So, we have moved ahead a bit with the restaurant idea without committing ourselves. We have checked out several locations in town that would be good spots. Our favorite one is a bit pricey so we will have to work out whether or not we can really open there. We sent out a survey yesterday and have gotten some interesting results. Most people from the college think we need another dining place in Sterling. They also seem to want the type of restaurant that we are thinking of opening.
There are still a lot of variables in place before this can actually happen. Most of the time I just feel overwhelmed at the prospect of actually doing this and I feel very inadequate. However, we see a need in Sterling for something like this and we really see a need for a place that is college-kid friendly. We have looked around and some other small college towns in the area and they seem to do a better job of catering to the college crowd. Sterling doesn't have anything open after 8:00 p.m. except Food Mart! :) So, I will keep you all updated on any progress we might make on this. I would appreciate your prayers for this. We really just want to do God's will and we do feel led in this direction. We'll see where it takes us.

I look forward to hearing more about these ideas. I would also recommend that you talk to other restaurant owners to see how they feel about their work. I also just had a thought that you could have a book club once a month at The Mango Grill. That might be jumping the gun a bit, but would put two of your loves together.
Love, Susan
Ironically I can recommend Amy Thompson as a good source of someone who also sees a need for another restaurant in Sterling and something that can benefit both the College and the city. Seriously, you should connect with her about your ideas.
I want to move there and help you with the restaurant! I really think if you have good food...it will be a success. People are always willing to eat out! Plus, I love the name. You could have a specialty salad or something that featured mangos. Congrats on all the weight lost too...love, Carol
Amy, do you have Amy Thompson's email address. Carol, we would love for you to come and help us. Maybe you can loan us Maggie for a little while! :)
