Thanks for the compliments!

Hey everyone! It's been a little bit of a challenging week this week with work. Which either lead me to remember a few things or forced me to remember a few things! Anyway, if I ever get down, which isn't often, I try to do or think of things to bring me back up! Plus there is always someone who is worse off than me! So I started thinking about a few things that have been said to me or Teddy just since this first of the year! So hear goes!

These are from our employees:
"you guys are so good to me! I'm learning something new everyday"

"I've never been this happy at a job before! I can't wait til our season kicks in"

"My family says they can see a change in me. that I'm a much happier person now."

" I love my job"


These are from customer:
"my husband said when we left here the other day, 'I've got a gut feeling about those people, I wanna go business with them', and here we are picking which one we want!"

"I'm buying from you becuase you make me feel comfortable"

"You live for the sell don't you?"

"We can tell how passionate you are with your business"

"that's it, were done? y'all make this too easy!"

"your Boaters 101 is priceless"


So I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone! Small comments and compliments can can a LONG way! Thanks for brightening my day both when you said then and down the road when I needed them!

So say something nice to someone today and give them a smile! It goes a long way!

What a wonderful weekend!

So, having been freezing my hiny off for the last month and a half.........we FINALLY got some good, warm weather, that just happen to fall on the weekend! We have really needed a good couple of days of sunshine and warmth! It's amazing how a little sunshine and being outside can recharge your soul! We were ready to hit the ground running today! It started getting a little warm Friday which led to us being busy at the dealership and selling a boat! YAY! Plus we had some GREAT prospects that I think will come back soon! This lead into a nice relaxing evening....which was needed. Seems like we'd had a lot going on since the first of the year!

Then came Saturday! WOW! Beautiful day and we are obviously not the only ones thinking about boating and being on the water! Teddy, Myself, and Joe(our new guy) were all with customers the ENTIRE time we were open! It was nice to be back outside in warm weather showing boats! Then we headed home for a quick break before we were to go meet with my family for some bday celebrations. It's so hard to get everone together...we did 4 in one shot! My dad was gone the whole month of January, then there was the boat show, etc. So we celebrated, dad's birthday(Jan7th), mine(Feb.4th), Angie, who is now 40 (Feb14th), and Christie's (March 16th). At least our birthday's are somewhat close??? We'll celebrate Christie's again but without dad. But when we get together.....it's not a quick dinner :) So it was VERY dark and well into the night when we left to head home! BUT, we did make a trip to Harriman so we could see our new billboard at night! Which, by the way, looks AWESOME!!!

Finally Sunday arrives which happens to be the best of the 3 days!!!!! We slept in, lounged around some, and spent a lot of time outside! Again, it feels SOOOO good to be outside! We attempted to do a little bank fishing. I know, it's hard to believe that WE didn't take a boat out! It was a hard decision for us, really! Then we loaded up and went to the Roane County Park! It was nice to see everyone out and about. Sugar, our dog thinks she a giant attack dog though. She was even barking at a German Sheppard! It was cute though and EVERYONE wanted to play with her! Cara had a blast on the playground sets they have there and didn't want to leave! But we then went home and Teddy cooked us some GREAT, scallops, shrimp, and Flounder that we had picked up @ the Shrimp Dock! MMMMMmmmmm it was ALL so tastey and good! We then watched a movie and the Olympics.........aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!

What a wonderful weekend!

2010 Here we go....

Well, I obviously have not updated in a LONG time! But part of my resolution is to be better at keeping everyone updated! So to fill you in since the last blog...........long story short, we did a lot of GREAT traveling, had some great holidays, and BAM!!!! 2010 is here! We are VERy excited about this year and what it may bring! We are already up in our business, had some pretty snow, and are already hitting the gound running with work!

Work should run a little smoother this year since we hired 2 new guys to help us out! So We should get to spend more time with Cara and our Friends.

Right now the Boat Show is going on and we are VERY busy! It has been very cold and I keep looking at warm pics from our travels over the Fall/Winter so I thought I'd share a few!

Here ya go.......

Can you tell we like water???
