After countless hours, and lots of work The Afternoon Nest officially has a NEW HOME! I’m am over the moon excited and I can’t wait to see all those smiling faces when they walk in for the first time tmw afternoon!!! I want to start by saying THANK YOU to my husband ( Brandon C**t Bazen ) for all the time he has spent helping me over the past week making this building be what I needed it to be! A huge THANK YOU to my boy and our super special friends ( Cody Lybrand, Jessica Taylor Lybrand, and the girls ) that NEVER hesitate to show up, help, and hung in there until it was completely finish ( 12 hour day yesterday for all of us )! Then back again today for the final touchs. I’m tremendously grateful for the lady that helps me contain the chaos on a daily, our Leighanne Hendricks Black! You’re so appreciated and thank you for all you do and for helping today. I also want to help my BIL Nathan McCrackin for helping make the outside look as amazing as it does! It takes a villiage, and I must say mine are RICKSTARS! I truly appreciate all the love and support that each family has shown The Afternoon Nest since 2023. I look forward to many more years! 💛
