I'M BACK

Wow so apparently some of you have been harrasing my husband about me not posting. Well I did say I would post next time I have a minute. HOLY COW!! this little move has been quite the adventure to say the least. To let you all know Chris finally resides in Grand Junction. He moved up here at the first of this month. He is still working for Navitaire but now he works from home, I am so excited and feel it such a blessing that in this crazy economy where nothing is predictable he was able to keep a fantasic job. So far its working out well.
My job keeps me busier than I think I've ever been in my life I think!! Heaven help us when we actually have children. I still love my job It definatly has it's challenges, I love it more than any job but it's also probably the hardest job I've ever had, and CRAZY me would like and is working on getting a job even higher up than the job I currently have. I'm getting a little glimpse of what it could be like. I'm currently running two stores. Mine and the one in Clifton, that's part of the reason why I'm so busy. They also jusr reorganized our districts and I'm now in a district with stores in Utah instead of Denver so I am currently spending a lot of time in Utah. Which is great because the hardest part of leaveing Utha has been my family. We really enjoyed spending all the time with the family in Utah. It was great.
So I do have an interesting story to tell you all. It happend not long after I moved up here. Being new in my postion I tend to make some mistakes. I made a HUGE mistake that was I didn't order enough boxes (boxes are a huge deal in the pizza world). I didn't just do it once I did it twice. to the point that when I called the company that delivers our products the truck had already left. Well being in Grand Junction I only have one other store to borow from. They didn't have enoght boxes to sustain us, so I had to go to Price (it's about 2 1/2 hours away) These boxes from Price were going to help but not solve my problem. So then i would have to go back to GJ and then leave again and head to SLC where the wherehouse for our product is and pick up more boxes. Well So I hopped in my little Pontiac and brought a friend and her little baby and headed to Price, we got there picked up some boxes, had a little bite to eat then headed back to GJ. We didn't get too far. My car pretty much blew up on the side of the road. So my Husband AKA my knight in shining armor, jumped in his truck and came to rescue us, we ended up staying outside of Price, then we towed my car back to GJ, keep in mind I still have to go back to SLC to pick up more boxes. Anyways we dropped the car off at a fantastic little shop called dare to care and decided the best option would be to rent a car and drive to SLC to pick up my boxes. So I rented a SUV which ended up being better than my little potiac because I was able to put more boxes in my SUV. Anywho I picked up the boxes, decided I REALLY want a SUV, and found out my car is toast. So a few days later after coming back to GJ i had to pack up and go back to SLC and find a car. But now I have a super cute 2003 HONDA ACCORD!!! I love it. SO yeah that's my very long story about me getting my new car. :)
My birthday was on the 10th and we went camping, just for a couple of days. It was nice no one from the store could call me. Probably some of the most peaceful days i've had in a while. For some reason though this birthday didn't feel like it was my brithday. Generally it seems as if there is a bigger deal when it comes to my birthday, but this year not as much. I"m not sure it was my favorite. Oh well I'll have many more to enjoy. Well that's kinda what we've been up to. I'll be headed to SLC again this weekend. LOVE YOU ALL!!

Just glad Chris is back with you. We were hit pretty hard by a storm that passed thru a few weeks ago and have been busy with insurance companies and roofers and siding people. The yard was pretty much pounded out. However, my tomatoes are coming back and even have a few ripening. Have never found the cucmbers. Papa and were driving back from a Rockies game and got in the middle of the worst of it on I-70. Couldn't see anything and the car was bouncing around so bad, we thought another car had hit. Could thing we drive a tank because there was no hail damage to the car. Unbelievable. Love having U back on your blog. SOOOO happy Navitar is letting Chris work from Junction. LUV U

AAAHHHH....so THAT'S what happened! Well, something good comes out of everything that goes bad :) I'm so glad Chris has finally joined you (tell him I said he's a slacker...JUST KIDDING!!!! lol) and you have INTERNET!!!! Now, if I could get away from my job & you away from yours, for just 1 day (at the same time) that would be even BETTER!!! I'm proud of you Steph, have I told you that? Well, ttly xoxo
