Sweet Home Alabama, Enjoys The Go!

I got the call Friday, November 12th around 8:30 in the morning. Now, I believe that the early bird catches the worm and I was already on the hunt. I had just finished my morning workout and I was feeling like the day was off to a really good start when my phone rang

... Ring. Ring, Ringgggg...

Now the only people that call me this early in the morning are my mom and my cell phone company when I forget to pay my bill. So, when I looked at my phone and saw a New York area code I was completely surprised. I'm thinking to myself, 'Hmmmmmm, whose this calling from New York? Should I answer or just let it go to voice mail?". After about four rings I decided to answer the phone and boy am I glad I did!!! Here's how the convo went....


Me: Hi, this is Iris. (If I don't know who is calling me I answer the phone this way. It makes me feel all professional.)

Caller: Hi, this is _______ . ( I can not for the life of me remember the lovely lady's name who called me :'-(

Me: Good Morning, _______. (Still can't remember ;-/)


Caller: A few weeks ago you submitted a video entry to become Alabama's Go Nation Representative

Me: Yesssss.....

Caller: Well, I am calling to tell you that you are one of the finalist...

Me: (Inside voice: "YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!")

Caller: We have sent you an email with some forms attached that we need you to read over, print off, get notarized, and email back to us.

Me: Of course! (Inside voice: Where is my pen? Can't find my Pen! Okay, Iris just calm down and STALL!)

Me: Okay..(Pause)... Great..(Pause)... Awesome...(Pause)....I can do that..(Pause)..Yes...(Pause)....May I ask you a quick question?....(Inside voice: WHERE IS MY PEN!)

Caller: Yes, of course.

Me: .....(Pause)......When are the forms due? (Yes, that was the best I could come up with)

Caller: As soon as possible, but no later than Monday Nov. 15th.

Me: Okay, I can do that! No, problem. (Inside voice: By Monday? Ekk, Do Notaries even work on the weekend?)

Caller: If you have any question you can call myself or Brianne back at this number......

Me: Okay, Great! (Still looking for my pen)

Caller: Also, everything that we discussed is included in the email we sent to you.


Me: Wonderful!


And that's how my Enjoy The Go journey began. Check back soon for pictures and video footage of my "Enjoy the Go" adventures.

I never did find that pen :-D


Enjoy The Go!
