"i don't want to fall out"
Jordan and I went whitewater rafting on Saturday... and "i don't want to fall out" is what I kept repeating to Jordan while on the 10 minute bus ride to the starting point of our trip. While on the bus, the tour guide thought he was being funny and scared me a little too much about falling out of our raft and "dying!" He actually said you could DIE. And he said not to try and stand up if I happened to fall out because the current would pull me under and I would "die." UGH. I was so nervous and hearing him say that did not comfort my nerves! But by the middle of the trip I realized there was nothing to be worried about and he was just exaggerating!
Jordan and I had a lot of fun and can't wait to again! :)

Catching up on June
Lets see...
Hmmm... Oh yes, I wanted to mention our BBQ Sundays. Every sunday since we've been working out here in Knoxville we have had an employee bbq. Usually it consist of some type of game, like football, corn hole, frisbee or just a swim in the pool. It's fun and makes the stresses of the week fade away. We look forward to it every week and I'm glad we can all enjoy a day together.
Well, I think thats all for now! :)
I recently started 1.5 jobs. One as a cashier at Target, and the .5 is just fill-in work in the office that Jordy works for, on an as needed basis. I went from none to two and I am very grateful and excited. :) Oh, and working at "Tarjay" I get a 10% discount!
ALSO.....Happy Father's day! I hope every dad had the best day and really got to enjoy spending time with their families!
ALSO.....Happy Father's day! I hope every dad had the best day and really got to enjoy spending time with their families!I'm not sure if everyone is aware of Redbox. It is an amazing thing, let me tell ya. You rent a $1 movie... $1.09 to be exact and just return it before 9pm the next day. 
Well, my friend gave me a *free* code, not that a dollar is much but with this economy I guess saving just a single dollar here and there makes a big difference. The code is DVDONME. I cheated and have used it 6 times. The trick is to used a different debit/credit card each time you use the code.... is that bad that I can actually use 6 different cards? Credit cards are evil. haha. And I have 2. Which means Jordan has 3 and we have 1 bank card. Sometimes they do come in handy, like when your car breaks down, or purchasing an airline ticket, or building your credit. But they also hurt your credit more than they do good, and when you think, "oh I'll just use my credit card today, it wont hurt", then 20 times later you have a bill bigger than Texas. I guess I'm getting a little sidetracked but Redboxes are superduper and a cheap way of entertainment.

Keepin' the guys motivated
Earlier this week the wives/girlfriends of all sales reps had a little craft day. We made sales tracking posters for all the guys to keep them motivated and striving for their goals. Jordan had all the sales reps write down their goals, big or small, weekly and monthly so we could make sure to incorporate them on their poster. Each one was unique and personally related to their interests. It was a fun little project and a nice way to get to know the other girls out here. We had snacks, fun conversations and just an all around good time making these posters, which I heard all the guys loved! 
Here is Jordan's... for each sale, he moves up the basketball net. 125 is his total summer goal, and the 3 highlighted ones are his monthly goals.

Downtown Knoxville
Today I walked around the World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville. They have a Sunsphere there that you can take an elevator to the top and see the whole city (for free!). There was a fountain for kids to run through, which was perfect for the hot, sunny day today. It was a nice relaxing day and I'm sure I will be there a few more times this summer.
