The seasons are changing and it's beautiful. Soon there will be snow on the ground, decorations everywhere have started to go up and the biggest meals you will ever eat are soon to be served. The last few months of the year are filled with so much activity and family time it's somewhat overwhelming. Thankfully if you have storage to keep all of the things that make these last few months possible, then you have one less thing to worry about. It's also beneficial when you need to get your boat into storage so it's protected and ready to whip out the first gorgeous day of the summer.

Ive had a lot of customers lately who are going overseas for their job. I think it would be so cool to work in another country. Its awesome that storage companies can provide a safe place for these people to keep their things while they temporarily relocate. I dont know what I would do if I had to give up my things in a situation like that. With businesses being so advanced in technology its nice too when they have the ability to take payments online or over the phone. Long distance storage has really come a long way and made it easier for this demographic.

I remember when i had to make the move from arkansas to alabama about 6 years ago.  we had just bought and re-did a old house and we had only been in the house for 6 months. so we had to re pack up everything and we had some moving company come and the movers pack up the rest of the house to put it on the truck for the long journey and it was a longgg journey. but it was well worth it.

so i was told i could come in to blog for a few hours today and monday so i figured what the heck.  i had an hour to spare before i picked up my godson from daycare so why not come get some hours in? my story of the day is i saw a car driving on the highway on the way to work and they had so much clothes in there car it looked like the car hatchback would barely close.  The thing is ive seen this same car a few times so its not like there in the process of moving and is transfering clothes they live with this stuff in there car on a daily basis.  im thinking they may need to call storage mart for a little 5x10 storage. Its not expensive and it almost made me want to flag them down just to tell them about a little mini storage or something.

I have been in the process of moving with a few friends of mine and it is such a hassle.  We came upon this greattttt deal with storage mart about this really cheap storage for 99 percent discount so something about the first 2 months are only 1 dollar for storage? that is awesome and i have never heard of anything like that.  i am thinking about getting my own storage for all of my crap.

yeah. im excited i just did my first blog but still not that i cannot put an exclamation mark.  thats going to be a big problem because im big on those marks.  im even more excited that i get to leave here at 5 today which is more than enough time to go home, sleep, and get up and get dressed to go party with my best friend christina who also happens to work here at phone smart.  One thing is i have been in the process of moving and most of my clothes are at christinas house in her garage and its always a hassle to drive all the way to her house to get clothes, so i have been thinking about getting my own little 5x10 storage space to store my bedroom set which is also just sitting in her garage.
