Thumbs up Omg...

WOW! Do I have news...1st my house sold this past weekend and the family wants us out ASAP as in by the end of this month! Great...but...Monday my VP tells me where would you live in the US if you could work from home? Would you stay in Dallas or move?

Well...ALLL my family including hubby's family is in Missouri. So I told my boss I love Dallas but also would live in MO. The company has decided that since Directors travel so much it would be better work/family balance if they worked from home. OMG! They are moving us to MO if we want too. Hubby and Carter are on their way to MO as I type and I will fly in on Friday night to join them on the house hut...who would have thought! LOL CRAZY RIDE!

PS...Toony...no worries my trip is still booked for next week and I will see you Wed night! *yippie* I am meeting Toony!
Also any one in the Denver Co area I will be there on Mon night/Tuesday, Chicago area on Wed-Thursday and Fri in Minneapolis.

OMG, that is SOOOOO exciting! You lucky dog. My dream is to work from home at least 2-3 days/week. I would also love to travel more with my job, but my trips keep getting cancelled for one reason or another. So you can see that I wish I had YOUR job, LOL!

I loved the pics of your new house...what are you going to do about it?

Congrats on the sale and the amazing career success!

WOW! What wonderful news! That is so wonderful that you may be able to be closer to your extended family. I hope you find a home and can get settled in soon. You deserve the very best!

I hope you and Katie have a wonderful visit together. Make sure you take pictures and share with all of us. So, with the change in your job, does that mean you will not be coming to Pittsburgh? I hope not, I look forward to meeting you!

Keep up the awesome work girl! Oh yeah, and share those arm exercises with me!

Love ya!
