I firmly believe in the power of the 2 simple words thank and you. When I was younger, I quickly learned that I could have anything I wanted as long as I was grateful (to a point...I never got that telescope I begged for- MOM) (She later got one for Jeffery and he didn't even ask! GRR) I will move on. Every single time Jackson and I interview for jobs we send thank you notes. We try to have them be hand-written on Hallmarks, but sometimes a simple e-mail is all you can get out. Whatever works really. You just need to show your gratitude for their time and consideration. I also think that thank you cards after receiving gifts is a MUST! A MUST! I hate when I take time to go get a gift for a bridal shower, wedding, baby shower, etc. and do not get a note in return. Am I made of money? Do I have endless time to shop for you? NO! So say thank you. Arg! I once got a thank you 8 months after a wedding. Why bother? The note should be out before the guests wonder if you got their gift. (Everyone is now going to be super paranoid about sending me thank you notes- haha)
In other news, Jackson started his new job today. YAY! He thinks he will really enjoy it. He has a nice schedule during training- not even 8 hour days. He was so bummed that the Colts were so bad last night. Hopefully he didn't get too razzed at work today. By the way, we're looking for a Colts garden flag without any luck here in Denver. If someone comes across one and wants to send it our way, we'll glad reimburse you. :) (I'll send a thank you note!)
I think that 2 of my knuckles are broken. I got tripped up on some construction materials last night while walking MacKenzie and slammed my hand into a wooden board. It is super painful and my right hand-of course! (I'm right-handed) I only worked a 1/2 day due to the pain. I have it wrapped now and have iced on and off. Typing is still a killer, but I am a dedicated blogger. ;) It was nice to have a long day at home today as the rest of my week is going to be very busy. Bah.
Happy Monday.
