Things are going very well

I haven't blogged in one month. Sorry about that.
Before I catch everyone up, I would like to say that I am glad that my in laws to the South are doing well and that they escaped those horrible fires without any damage to themselves or their home. Our thoughts were with you everyday. Sorry, Ryan and Megan, time to go back to school! :)

OK...Where to begin. Working at Copart is great! It's such a great atmosphere, everyone is very helpful and since my boss and other co-worker in Communications are a little less busy these days, it's fun to get to know everyone and be more social while also getting more work done.

Copart is a growing company and we have two test markets going on right now that are going to be huge for the company's expansion. I am actually going to be put in charge of one from a communications standpoint so I am really excited about that because I think the idea is genius.

I don't know if anyone has been watching the stock market, in particular Copart stock, but it's one of the most talked about stocks on the NASDAQ today. I would highly advise getting in touch with a stockbroker and buying some of this stock before it gets more expensive. We have an employee stock purchase program through work that I will be eligible for in three months, but won't be able to sign up until June. I have already talked with a stockbroker and am looking into buying some stock before then. It's a great company and only going to get better.

Diana...What can I say? She's great. She hasn't cried yet at KinderCare and loves every minute of it. The teachers love her because she follows directions, stays clean and doesn't seem to be nearly as sick as some of those other kids in her class. She does artwork everyday (it's hanging up framed in our house), eats healthy meals and plays with the other kids. She also loves her teachers. There is a Halloween party on Tuesday so I will post some pictures next week so everyone can see what her school looks like. She's having a blast!

Matt's team has its first game in two weeks. I am really excited about this season. Not only because there are some talented girls on his team, but because I get to go to more games. It's going to be a blast! I am going to be posting pictures of his players on my SmugMug account, so make sure to check it out when you get a chance.
