Goodbye Security!
This has been a pretty interesting week for us. Ryan has always planned on having his own drafting business eventually, and has been doing house drawings, and other stuff on the side for years already, but last week he got an offer he couldn't refuse. My aunt is starting a business manufacturing sun rooms and she asked Ryan to be her drafting department for this business (from home). He said he would, and he has already had some work coming in. Besides the sun rooms, he has been doing other work for her and other people 2 days a week for the last year, and still has that besides the sun rooms. So the decision had to be made. On Monday Ryan gave his resignation at his job, and starting in April, he will be officially self employed. This is a little scary since there is no guaranteed income and everything he does is contract work, but the opportunity with this is really good and there is potential for him to make alot more money than at his job. Right now we are trying to get a business name, which is kinda annoying. We have to pick a name and pay $50 to apply for it, then they tell you if the name is available. If it is too similar to something else in Canada, we cant have it. So far we are on try #2 (for another $50), so we are just waiting to hear back right now about that. We have been/will be in meeting after meeting with our accountant, insurance people, banks, lawyer, etc, etc, etc. It's pretty crazy, but we're really excited! So if anyone needs a house, renovation, piping stuff, electrical, or pretty much anything needs to be drawn, give Ryan a call!!

I have an idea for a name. "The Mennonite Guy Who Draws Stuff." what do you think. Or "Matt Friesen's drawing co." or "Wanna Sandwich". Those are just some thoughts I had. Thanks for listening and I want 15% of your profits if you select my name. Ryan- we have to get together when I come for Jordan (my brother) wedding at the end of May and beginning of June. ok see ya (oh hi rachelle)
Congrats you guys on your new "venture"!!! I hope everything works out and now that Ryan works from home....maybe it'll be easier for you guys to come down for a visit!! I must say I do agree with the name "The Mennonite Guy Who Draws Stuff" and I bet no one else has it!! Could save you another $50!! hahaha :o)
