Its so surreal to see ourselves in this top selling magazine in Albuquerque...Albuquerque the Magazine!
We knew it was coming, we had the interview with Tom back in October and had basically forgot all that we had talked about over the hour and a half he stayed to chat. That's mostly what I was wondering about, 'how the hell is he gonna fit all of what was said into a page or two of magazine?'
The photo shoot was in mid January, at way too early in the morning for me. Cameron likes to schedule things so that I have to wake up with the rooster to be functional by the time of scheduled event, torture for this night-owl...'conditioning' for chicken-farming he says. The photographer brought his big lights and took tons of pictures, in the workshop, in the backyard, in the chicken run, all over really. We had a bit of a bet going as to which set of photos would be published in anticipation for last night.
Last night was the release party for the March edition, which is the "Top Docs" issue - the health issue, so we fit right in. I had to go represent us solo, Cam was on his management shift and couldn't change it. Walking up to the event, held at a plastic surgery center, I see Camille who just signed herself up to rent chickens from us. She was our first contact at the magazine, and a very appreciated one, she passed our story off to Tom. I got a drink but only because I ran into the bar looking for our free copy of the magazine ;) once I had it in my hands I started to flip through it frantically until I saw the wooden walls of our workshop.
I'm pretty good at speed-reading so used my ability to devour the article. Tom did a great job of capturing the essence of who we are and what service we provide to the community. We are so grateful for the opportunity to get our story out to all of the magazine's readers. Everyone I met at the release party really seemed to like the idea and wished us luck. Its the positive reaction to what we are doing that keeps us going. Everyone laughs first then starts shooting the questions, all while keeping a smile on their face.
We love it.
This is only the beginning!
forever grateful
