Thanks to Katie and Heather for the link-up!

Today is a bittersweet day.  It's my last day with my FTN Financial family before next week's move.  My marketing department that I have worked with have been my Memphis family and sisters to me.  

When I came to Tennessee three years ago, we didn't know anymore.  I got pregnant shortly afterwards and Russell's new position immediately had him traveling.  It was hard to feel "settled" and it felt pretty lonely.  

It wasn't until I started with FTN Financial, three months after we moved, that I really started cheering up.  I was working with four other talented women and we were the marketing group in charge of a 500+ person company.  We didn't outsource anything...we did everything.  Brochures, videos, advertisements, websites, etc., we were the gals.

These women have become my family and have taught me so much along the way.  Today will be a hard day for me... having to say goodbye.  

I mean, this awesome group took me out to dinner at Babalu's in Memphis and gave me a send off that involved a bottle of Tequila and fireworks! (Oh, and if you are ever in Memphis, you must go to Bablu's.)

Wilmington, NC, you have some big shoes to fill! 

My posts will go on a temporary hiatus next week.  The move beings early next week and won't have Internet until the following Monday, Nov. 2.  I can't wait to come back with news on the move and pictures of the house.  I also have some interviews lined up when I arrive, so fingers crossed a job offer is soon!


XOXO,
Sherri

Woooosah

I am practicing my relaxation breathing today.  Woosah.

We are closing on our new house on next Wednesday and "Houston, we have a problem."  We found out last night that there was a leak with the dishwasher in the new house and it was major.  Now it requires the builder to replace the floors in the kitchen, remove the kitchen island and then replace it, and probably a bunch of other stuff that I can't even think about right now.

So what does that mean for our move?  We don't know when we will close and we will probably be in a hotel for a little while.

Like I said, woosah.

We are pushing for the builder to try and work around the clock to fix everything in time for our Wednesday close, but we won't know until sometime today or tomorrow if that's possible.  

I keep thinking of the positives. 1) The house didn't burn down, 2) Hey, we get brand spankin new floors, and 3) I get to stay in a hotel with a baby and a dog.  Scratch #3, that is in no way a positive. 

In the meantime, you can find me sitting on my couch tonight with a large glass bottle of wine in my hands.

XOXO,

Sherri
