Where In The World Is Sedro-Woolley?

There's really nothing to special to post on, I figured I should though seeing that we moved into our new place and all. Cameron was really enjoying his job training but starting Thursday he started actually selling at their "sale" which was off site. It was so miserable, slow and cold and he's still out there for the next 3 hours as I write. He's been working practically 12 hour days and the weather has been pretty bad. He did come home with a suntan/burn AND he made his first sale yesterday and in fact he was the first one out of all the new guys hired to make one. That's pretty much par though. He's always successful at whatever he puts his efforts into. Can I just say that I officially dislike salesmen? Not Cameron, of course, he's wonderful, but some of the more experienced guys he works with are creeps. This one guy stole half of Cam's sale. Cam was doing fine, the people really liked him but the lady had to go to work so this other guy that had been watching saw them starting to leave. Now when a customer starts to "walk" as they put it your suppose to "turn" it to another salesperson who can get the sale right then and there. These people weren't walking, she just had to go to work. They gave Cameron all their info and they would be back. This guy didn't know what was going on and stepped in and handed them his card, which apparently ment that they were "married" on the deal (they would have to split it). The people didn't like that other salesman at all and to make a long story short, if Cameron hadn't stuck around with this couple they wouldn't have bought anything. Just because that guy gave his card he assumed that he was entitled to half the money! But that's what all the experienced guys try to do to the newbies. They slip in for just a bit and WHAM! there goes half of their sale! Creeps! Don't worry, Cameron won't let it happen again. He was pretty steamed about it when he got home, but he's prepared to give the next guy that tries that a piece of his mind (and if he wont I will!!). I hate the whole sales mentality. I know that Cameron is a great salesman because he's genuine and cares about the customer, not just getting their money, so I know that there are others out there too, but ohh the one's who are just out there for the kill!!! Creeps! That is of course the nice version of what I'm really thinking.
Anyway, so we moved to this small town called Sedro-Woolley. I know what your thinking "Sedro what? Woolley? What's woolley?" The more I get to know it the more I REALLY like it. Like, I might be able to plant roots here. The people we've met so far have all been really great and it's quite and pretty. We're really close to the mountains. It could be that I'm just so sick of moving that I'm willing to stay ANY where for a long time, but I think this place wont be bad. I would post pictures of my own but my camera seems to be MIA since the move. I'm sure it will show itself soon. Here is the location on a map for those of you who are REALLY confused :)

I had to post this picture of the girls. They're so cute!
