Traveling folk

The past week has been crazy! We went to MN to surprise Freddie's parents and that was very successful! His mom could not believe her eyes, but was SUPER happy to see her little Fraddie-cat...It was fun to spend some time in colder weather, although I missed the snow once again! Why is that I like the snow, but it does not seem to like me!? It snowed the whole week before we got there, and then did not snow a lick while we were there! INSANE! So after spending some much needed time with the in-laws, we said our see ya laters (not a big fan of goodbye's) and boarded a plane to TX! Got to see my now 25 year old baby brother! And spend time with the fam...love it.

Happy Birthday Brother!

He had a GREAT birthday and said that he doesn't feel 25...I hear ya brother...I still think I'm like 23, and act like I'm 12! haha...there were many jokes thrown around...the hubs got to meet my brother's better half i.e. Heather! Good food and good cake were had by all! After 2 fast days in TX it was time to say our see ya later's again, and head back to the dirty south! We had some lunch with my mom before driving an hour to get our precious boys and then headed back to GA! We made it just in time for Freddie to get us a seat at BWW's to watch the Pats lose in the Super Bowl!! All in all it was a very good trip...there were just a few glitches...we finally got Freddie's wedding band thing situated after FOUR months of dealing with morons! I was just so happy to finally deal with some people that still know what customer service is...does anyone else have that problem? I don't know if it is just because I have worked at Nordstrom where they stress customer service, but I feel like there are so many companies now that customer service has become a thing of the past! All of there slogans should be, "once you buy our crap it's not our problem if something happens to it!" Freddie bought me a Louis Vuitton for my graduation present...super excited about the purse...didn't use it when I first got it because I didn't want to take it out of the bag because it was just so pretty, but I decided to take it home to show off what graduating from college gets ya...after 4 days of using my pretty new purse I looked at the bottom of the backside and my blue jean color had transferred onto the purse!!!! I wanted to cry and throw up all at the same time! I couldn't believe that this happened...so thinking that LV would totally take care of everything because of the quality of bags, we called their customer service...she told us to try and wipe it off with a damp washcloth, and if that didn't work take it to a store and they would be able to fix it...great. We took it to a store and do you know what they told us!? Not their problem...it's the jeans fault...there's nothing they can do!!!!!!!! ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!? I haven't been that disappointed in a long time...can't believe that something that expensive would just be ruined like that and that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING the company can do!? Needless to say...I will no longer be a LV customer. I will only buy my stuff from stores that I know have good customer service and want to keep their customers...Never again will I purchase something without asking about the customer service policy first, and if they tell me in a round about way that "once you buy it it's not our problem" I'll put the stuff down and leave!! It's sad that people don't care to help people anymore...I know there are still people and stores out there that will, but it seems to me that there are so many more that won't... Enough of my rant about customer service...and onto one about how frustrating it is looking for a job in a small military town! I have a degree...I think jobs should just float into my realm and allow me to pick from them :) wishful thinking I know. So I will continue to look, and even go place to place (yep, the old fashioned way) to find what I want! As for now, I will continue looking for a job and start sewing again. It's time...I've had a long enough break and I have way too many friends that are having tiny humans to not start sewing again...I need to get to making their presents!! Wooo Hooo!! Bet y'all can't wait!! I'm off for now and will write again soon! Happy Tuesday!
