shopping

Well, of course it's almost time for school...up here school doesn't start until after labor day. So, usually we would do school shopping around this time. However, with orders coming up, we don't know when or where we are going. It would be silly to buy winter clothes if we're moving to Texas and silly to buy all kinds of capris and short sleeved shirts if we're moving to MA! So, we're on hold...

About my guy...when we met, and for years after, he was so soft-spoken and laid back. He's still pretty laid-back, but if someone screws up he lets 'em know it! I'm just so proud that he's grown into himself. I think the successes in recruiting has allowed him this personal and professional growth that we all see. Sure, he gets cocky about how good he is, but it's really all a front. He's uncomfortable getting accolades - but wants his recruiters to get as many as they can! So, back to my guy...

Here's an unassuming kid (he was 21) that married a rather strong personality in me. We've both grown, but he has really become confident, a great leader, outspoken, mature, and quite honestly a hard and smart worker. I admire his work ethic and how he can process problems and successes. I went to school for YEARS for a masters and doctorate degree and here he is, doing it all naturally without formal education in such matters as business, management, and leadership. Hmmph.

I've always known what a great person he is. I'm glad that recruiting has nurtured his abilities (and thank you so much for those who helped him along the way - I won't mention names, but I'm sure you know who you are!) so that the rather shy kid I met years and years ago can rise to the top and shine. Here's a kid who went through a lot before we met such as traumatic relationship issues, low EPR scores, in trouble a lot (hence the low EPR scores), but one supervisor - Teddy - helped him get on the right track which is where we met. I'm thankful to recruiting for bringing out the best in my husband -and for all the giggles I've been provided over the years! More to follow...

Enthusiastically,
Jackie
