Easter and our First Week in Knoxville

So Jade and I just experienced our first week here in Knoxville, and how fun it has been so far. We have met a few of the other married couples most of which have children which is awesome! Most of our team is still not here and will not arrive till this coming week. Jade is glad we came out early so he can get some experience in before everyone gets out here. We both have learned a lot about the ways of selling. Jade is learning not to get down when potential sales don't pass their credit checks or they cancel after the sale. I am learning to be upbeat and positive. We have learned from other couples who have been saleing longer (some have been doing this every summer for the past 7 years) that it's all about our attitude and how positive we can be and it's been great for us to learn that. We also just experienced our first Easter in a long while without family. I have a feeling that our group will be close so it does help. Jessica, the managers wife, and I thought it would be a good idea to have a BBQ. So we invited all the single guys and gal to a park not far from our place and we had so much fun. They played volleyball, roasted hot dogs and there was a playground for the kids. The park is absolutely beautiful. There is sooo much water it even had a little swimming area and fishing. But no, Jade did not fish I was surprised. Everything is going great here it's been an adventure so far but we're thinking it will be a great summer!

I caught this turtle at the pond by our apartments. It was smaller than a quarter but I don't know what kind it is.

There are a lot of sail boats out in the water around the park.




There is a swimming area for whoever wanted to swim it was still a little to cold for us.
