This has been a really interesting journey so far and there is still so much to do.  Two friends and I have started a new business venture.  It started last year and we had a really good idea.  However, it's seems that every door we tried to go through was slammed in our face.  So we re-evaluated our goals and have started moving forward with another opportunity.  In the next few weeks we are hoping to go live.  We are opening our own sporting goods store online with emphasis on home rec rooms.  We will be selling billiards, table tennis, foosball, game tables, poker and casino equipment, as well as hunting, fishing, marine, outdoors, team sports, etc.  Pretty much a fully stocked sporting goods store. We have been contacting suppliers for the last 3 months and have finally got enough products lined up where we can "open our doors." 

On June 1st we will be starting a Grand Opening sale of 10% off everything on the site and an additional 5% for friends and family with a discount code.  If you are interested in finding our more about this, send me an email and I'll send you the code when that time arrives.

The site is www.cbisports.com.  Take a look around and let me know what you think or what we can improve on.  Currently there are not a lot of products listed to the public but as we get them all lined up, we will begin displaying them so keep checking back.

I'll be saying more in the next couple of weeks and I look forward to hearing some feedback.

So, I haven't been blogging at all.   Time flies.  It seems as though everyone is so busy these days.

Anyways, I thought I'd just post a new pic of my growing little boy. 

This was on Caleb's first plane ride.  We went up to Fort Wayne, Indiana the weekend before Thanksgiving.  
Caleb did great on the flight.  Mommy took good care of him.

Welcome Caleb Ryan Draffin!!!

Ok, so this is totally random. I've been playing around with the Opera browser and it's got some pretty cool features.  One of my favorites so far is what's called a speed dial.  It kind of looks like IE's quick tab but acts different.  IE's quick tab shows you the tabs you have open already where as Opera' speeddial shows you a thumbnail of the sites that you have put into it.  When you open Opera, there is a page of thumbnails of your selected sites and you just click on the thumbnail and it takes you to the site.  Nothing extremely fancy and yet useful for me.

Well, here is a second attempt at this whole blogging thing.  This post is going to be extremely short but it's a start. 

First off, we are expecting and we are suppose to find out what we are having today.   More about the pregnancy and the baby in general can be found at baby.draffin.net. 

I had planned on saying more than this but I can't get what I'm thinking to come out right so we will continue at a later time.
