We found out yesterday that we'll be spending our summer in Little Rock, Arkansas! For those of you who don't know, Darren works for Apx Alarms during the spring/summer break from BYU. He's one of those guys who knocks on your door and tries to sell you a home security sytem. This will be our third summer adventuring off to a new place for the summer sales job. Our first summer we spent in Louisville, Kentucky and last summer we were in Hartford, Connecticut. I absolutely loved both of the previous destinations. This summer will be Darren's first summer as a co-manager. His first pick (along with the other manager) for this summer was to return to Louisville. Unfortunetly they weren't high enough on the draft to get Louisville as their pick this summer, but they are still very excited to be going to Little Rock (the burglary rates are higher than average there!). My personal vote was for Nashville when they couldn't get Louisville, but that's just because I wanted so badly to be near to Kentucky--it's just so beautiful there!! I have some studying up to do on Arkansas. I'm sure once I find out more about the area that I will be very excited and come to love that part of the country too.
I would just like to add for those who don't know, that working for Apx (http://www.iamapx.com/) has been such a blessing for us. We feel very fortunate to be working for a company that has allowed us to spend only 4 months of the year working (besides recruiting during the off-season) and spending the fall and winter months focusing on school, not work. By the time we graduate from BYU we will have no student debt and we will own both of our cars. There's not too many jobs out there for a student that allow you this opportunity! Anyway, just wanted to publicly count this blessing :o)
