a little road trip

Well, I have done a little bit of driving since my last post, as you can see in this little mapquest image. Last Saturday we packed up the bags in our Virginia office and we transferred everything we could muster back to Alberta to finish off the summer.

I won't bore you with all the details, but it had to do with licensing issues, a saturated markets, overwhelming heat and humidity, and a desire to be back in Canada. We didn't have a lot of time to make this decision. In fact, last Friday we decided to leave, Saturday by 2:00pm we were on the road and we arrived in Lethbridge at 9:00am on Saturday morning. (After about 38 hours driving). We spent the night in Lethbridge, and then we were off to Edmonton to finish off our summer of selling ADT security systems.

So far things are looking up, besides the fact that I cannot stop thinking about going home, I have sold two systems in the past two days... when I had only three in my past three weeks in Virginia. I got to see Wesla on Monday when I was in Lethbridge, and I will get to see her again when she comes up for the weekend for a wedding here in Edmonton.

Anyone who knows me is well aware of my desire to have things well planned out... this has been a really challenging experience, learning to roll with the punches and trust that I will land on my feet after a bit of craziness in between.
