Cubicles

Agh... Can I just tell you how much I hate cubicles. Right now our sales office is in a entrepreneur launch office and I am in a cubicle along with 40 other new businesses and it is so distracting listening to other peoples conversations when they have nothing to do with what you are trying to work on. The worst is when they have a conference call on the speaker phone. Its 10:16 and the head phones are already on.

I know all I do is blog about work, I guess its because I kinda feel confused and not sure where this job is going to take me. If only I had the glass globe to show me what I am supposed to be doing. When I first started at Sage Displays the whole idea was that I would help Dave and Tammi run and build this company. Well business has been SO SLOW and now all the sudden I have become the Project Manager instead of just doing everything. So the things that were keeping me busy all day is not part of my responsibilities, and I have nothing to do because there aren't enough jobs coming in to keep me busy. I guess only time will tell until I know what I really need to be doing.

On a side note thanks Whit and Chels for your suggestions, we actually just went to Loews about the concrete stain and they told us everything we needed to get the job done. We are going to start it this weekend so ill have to post some picture.

PS I am really starting to dread Tuesdays: Leg Day! I seriously almost puked at the gym today. Stupid Keaton taught me not to stop doing legs until 1 you collapse, or 2 puke. Mission accomplished.

So today it is now 12:08, Tammi called me at 8:00 to say that they were shipping a clients display and will be in shortly.... hmm still not here. My computer is a P.O.S and wont start so here I am on my laptop full of frustrations and desperately feeling like its time for a change. How do you grow a small business when your resources are limited and the only one motivated.

This is to hope of better days!

We are finally finishing my parents basement and walls are up and ready to paint but the next step is the floor. We are going to stain the concrete which will look so awesome but we do have a problem of not knowing where to start.. Any ideas??

PS Im not trying to complain... just extremely bored!

Meeting last week was very interesting and not so much what I had expected. Looking at my last post and then reliving the actual experience its quite comical. Picture 250 completely wasted women in mini skirts, and music. Haha not quite the environment I was expecting and really quite a waste of time. What I was expecting was completely based off of Tammi's experience last year and after the drastic change of this year I think we both decided that it is really not worth our time or money next year. I did however make some new friends the hope is that they will remember me next time I see them.

The last two weekends we have been up at my grandparents cabin. Can I just tell you how beautiful and green it is up there is Heber City. It still amazes me that there is still snow up on the very top of the mountains and summer is almost over.

Today is my non-motivating day, and my bosses are driving me crazy. I think sometimes its unhealthy to spend this much time with a married couple that are always HAPPY... and I could be slightly tired and cranky...

Have a great day!!

Bad Blogger

I cant believe it has been an entire year since I have last blogged. Jake always tells me I need to take pictures more often which is probably one of the main reasons I stopped blogging, and because life has changed so much I just didnt think to stop and document. But really life is great, Jake and I have changed so much in the last year its crazy to look back and think what last summer was like. We each have new jobs and actually feel like we are starting a career, which is exciting, but also kinda intimidating.

Tonight my boss and I are attending a banquet for the Salt Lake Chamber where there are going to be over 300 successful women, to be completely honest I am freaked out. I have never been very good with girls and I am noticing more often the more events I attend people give me the look like "what is this teenager doing at an event like this" I feel like my drive and motivation is so much more advance than my looks and the only time I really get intimidated is when I have to network with these wise and advanced successful women who often look at me like a child. I need to find a way tonight to show that I may be young but I am smart and educated, and have a drive and potential to be successful that most people my age never have. One day I will be that hot shot business woman I just really need to get over the fear of how people judge my appearance. I want to be taken seriously, and I want to get a ton of business out of tonight's event.

Well I guess I will let my nerves to keep taking a toll on me. Wish me luck.

By the way hope everyone is doing well. And I will try and do better. School starts soon, 15 credits and working full time might take over my life.

I am sure many of you are wondering where the Heck we have been, well the question my friends is where havent we been. I am happy to say that my summer has been way to busy to spend time in front of my computer blogging (and its also my excuse for just not doing it). We have had such a fun exciting summer and am so sad to see it is coming to an end. Really though it will be nice our poor swamp cooler just cant find a way to keep the small 1000 sqft home cool. We have had our days where we cant step foot in the house, which is probably why we have found many other ways to spend our evenings.

After my last post we headed to Vegas for Keat and Jens 1 year anniversary. We seriously had a blast and learned something new about all of us on that trip.


In June Jake was lucky enough to fill in for someone who got hurt right before Ragnar and couldnt run the race. So Jake without any training came and concured Ragnar Hill (the mother of all hills). He loved it so much that somehow he convinced me to do it next year. I am not a runner so I seriously and wondering what I got myself into but it will be fun, my whole Snow side of the family put together a team and with all of our competitiveness it should be a riot!

(Their team had something to do with underwear)

Over the 4th of July we cruised down to lake Powell with my Fam, I dont think many words to need to said to explain how much fun we had. Lets just say we look forward to it every year, if we had to choose Hawaii or Powell.... it would be Powell!

(for those of you who noticed that I am not in this picture, just know that someone had to keep watch of the boat, and also get a perfect tan while doing so.. it was the only pic I could find of the whole group)

Best news of all....I finally got a Mountain Bike. I have been wanting one for years and years and finally we decided to stop being such tight wads and just buy the dang thing. Its been alot of fun, but also discouraging. I have never realized how difficult it is to ACTUALLY Mountain bike, All I can say is thank you helmet for saving my life haha.




Here are more pics of our summer from the Morgan Property, Jersey loving life (she is such a swimmer I cant believe it. we took her to Willard one weekend and she seriously swam for like 4 hours straight, there is no doubt in my life that if I was in danger should would save me)

(Jerseys BFF for Life.. AKA FLEX)





(Jake got a 22 this year, and I seriously loved it. Hopefully next year I can get one)




Oh and to keep you all updated this weekend we went up to the cabin and Hiked Stewart Falls, It was beautiful probably the best Hike I have ever been on. So all you hikers out there get your butt there before the summer is over because its totally worth the drive to what my family calls it stinky utah county!
