Rain Rain go away….. My big fat Greek life….

Well here we are in the big city on a Friday night… Not much going on, Guess tonight is as good night as any to begin writing about how I came to the USA and some of the things I went through in the past 20 years… It all started with me graduating cosmetology school in Winnipeg. I was out looking for an electrolysis machine as I was planning on opening my own shop. My fiancee and my father along with my mother and another friend had gone to Fargo on a joy ride to get away, my father had always loved coming to the US. So… As I was in the middle of this equipment store I get the call that would change my life forever.. It was my fiancee, He asked me what I was doing and I said looking for equipment. His exact words were drop everything we have a change of plans… I had no idea what he was talking about. I met up with him to later find out that he found this awesome location for a restaurant! I was born and raised in the restaurant business unlike my other half who was a hockey player slash real estate agent slash bartender and server. I thought he was joking around but he wasn’t. I had never been to Fargo but loved going to Grand Forks just to get away. Something about the USA just made me warm and fuzzy all over! I was very interested in this exciting new venture… So here we were  barley 21 years old, empty pockets and nothing but a distant dream of owning a restaurant having lots of children and living the American dream! part two tomorrow……
