It looks like things might fall through with our bakery location again 🙁
This time for real. And we may have to start over from scratch.
We were all up late last night making phone calls and having intense discussions. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep very well.
Nothing perks you up like oatmeal and coffee:
Yesterday’s was so good I had to have it again
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 whole banana
- 2 tbsp cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Bear Naked Cranberry Trail Mix
- Nuttzo PF (oh how I have missed thee!!!)
- Coconut butter crumbles
Coffee tasted better than usual today…
Nourishment.
I have a feeling it’s going to be a long day 
Jessica @ How Sweet says

Sara says

Amelia says
I’m so sorry your are running into problems. Don’t worry, everything happens for a reason. I’m sure it will all work out. Happy Friday! 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Awww, I’m so sorry!!! I hope things work out– I’m sending positive thoughts your way!

Mellissa says
Sending good location vibes your way!
Rose-Anne says
Oh, no! That’s no good. But everything will work out, one way or another.
By the way, I’ve been loving the “magic shell” effect of coconut butter on cold oatmeal–so fun!
shannon (the daily balance) says
so sorry to hear about these hurdles! Don’t worry it’ll all work out — it always does 😉
Jess. says
I’m so sorry to hear that. Must be extremely frustrating and stressful :(. Maybe you will find someplace even more perfect!
Juli @ Bless My Heart says
I’m a firm believer that “everything happens for a reason”. If it falls through, it’s because there is a better location out there waiting on y’all. Good luck, and I hope that it resolves itself – one way or another – quickly so that you can move forward.
Chelsey says
Oh no! That is such not good news. However, in the long run, it will probably be for the better whatever happens. It is so funny to look back on life and see a particular moment that was very challenging and say, “ooooh so that’s why THAT happened!” I know it will all work out -I’ll definitely keep you through my thoughts today… (and maybe take a nap for you too? haha!)
michelle says
Just breathe and remember that good things are in your future. Hard work and diligence pay off. You know this. You’ve proven this over and over in your blog. Now, you just need to remember it! Take care my dear! 🙂
Alyson @ Nourished Fitness says
ugh, that sucks, I’m so sorry! But the right thing will fall into place!
Marilou @ Mostly Healthy says
Oh no 🙁 That’s sucks, big time! I really hope for both of you that things will work out for the better … I can’t imagine 2 people more suited to do this .. You are both so passionate about it !
melissa says
you really can make the best looking bowl of oatmeal around!
Kori says
Keep your spirits up, Kath. Things have a way of working themselves out the way that they are intended to be. 🙂

Sending you lots of good “real estate” vibes today Kath! Even if this place falls through I know you guys will find some place even better.

I’m another that firmly believes things happen for a reason. It seems rough now, but you’ll get through it and find an even better bakery location!

Oh Kath! I’m so sorry about the bakery. I will pray everything works out! You can do it – focus hard, and you’ll get through it!!
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
What’s the problem you’re running into to? 🙁
It will all work out the way it’s meant to- chin up! 🙂
Sam says
OMG. That sucks about the Market Street location. Any idea where you guys are going to look now? They are building a new shopping center on 29 kind of near Hydraulic Road called Albemarle Square that is in a pretty cool location. You probably know about that though but just in case.
Danielle (Runs on Green) says
Sorry the location fell through! 🙁
Things will work themselves out, no worries 🙂
AllieNic (Frisky Lemon) says
Chin up! Everything happens for a reason– I’m a strong believer in serendipity. I know things will work out for the best.
Keep smiling and doing wonderful things for yourself!
Hannah says
Oh no, Kath! I’ll cross my fingers and hopefully fall asleep with them crossed, giving you a good 8 hours well wishes. If this site doesn’t happen, will you have to give up on Charlottesville???
Katie @ peacebeme says
Sorry to hear this! I hate when plans fall through, hopefully it will all work out and you can look back and see that you got an even better spot. 🙂

Not to sound like a broken record, but I also believe that everything happens for a reason and I’m sure things will turn around and get better for you – you and your family are too good of people for it not too. Keep a strong chin up and a smile on your face and don’t lose faith! ^_^
Janie says
So sorry to hear this Kath. I saw someone posted above about Albemarle Place…that place has been “in the works” for YEARS. Who knows when anything will actually happen there, they’ve been having development issues and who knows what else. I would stear clear… I’m sure you will find the perfect spot and all will work out:)
Joanne says
Oh no. Keep thinking positive, it will work out one way or another.
My fingers are crossed for you. Good things will come your way.
Sandy says
I’m sure if this falls through it wasn’t meant to be and you will find a better location and be so thankful that it worked out that way.
Kacie (Nonexistent Colors) says
Everything happens for a reason!! A better location is out there for you guys!!!
Kelly says
Booo! I’m sorry 🙁 I Hope your day gets better and things work out!!!

Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Oh my gosh! Why would plans fall throug so suddenly? I thought everything was fanalized… :/
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
Hope you have a chance to relax after this long day! That breakfast looks like a good start. I hope everything works out, I’m sure it will because you seem like a very hard worker.

Well on the bright side, that breakfast looks amazing. I hope it all works out!

Omigosh! I am SO SO SO sorry Kath! I’m really crossing my fingers for you!

Cynthia (It All Changes) says
Oh NO!!! I hope it all works out. And if not you get an even better location.

Uh oh. Take a nap today if you need to. Better to take some time off and come back with a fresh mind and good mood than be grumpy and tired all day.

Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
Aw, Kath, I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys!! What a lot of stress. I hope things turn out okay! 🙂
Chris says
One location’s loss will be another’s gain. Wait ’til they realize what they missed out on – or almost missed out on if this original location works out. You guys are rock stars, and that bakery is going to be a hit! All of the businesses around it will benefit from your customer base, I am sure. Hang tough.
Erin says
I’ve been perusing your blog for quite some time (well over a year!), but I felt the need to comment and say that things will get better..it may take more time and effort than what you thought it would, but it will work out in the end for Matt and you 🙂
Meredith (Pursuing Balance) says

Heather says
Crossing my fingers for you! Good luck today!
Joanna says
I am really sorry to hear this. I worked at a bakery this summer and I can tell that baking is hard work! And this particular bakery I was at had just opened too so all the new business stuff was happening. The owners worked like crazy. 16-18 hour days nonstop for a few weeks. Business is good now, but that was quite a startup cost.
Jessica @ Rawtumn says
I’m sorry you’re running into issues with this location as well! I hope it all works out sooner rather than later! <3
RhodeyGirl Tests says
(((HUG)))
Kacy says

LC @ Let Them Eat Lentils says
That totally sucks. You guys are MEANT to have this bakery and it WILL work out. Hope it happens sooner rather than later for your sanity. Just try to visualize yourself in your new bakery – it’s coming!
Laura @ youngDCliving says
So sorry to hear about the location! Hopefully it will work out, if not, I’m sure you’ll get through it. Keep positive!
Erin says
I transitioned back into eating oats today. Yes, it’s still HOT, but I missed my favorite breakfast too much to care!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Oh no, so sorry to hear about this!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out for you…hang in there!
Sheila Viers | Live Well 360 says
Hugs.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I’m sorry about the location falling through 🙁 Hopefully it can be salvaged. If not, I’m sure you’ll find another location that is even better! Thigns happen for a reason so you have to believe that there is something better out there!
On a happier note, you come up with the greatest oat combinations. AND, I am uber jealous of your coffee icon. Blogger just does not have that, lol.
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write says
Oh no! It will work out, though. Just hang in there!
Alyssa @ bride to be fit says
I’m sorry… I know it’s tough to think this way but just remember that there is a reason WHY it’s not going to work out… Something better is out there waiting for you! 🙂
Nancy says
Kath-
If things really turn sour in Charlottesville, thought you might like to know that the Greensboro Great Harvest just went up for sale! Maybe you could just make a shorter move 🙂
Kath says
Not totally out of the question, but we’d like to stay in Charlottesville…a lot.
Caitlyn @ A Spoonful of Life says
I’ve got my fingers crossed everything works out for you. You guys have worked hard for this. Maybe you can start bribing people with GH Bread!! It might work! Some people have a soft spot for GREAT bread!
Rachel @ Fit Fun and Fabulous says
I hope it all gets worked out! Have a good Friday
Lisa @ Early Morning Run says

Karen says
SO sorry for your troubles, Kath. I wish I could help. Just holler if you need some form of professional expertise from any of us. We are all as excited re. your bakery as are you! If this is merely a waiting game at this point, perhaps an intense yoga session will help? Hoping for the best!
K says
I know you’ve probably kept a bunch of info off of the blog, but I just wonder how this happened? Things seemed to be going so well for you….I am sorry that you’ve encountered such a huge setback. Best of Luck.
Kath says
Yeah, I probably shouldn’t disclose any details. But we’re just negotiating and hit a few dealbreakers at the last minute.
elaine! says
Kath, that really sucks. The good news is that you two are smart and capable and hard-working… so in 6 months you will be able to look back on this blog post from a more comfortable position, with your location solidified and plenty of tasty breads baking therein. Hugs, hang in there.
