Our Lives = Buckle

Ok ok I know it has been a while and I wish I had pictures this time, but I will add some hopefully tomorrow. Exciting news is that Sean's store officially opens up tomorrow morning July 16. On Tuesday night we had a friends and family night which turned out great and we even had a ton of people who just wanted to shop come in the store. The turnout was better than expected. Also he went ahead and opened the store up this morning just because of the turn out the night before and had another great day! It is so awesome watching Sean do his thing a work and you can see the excitement in his eyes about this new store. We really are blessed with how life is going right now and are extremely grateful for all the opportunities we have been given with Buckle. Yesterday I actually got to go to Sean's store with other Assistant Managers and Manager Trainees to learn from each other as well as team all of Sean's new teammate. Those poor kids their brains were thinking INFORMATION OVERLOAD! We love Buckle and now our families love Buckle, its just so much fun, sorry, but you are going to be hearing about it for a while because that is really all we have time for right now.

We also have to thank Sean's parents for letting us chill at their casa while we are searching for a house. We put a bid on one, but knew we probably wouldn't get it and we didn't which is fine that just means I can save more money!

Today is Flag Day!!

Life has been busier this week than normal. Sean drove into Plano Wednesday night and thankfully he arrived here safely after the horrible storm he drove through for six long hours. What a trooper! Earlier that day I had gone to reserve us a storage unit since we are going to be living at Sean's parents house while we are looking for a house. Typically the storage unit stays open until 9, but she said that she would keep it open for us till midnight since we really didn't know what time Sean would be arriving. So we go up there at 9:20pm and guess what it was closed, I was very frustrated just because I wanted to get it all done before the next day of having to work. So the next morning we tried at 8, but then system was broke because of the storm we had that night so again we had to drive back. Finally we just decided to call and then later that day Sean and his brothers unloaded everything in the storage unit. I did feel bad because for one Sean had to move everything into the truck without me, drive here without me, and then unload it into storage without me. All in all I think he actually liked it better that way to so I wasn't telling him how to do everything he could just do it him self.

Anyway life is good here in Dallas. All of Sean's siblings were here today for church and it is a lot of fun with all us kids around. We are still getting use to no nap on Sundays because church is from 12:30 to 3:30.

Sean is already working as best as he can. His store will be finished this Tuesday and he gets all his fixtures on Thursday. He is already setting up interviews and making game plans for the store opening which is July 16th. Me on the other hand, well work is good but tough. They are going to name a new manager this week hopefully and almost everyone is quitting because their manager quit. I think it is good though because now we can get people in there and teach them from scratch. I really like working at the Buckle in Dallas opposed to Clovis because for one people do not reject you as bad and second they are very open minded and will be a good sport about trying on clothes.

Dallas here we come!!

This past week we were on vacation with Sean's family. (I will blog about that later) We were hoping to have already heard something about Sean getting the new Buckle store in Garland, TX. The 3rd day of vacation we were at the beach and we must have been in the water because we never heard our phones ring. Finally when we got to the car we checked our phones and we both had missed calls from his area manager. So Sean calls him back and they FINALLY OFFICIALLY offer him the store. Of course he accepted!! His store opens up July 22 or 23 and he moves back to Dallas on June 17. I am staying here in Dallas with his parents because I am going to be working at the Buckle in Plano. We are both excited and ready to start this new journey. I know Sean is going to be busier than busy but he likes that kind of stuff. We have been so blessed living in Clovis even though we didn't think so when we first moved there, but it has been a great place with wonderful people. We are really going to miss it and our great friends.
