It's Been A Long Time Coming

That's right everybody...it's a post! I know I haven't been posting as often as I would like, or as many of you would like (based on the comments in my last post). But I promise, I will be posting more often now that things are beginning to flow at work!

So here is a brief rundown of how things have been since the last post!
  • I have begun to dislike air travel even more than before! Now I know I shouldn't complain because my mother is a retired Delta employee and I travel on standby for a very very very reduced rate, and I am happy about that. What I am tired of is having to run from concourse to concourse because the TSA agents or the people who work at the airport are not where they are supposed to be or the lovely airline has given me a connection that is exactly .235 seconds after my arrival (exaggerated for the purpose of this post, they actually give you .237 seconds). Anyways, let's just say that my day trip back to Miami, consisted of a lot of running through the Atlanta airport!
  • I did go home! I went to Miami for roughly 20 hours back at the beginning of July. I had a Toastmasters meeting that I just could not miss! It was a great meeting, seeing my friends prior to the "final move" up here. It was nice to go and visit. I will be heading back to Miami in October and November for various events. I will let you know when I am back in Miami though!
  • Work is going well. We have 6 designers who we are taking appointments for on a regular basis! This week has been our biggest sales week yet, bringing in over $14K since Monday! Other things with work are well too. We are in the process of getting a spot for the Jacksonville Home & Patio Show in October, which should boost business even more! If you want to see an article about us you can go here: The Jacksonville Business Journal And you can see our website here: Closets By Design
  • Went to the movies a couple times last month. My cousins and I saw Hellboy 2, which was good, but not as good as the original. We also saw The Dark Knight, which was simply amazing. It is one of those movies that if you get the chance to see it, take it! It will knock your socks off!
  • Mom and Grandma are up here this week. They are helping out at my Aunt's house. We have had many many different appointments for people to go to the house to fix it up. Who would of thought that a brand new house would have so many things wrong.
  • Planning on staying with my Aunt & Uncle for probably another month or two. But in the meantime I am on the hunt for (1) a realator -- even though I will probably just use my Aunts and (2) a good deal on either a condo or a forclosure, somewhere in the area. One of the condo places near my aunt has new construction 2/2's for just under 100k, so I will be talking a look there, and thing about purchasing rather than renting!
  • Outside of that all is well. Nothing new to report. How are all you doing in the wonderful world of blog?

Welcome back Matt! Missed you! I've been having a great summer with my son, enjoying Southern CA quite a bit this year. Glad to see you back on the map! :)
