side. Probably about two months ago, Adam came up with a phenomenal business idea and we decided to run with it (more on this later- easier to explain in person). So we have been meeting with people, planning,etc. the target launch date for this new business is August as of now...... this company is basically going to be all Internet based, from our end. So we can be in Australia and still operate it (and hopefully make money while we are gone).
Then, we decided that since we are backpacking, starting a business- we need to save a lot of money- so we are moving back to KC until we leave. We are going to live with my parents and hopefully just save money/get the business started. This business is a lot of start up costs and basically it is the smartest thing for us to do right now. Oh! and I am not quitting my job, just yet.... I am the main source of income right now and the "financial backing" of the company... LOL.
1) KC
2) Business
3) Backpacking
These are the 3 pretty big events that the Griffins are about to embark on. We are very excited, a little scared (well- I am scared because this will be ALLLLL our money). But we have thought about worse case scenarios and none of them are bad enough to make us change our minds.
So- More the come on the business. We will be promoting the heck out of it, so you all will eventually get sick of hearing about it- but I hope you can all support us. I know we are slightly crazy and some will think we have lost our minds- but that is just fine with us..... it is now or never!!!!!!
