I
have been slowly spreading the word that I will be moving from Tampa to St.
Louis mid-July to start an exciting new job with Hager Companies. I am lucky
enough to have been offered a job that merges my knowledge of the door and
hardware industry with my passion for social media.
I
have been selling Hager products for the entire 20 years I have been in the
industry. It started with hinges and as Hager branched out to locks and closers,
I did too. I found that both the locks and closers were great products, at a
reasonable cost and with lifetime warranties.
That beat any other product that I could offer. My customers have been
satisfied with Hager products. And by
satisfied I mean I never have any complaints about the products! I feel I have
grabbed the brass ring to have this opportunity to be a part of the Hager Team!
As
excited as I am about my new opportunity I am sad to leave my home for the last
17 years and most especially the friends that I have made here. I have been
blessed to have lived in an amazing neighborhood called Seminole Heights and
have never experienced anything like it. People care in this community. People share in this community. I will
miss the many yappy hours, yoga parties and game days. I will miss the sore
muscles that come with constant belly laughs when we gather together. I will
miss my new Relay For Life crew members that I have had the joy of working with
over the past 9 months.
I
know the friendships will survive the new distance and we will become familiar with
Skype and Facetime. I also know I will
be back to visit though I am sad the dogs probably won’t see their girls,
Trixie and Carsen, again.
In
the meantime I am working on downsizing my belongings. That alone might be an entire blog post! The house currently has a contract on
it. Again, amazingly blessed that
neighbors were ready to upsize with their growing family and thought my house,
with its big backyard, would be perfect.
The
only less than bright spot has been trying to find housing in St. Louis. I think I have it settled now. If this is “the place” I can’t wait to share
it with you! Waiting for a lease to be
emailed to me so I can sign and send a deposit!
July
12th is my last day with a-fabco and I roll out of Tampa on July 19th.
