Once upon a long time ago, there was a handsome young pilot who fell in love with a cute little flight attendant.  They traveled together and talked endlessly of their dreams which included marrying, settling down in the quaint town of Orange, Texas and of one day opening a charming little coffee house of their own.

 

 

On February 1, 1992, the first of their many dreams came true.  They married on a blissful Saturday afternoon amongst the birds singing sweetly, a melodic harpist, and best of all, family and friends, together, celebrating their union.

 

As If dream number one couldn’t have been any better, the young bride married into an instant family of two sweet daughters.  Two years went by and dream number two became a reality with their first son being born. A healthy baby boy born with dark brown hair, big brown eyes, and a smile that would melt everyone’s heart.

 

Life was great for the young married couple and dreams started happening at rapid speed.  Their sweet little baby girl was born and the construction of their new home was underway.  Life couldn’t be any better.

 

Well, that young married couple started getting older.  Retirement was less than 10 years away, with two daughters graduating from college, one approaching middle school and our son in junior high, God again helped another dream become reality.

 

On February 27, 2006 the doors opened on their first coffee house,       The Jumping Bean Coffee and Gift Company.  Again by their side were God, family, and a multitude of friends supporting their efforts.

 

Today, that slightly older couple continue to dream of their future and continue to live happily ever after.
