Super, Duper, Amazing Fantastic News

It is official, Mountain Reservations is allowing me to stay with the company!!!

Mountain Reservations has decided to pilot a new program and have a Tahoe representative, and I will be testing this new program. I will continue working for the company as an agent and help build partner relations in Tahoe. This is a great opportunity for both me and Mountain Reservations. Tahoe is a great resort town that most of our agents haven't had the opportunity to explore. I will become the eyes and ears to bridge that gap. I look forward to working with the company remotely and continuing to be a reliable and honest team member to everyone. My goal is to help the company acquire more Tahoe resorts and build a successful California market as we have in Utah and Colorado. I am excited and grateful to be taking on this challenge.

This is a blessing and stress reliever for Andrew and I. I am proud to work for a company that sees and believes in my potential. Mountain Reservations has been talking about a program like this for a while, they just didn't have a person to head it up. Talk about right place, right time, right person right place to move. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during the transition. Move date set for next Tuesday!

Scooter Update

My pink beauty has been out of commission due to a faulty petcock valve. But, it is fixed now!!!! I picked it up from the repair shop yesterday!!! Now I am back on the open road.

Packing up

Our home looks pitifully :( We took all of the pictures down last night. The walls are bare and lonely. I think it is starting to hit us that we are actually moving. The house will be controlled chaos for a few more weeks, then we will be gone. We plan on heading west on the 25th or 26th of August. Looks like the movers are coming on September 11th or 12th. So we should be settled in a new place in Tahoe by mid September. Both of us are excited and ready to be there. Sometimes waiting is the worst part. When we get to Tahoe, we plan on having a yard sale to get rid of some junk that we don't need. There is nothing like moving to help uncover lost treasures or buried worthless junk. We will keep you posted.

Hello

I know it has been a while since I posted anything, so I thought I would update everyone on what is going on. Things here have been very busy. We are working hard, and getting ready for the move. My last day at work is August 22 so we plan to head to Tahoe around the 26th or 27th. Andrew's first day of work is September 2nd, so give him a call and tell him good luck. He is going to be great, but he is still a little nervous. We have been looking at places to rent in Tahoe, and the good news is there is plenty of availability. So we should be able to find something that will work for us. The most exciting thing is that Andrew has promised me a back yard!!!! This means I can have flowers and a garden, even better, Lille will have a place to play.

My scooter has been out of commission for a little while. The repair place is sending me a new part. It is a problem with the petcock valve. I guess the part allows gas to flow from the gas tank to the carburetor. Currently it is stuck in the shut off position, so no gas is flowing. Bummer. Hopefully it will be fixed by next week. I had to put gas in my car, and I almost cried. I miss my $6 full scooter.

Other than that things are great.

Hope you wrote our address in pencil!

BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING AGAIN!!!! Back to Lake Tahoe. Andrew got a promotion, and we will be relocating at the end of August early September. It has been over four years since we have been there, and now we are going back for the long haul. We are hoping that this move will be at least a five year stay, not the typical 2 year stint. We are very excited for the change, and can't wait to see some old friends. We will keep you updated.

Heros For Children

A good friend of mine is participating in a 5k run in September. The money she raise supports a great organization, Heros For Children.

Heroes for Children is a nonprofit organization providing financial and social assistance to families, within the state of Texas, with children (0-22 yrs of age) battling cancer. Formerly known as Taylor 's Angels, Heroes for Children was created in memory of Taylor Anne Brewton and Allison Leigh Scott. We strive to make a difference in the lives of families in Texas.

Let's help her reach her goal, and save some lives!!! You can donate at the following link.

Bored....

I am at work and the systems are down and they have been down since 8 this morning. It is impossible to get anything done right now. I hope my clients that want to book don't go elsewhere. Goals are hard to hit when you don't have the proper tools to work. Oh well, I will just hang in there.
