Goodbye Austin, Hello El Paso


So the decisions have been made and we are off to El Paso Tx next week!  The company that Preston is working for just opened the El Paso area and apparently the guys that are there are doing super good.  Well Preston's only goal this year is to do SUPER GOOD so we are making the move.  I am actually really sad to leave Austin.  I love this city!  It just has this amazing vibe and so much to do and see.  I hope Preston and I can make it back to actually SEE the city and not just sell here.  I actually just started working again this week, my first and last week.  I forgot how crazy busy the outlet mall is! Just a little bit busier than Cache Valley.  I am unsure if I am going to keep working when we get to El Paso.  I am taking a little trip up to Utah for a couple family vacations in June and July.  And since it took so long to get me working this time . . . who knows if it's worth it.  And I will finally have a buddy! My sister is coming down for 2 weeks and I am super excited to party with her! Also our friend Colby is getting married and his wife will be joining the Texas party.  I am so excited to have a pool/shopping buddy. :)

We are also way excited to get out off this hotel!!! And actually unpack our many much things.  We are still living out of boxes.  The only thing I am not looking forward to is repacking the car! Ah! I hope it all fits again!  At least this is a semi short drive. 

So last week I decided I would try my hand at selling.  I went out with the boys for the whole day.  Mostly I just followed Preston around and handed out the company magnets when I was told to. It was awfully hot and sorta boring but not terrible.  I can see how it would get really depressing though.  There is a possibility that you could work all day in the hot sun and not earn a dime!  It takes endurance and a positive attitude! Preston is a fabulous sells person and I learned a bunch from him.  Too bad I am too much of a worse to ever do it myself.  He really wanted me to pitch a door but everytime I started, I got stuck and then would look over at him... usually right in the middle of a sentence! Ha.  I really think I would be fine if I went out a few more times.  It was super fun to spend the day with the hubby though and I am now more appreciative of what he does everyday so that I can go shopping!
