"where have you been?" -- edmond

san francisco and stillwater brings us almost to october. i started in edmond the last week of september and temporarily moved in with travis's aunt sue and uncle jim. it's been really nice.
sue and jim have been so kind and living with them has been a little bit like being on vacation. there's not a lot of chaos around the house. we can sit and watch television together at the end of the night and unwind, or i can catch up on my shows online in my room if i just want to veg out and be alone.

the store has been doing well. we are up almost 50% above target since i started at the store and each week we are congratulated for our conversion. it's been a lot of fun to see the store improve and grow while i've been there.

on october 10th and october 17th all of the employees turned into christmas elves as we worked together until 3:30 in the morning to transform the store into a winter wonderland.

i've been spending about 90% of my time in edmond, and since my schedule has required me to work every weekend, the boys have been coming to see me. travis has been loading up the truck and he and conor have spent lots of time visiting with me, hanging out with tabitha and her boys, and relaxing with sue, jim, tabby, and ashley.

it's so funny because we really don't talk about it, but travis and i both get house fever more when we're in edmond together. and we both consider it as a place to call home. it's the only place in oklahoma outside of tulsa that we've ever considered as home. it's really funny that we feel that way. i think it's because we both feel like it's a vacation. it's laid back and comfortable.

my time there will be ending soon {more on that in my next post} and i'll be sad to see it come to a close.
