February is an important month! In addition to one of the most romantic holidays in the universe, we are also celebrating two very special anniversaries. The first: As of this February edition, Nonahood News is officially two years old! It feels hard to believe that Nonahood News is only two. So many amazing stories and incredible announcements have been packed into the last 24 months, it’s almost like living in fast-forward. The best thing is that we’re just getting warmed up.
The next anniversary we are celebrating is our own – this year marks our 12th wedding anniversary and 17 years together. Time sure does fly when you are madly in love. In a way, our time with Nonahood News has been a similar blur of time. Running a business is definitely not always easy (and neither is marriage!), but both are incredibly rewarding and we wouldn’t change a thing.
Our neighbors and good friends, Jason and Lindsay, started the paper two years ago, and when we agreed to take over we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Since taking on the role of publishers, we have seen many changes, some good and some bad. We have a publication that has grown beyond our expectations. Our community continues to grow and businesses are popping up all around us, and it’s great to be able to offer a service that can help them connect with our community.
An anniversary is a time to not only celebrate but to also think back about the moments that got you to this point. We have experienced many failures and many more accomplishments. In order to successfully navigate toward the future, it is important to look at the trials, misadventures, mistakes and lessons learned in the past. Nonahood News has been nothing short of an adventure for us, and we’re excited to see what year three will bring!
Thanks for being such a great community and sticking with us, Nonahood! We are honored to be a part of it all.
Love,
Rhys & Jenny
