Off to Dickson for Training....

The United Country Home office done an Associate Power training session in Dickson TN, several of us went on Tuesday and Wednesday. We left at the butt crack of dawn both mornings. I am not a morning person. But it was fun. We always have fun when we do any kind of training or meetings. This was a two day training at the Renaissance Plaza in Dickson. I had never been there before but it was a gorgeous place.. Lunch was provided and we had wireless Internet. Everyone came away with something new they had learned. We took notes and got to ask questions. They had a great Power Point Program and we had notebooks to follow along with.

Jim Graves our Regional VP and Bill Baker the RVP from the Northeastern Division came and done the meeting. It was very educational. There was 10 of us from our office and we carpooled together. United Country is a great company to work for. They do so much for their franchisee and our agents. We are really blessed to have such a great company behind us...

Hellooo Weekend!!

Today is Friday and we have had a busy week. Lot's of new listings, several closings and Andrea is trying to put together a new brochure. This is always a hectic time, the brochure is one of those projects where you put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and hope no one comes a knockin!!!

Andrea is off today. She tries to take Fridays off if possible. It has worked out pretty good. The agents that have floor time on Friday answer the phones and I try to pick up the slack. Well I have to get up and start getting ready and head out to work... TGIF

ONE DAY I AM GOIN' TO FAX MYSELF TO BERMUDA!!!

This is where I would love to have been today!! One of those days at work. Nothing major...just one of "THOSE" days. Busy all day long without one minute to even look up....running here and running there....and at the end of the day, you look around and have not got anything done. The phone ringing, errands to run. We left long enough to get a burger at Wendy's came right back and eat lunch at my desk. I don't think Andrea even left, I think Chris brought her something back and she eat at her desk too..I Think... We have about 7 or 8 new listings to get on the net and I took 4 and told Andrea I would get them put on... at the end of the day there they sit right where I left them..untouched and not on the Internet.... OH well, tomorrow is another day.. and we will do it all again. But I love my job and I love the folks I work with. I am blessed beyond anything I could hope for. Life is good. We live in a great country and God is God and he is always in control, even if I'm not..... What else can I say!!!

I'M SO FAR BEHIND, I THINK I'M FIRST!!!!!!!

It's Friday! My, How time flies!!

Well, it is Friday and this week went way smoother than last. Thank you Lord. The emailing situation is resolved... Thank You Andrea!!



We have an appointment for Chase Monday at HMC for another Hyda-scan. (yes he will be late for his first day of school as a senior!!!) This will make three in two years. I believe he is having gall bladder trouble. I am familiar with this due to myself and Kelly have had gall bladder removals and it took away our pain. Chase is dealing with the same stuff.. One hyda-scan showed his gall bladder was NOT working right and the last one said it WAS.. sooo. I am at a loss for what to do if this one comes back OK?? We have done all the test that you can imagine that has anything to do with his digestive system. All came back fine. He gets nauseated and hurts in his right shoulder and neck after he eats a fatty or greasy meal. He has gotten sick a few times. Keep us in your prayers for these test results!!

A GREAT COMPANY!!!

United Country is the best company. We have been having trouble with our email, being flagged as spam through Charter. A couple of calls to the home office and they have worked on it and got the problem solved. We are so lucky to have such a great group of folks working so hard for us in Kansas City. They are all appreciated very much!!!

Computers and a Crazy Week!!

I am so thankful for this weekend. This has been a crazy week at the office. We have been on the phone with Charter with email problems. They said it was not them, so we get on the phone with Microsoft for 3 hours. They said it was not them. So we do some test on Robert's computer it turns out it is not his computer. Sooo we get back on the phone with Charter 3 different times. Finally the last time Andrea(bless her heart)who is dealing with this (after 3 or 4 days of me dealing with it I was just about to go over the edge so she took it over)She finally got someone on the phone from Charter that actually knew what they were doing. Guess what IT WAS CHARTER AFTER ALL!!! Well it is fixed "sorta" and we will have to deal. It is so frustrating for people to keep passing blame. Several times we got on the phone and was sent from one person to another and then after about an hour we somehow got cut off! HUH Go figure that! Do you think it was an accident?? I don't. I think if you are being difficult some of them will just hang up on you!! The thing is you can't get back to that one person!! Well it is over now and maybe Monday will be better. It is a wonderful life and I am blessed. I went by and seen my Tootie after work Friday and she made everything better!!! She is my sweetie Pie!! Love ya Tootie!!

I Love and So Appreciate This Girl!!

Hardworking, Honest, Motivated, Sweet, Helpful, Self Starter, is just a few words to describe this person. Andrea worked for us as a teen at Chic-N-More. She started to work at 16 and stayed with us for years and worked her way up to a Management Position. Robert almost did not hire her because when she came in for the interview she was dressed real nice and he told her "he could not picture her mopping floors and scrubbing bathrooms". She told him "just give me a chance and I will show you" and SHE DID!! She is still working for us at United Country River City Realty. She is on time and is always busy. She will find something to do. She has no down time. She can't sit still. I have described her as a "Hummingbird in a Shoe Box" Jim Graves our RVP describes her as a "Rat Terrier On Acid".LOL She never stops. She is a great mother to two wonderful Boys, Hunter and Tanner. She is married to a really nice guy, Chris and they make such a cute couple.

She is always there for anyone who needs her. Which I do a lot. She is always trying to help make my job easier, even when she has more than she can do. I have told everyone the she is the only person I know that I would trust with; My Money, My Husband and My Kids(and now my grandbaby too) I can't really thank her enough for going above and beyond what is expected of her. So, Thank you Andrea for everything you do and I hope we will work together until we are too old to work!!

It's Monday!

Well, it's Monday. It seems that Monday is always a crazy day. Gettin' out the door to work and trying to get everything caught up is a chore. Throw in a couple of closings and pending sale or two, plus the everyday stuff, you look up at the clock and it is time to go home. I guess that is one good thing about it, the day goes by real quick. I am thankful that we have a good business and good people to work with. I am really thankful that Robert and I get to work together everyday. Lots of Husbands and Wives could not do it. We have done it for so long we don't know any different!!! Well tomorrow is Tuesday and we will do it all over again. It is a good life!!!
