1St week In Heaven, I mean TEXAS!

I have been down in Texas for a little over a week now and I have taken residence in my brother's apt and couch in Hurst, TX. I have really enjoyed the area Caleb lives in and I have also enjoyed hanging out with my baby brother. 
Work as been been a whirlwind of all the usual 'getting to know you' and 'getting to know the store' type of activities. My new Whole Foods is in Arlington, right up the street from Texas stadium and the ballpark in Arlington. The prep foods team that I am working with is a great group of hard working, long time team members who really know what they are doing. The sales are slower than I am use to but I consider that a blessing that I can  try to help them grow. This week has really been great and I am so happy that I already feel at home in my new store and soon be contributing to the team like I really hope to do! 
My head is still spinning, this whole process has been extremely fast and furious. That's been a blessing in its self. I work well with a quick past life, my poor wife is opposite of me and it has been a little trying on her. Cindy has been amazing and has had to watch the kids and pack solo in Colorado. What a woman!! We only have have a few more days until the second phase of our move to Texas starts. Until then, lots of phone calls and texts.

  1. So thankful you are liking your new job. Cindy is a ROCK! I am inspired by all the things she is taking care of with the house sale, repairs, packing AND taking care of 2 kids. I think Bethany told me at least 20 times how her DaDa has a new job in TX and they are going to TX soon. She was counting the days she could go get you at the airport.

  2. Thanks for the update. I've been wondering how things have been going on your end. Once you get settled in, we need to make a trip to Arlington and get a tour of your new work place!
