Spring Fever

After our big snowfall last week spring has finally appeared to arrive in the south. The daffodils are blooming and the trees are budding and spring is in the air-yeah!! Of course today is my day off and it is raining (sigh) but at least it is warm!!
It has been a really busy week for me. They pulled 15 people including all of the key carriers and managers except for myself and one other out of our store to help "clean up" the Little Rock market for some big guns who were coming to visit. They were gone all week which meant no days off for anyone. Actually I had the easier part-the ones who went worked anywhere from 13 to 17 hour days cleaning up other peoples messes-all I had to do was run the store here! It was fun to watch our people come back yesterday-they all grabbed us and hugged us and told us how much they LOVE our store! I guess they know now that even though we set higher expectations and really push everyone in the long run it pays off! They actually had some of the folks from the stores they were working in walk out because our staff was working them too hard! The team we have built in our store is the most awesome team I have ever worked with. They truly want to be the best at everything and all we have to do is challenge them and they always step up!!
Vacation in DC sounds like great fun! We always said we would like to go back since we really didn't get to spend much time there when we did go. Hope you all have a wonderful spring break!! And Happy Birthday to the birthday girls in Utah!! Wish we could be there for the party but we'll be there in thought! Hannah-I will drop a check in the mail at the end of the week for your benefit-that way it won't sit while you're away.
Chrissy-did you ever get any info on the benefit walk? Now that it is warmer I can't wait to get out and walk! If nothing else I can be ready to join Carolyn on her hikes in August!
Hope you all have a great weekend and spring break for those lucky enough to have one!!! Love you all!!
