Honesty Pays!

So, funny story. I got on to check my email and I had a random message from Zappos.com. It came to my gmail account, so this was especially weird cause I don't give that address to anyone but family and friends- meaning it gets NO spam, which is nice! So I thought it was kinda odd.

.

When I opened it, it said I had been sent a Gift Certificate for $100.00 to use at Zappos.com. At this point, I still thought it was just spam.

.

As I kept reading I realized that this was real- a real gift certificate! I started to get somewhat excited - zappos has great stuff! But as I read on, my excitement dissipated!

.

The email said I had been sent a gift certificate from Mardee Brennan for $100.00. It even had the gift certificate code and everything! I was super confused, seeing as how I have NO idea who Mardee Brennan is! As I read a little further, it said there was a note with it.

.

The note said "Happy Birthday RaRa."

.

.

This is when I knew it wasn't for me.

.

bummer.

.

.

I scanned the entire email, looking for Mardee's email, but ALAS! Is was not there. so I called the customer service # for Zappos. I explained what had happened and that the certificate wasn't meant for me, and I was met with a moment of silence. The woman on the other end of the line was quiet for a minute and then she said "Wow. I can't believe you called." I asked why. "Well, most people would have just used the certificate, and not cared who it was meant for." I told her I didn't think that was very honest, and she started seeing what she could do about it. She ended up finding the senders account, and said she would contact her to find out where the gift certificate was meant to go.

.

So, I didn't get a gift certificate for $100.00. The woman kept talking for a minute explaining what Zappos was like and what they offered, and I told her that I had been to the site before and knew kinda what they were about. She then said "If its alright with you, I'd like to create a Zappos.com account for you, and because you were so honest, I'd like to give you a $50 gift certificate." I was more than a little stunned! I told her she didn't have to do that- really it was no big deal, but she insisted! So YAY! I have a $50 gift certificate to Zappos.com! And the best part- they have free shipping, so she said if the item I want is under $50 I won't pay a cent! I was pretty excited!

.

So yeah. Honesty pays! :)

.

I'll let you know what I get when I find something!

And just a funny side note- I was super excited, and one of the first things I thought of was "Oh, I am SO going to blog about this!"

I say again, who knew I'd become such an avid blogger!

.

K. thats all!

So, you may as well find out sooner, rather than later . . .

So, we were going to wait until we heard something, but since there was a comment made on one of our posts, we probably should tell you peeps whats going on. (No, I'm not pregnant!)

So, it's quite difficult to find a job in the field Steve is in here in this area- with so many college students and stuff! That being the situation, we have been looking a bit farther away later. (For example, the most recent application was for a job in Afton, Wyoming.)

Why is this such a big secret you may ask? Well, if you ask that question, then you don't know the Southern family very well!!! See, every single member of our family - all nine children and their families - and the 'rents still live in Utah County! And, some of the family members- while they have the best intentions- tend to . . . . maybe . . . . um not like the idea of family leaving! I mean, Steve and I are not sure what is going to happen, but there is a possibility that we may be leaving the state! (Sorry Jan and Jenn!!)

Again, nothing is set- we just didn't want people to find out from someone else and think we didn't want them to know!!! So, now everyone can know, and everyone can give us their advice! (cause we'd love to have it- we really would!)

Also, with the job hunt it can't hurt to have too many eyes! So if any of you see any job openings in the communications industry (phone, internet, tv . . . stuff like that)- installing, managing, etc- please let us know!
