Oh Maine! You wonderful piece of heaven on earth!

Tomorrow night after work A and I will take the 5 hour journey to one of the most peaceful places. Moosehead Lake is once again calling my name. The best thing about this year is that I will be bringing him for the first time. I am also really looking forward to seeing Heather and getting to spend some time with her. Also having them get to know each other means the world to me as they are both two extemely important people in my life.

I can not wait and will definitely report back upon my return.

All things must come to an end

Today ends my 3 years at a wonderful company, and tomorrow starts a new adventure. Although I will be doing the same thing the environment will be different. I am ready for a new challenge, new people and new experiences. I will go boldly into this new role with confidence and look at the past 3 years as growth. Change is good, it keeps us on our toes and allows us to grow even more.

She's from Boston

Its the weekend once again. A few things I am excited about!

1. Finally getting my hair cut and highlighted tonight. It has been since May and it is driving me mad. I need to look great when I start my new job.

2. Wearing jeans on a Friday is SO nice. I know, the little things excite me, what can I say

3. Tomorrow is the Kenny Chesney concert, with a ton of my favorite artist. huge group tailgating to get the party started, then a day full of amazing sunshine and music. Does it get any better?

4. Sunday A is meeting my mother for the first time. My mom is my best friend and I am beyond excited to introduce them.

and mostly I am just happy that is it a weekend full of sunshine, laughter, music, and people I love. Life is truly what you make it. I am chosing to make every day the best it can be.

Customer Service is DEAD!

I can't even get into the whole story here, however the fact that customer service is so bad lately really makes me angry. What ever happened to taking care of the customer, to making them feel valued and respected. I know that I value treating people with respect and always making them feel they are important. I hardly ever get mad, and this last week I have been beyond angry with BOCH Toyota and how they have been treating me. The fact that as I write this I am on hold because I can not get ANY answers from anyone on what is going on with my registration is beyond upsurd. I am sick to my stomach and really just want this resolved so that I can get on with my life. I honestly have never been treated so badly in my life.

August already?

Here it is, the first week in August. I can't believe the summer has flown by. Although at this point I should expect it, it always tends to fly by. This year though with all the rain we got it did not really feel like summer til about a month ago.

I have to say though, regardless of the weather being not the best through July, I have had by far the best summer to date. Wonderful friends and family and the addition of a wonderful person to share it all with. I always thought that life was about the simple joys and now more then ever I know it is true. The best things in life can not be bought with money, they can only be shared with those we truly love. The things that in the end will enrich our lives are the moments we have and the memories we make. Life is this wonderful journey, and knowing what really matters and taking the time to stop and enjoy those things is what will keep us happy and healthy. My outlook on life has been drastically changed over the last few months, and I think for the better. I know that my future will be full of endless blessings and these will help the hard times not feel so hard. I have learned to enjoy my today's and to breath it all in.
