The fall of an empire . . .

So in case not everyone has heard the bad news by now, Borders Inc. has officially filed for bankruptcy. With this knowledge hundreds of Borders books, music and cafe around the world are closing their doors. On this list is a store that I have grown to love and refer to it as my second home. Borders in Logan, Utah: Store number 553 is a store that I spent every single day at for three years of my life. Although I have not worked there for a little over a year now, I still feel the sadness that previous co-workers are going through. I still feel connected to each one and I hope that they are able to find jobs quickly. I have many friends (though the one's who work there I have always referred to them as my borders family) that are directly effected by this tragedy. There are far to many people to name them all, but for all the staff both past and present . . . God bless you in this time of grief. It has been an honor working with you all. Even though Borders may be gone, we are still family. I will alway remember the wonderful memories and friends that I have made in a small bookstore on main street in the tiny town of Logan, Utah. Until next time . . . keep it real!

Flippin' February . . .

Well as usual dear blogging world, nothing much has happened so far this month. I am still trying to research graduate school and save up for the GRE's. . . Not much studying being done however. I really do need to be better at that. My life is still stuck in a circle, I do the same thing day in and day out. Getting really bored of it too. SO I have been unsuccessful at leaving my rut but I am still trying. I do keep my self pretty busy though between work, dance, zumba and Mary Kay it seems that I am hardly ever home. I spend more time in my car then anywhere else. My family is going to take a "vacation" next weekend and head up to the Cabin in Island Park. Hopefully it will be funner than last year. Last year was filled with WAY to much drama for me. So keep your fingers crossed that all will go off without a hitch. Perhaps if Uncle Dale is nice enough he will let Logan borrow his extra pickup shell so we can bring the dogs with us! I will keep you posted on how the whole trip goes. Until next time . . . keep it real!
