Catching up...

Hello everyone!
So it has been a long long time... the thing is that we have no internet access so we rarely ever even get on the computer and when we do we check our mail and that is it. But today we have time and we are going to write. Well to start off if you didn't know we are back in good ol' Utah. We were in Chicago selling Pest Control but it wasn't working out. It wasn't that bad of a job either. Basically you just have to eat, sleep, and dream pest control. We had a lot of good training though on how to sell and stuff like that and it is very useful. The guys we worked with were just so good at what they do so they were a big help. We probably could have made a good deal of money but who knows. We had to drive about 1 hour to our spots to sell everyday and 1 hour home and in Chicago gas was about $4.15 everywhere so that was no fun. We did take 2 guys with us all the time but they were so broke like us that they couldn't help us out. We got payed in increments so for every sale we made $100 dollars but they break that up into 4 different pay periods so you only make $25 for each sale then $25 a month later then at the end in October and February that is when you see the big money. So we were only selling like 4 a week maybe so you really have nothing to live on until you start selling like crazy and it just wasn't happening. We spent one month there and I (britta) got 11 which was the best for first years and then Braxton had 6. So needless to say no money so we left. The only thing we miss is the way sweet town home that we had. It was so nice and we probably will not live in anything like that for 10 years so it will be missed.
That takes us back to Utah. We came to Utah with 600 dollars and our stuff. Well it took about 300 to get home so it left us with $300 dollars and we weren't even certain we would have a job yet. But when we got back we got our jobs within the week and we were on our way to making money again. We lasted though for 3 weeks with no income.. how? i dont know. All of our money went to gas and food. We have been eating burritos, cup of noodles and cereal for weeks. But we are still alive and managing to do it for another 2 weeks. It will be great to taste real food again.
We are so lucky to be back at Costco again though. We were told that they don't do rehires usually and they brought both of us back without any hesitation. I am on the Front End again and not liking it but i suck it up and do what i'm told. Braxton was rehired back in the produce area for a week and then they transfered him to night merch for a couple weeks. Then out of nowhere they transfered him back into the bakery where he will probably stay for a bit. He hates it in the bakery and would rather be out on the floor but he is getting a lot of hours in so that is nice.
All in all we are doing really good. We are getting really excited for our family reunion that is coming up soon. Adios
