Tis the Season of the Red Carpet

I have always been told that third time is a charm, but if you did good twice before is the third one supposed to be bad? uh oh...
As my friend Danny puts it, "Tis the season to say Tis" . As we have had the season to be jolly (fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra), we carry the jolly over and "Tis the season for the award shows".  Any good company that appreciates their employees has an award show to praise the work of all their employees; The Wells Group obviously has one.
Now this is my first award ceremony, it was my first Office awards event. Now one of my favorite shows is "The Office" (pre-michael scott departure), and now if you are anything like me then you fantasize that working in an office is kinda like a TV show, because everyone knows that anything that is on TV or the internet is absolutely 100% real. I mean just look at the shows my generation has idolized: Jersey Shore, The Bachelor, The Real World, The Hills, Any of the Real Housewife's series, etc. All these shows literally rot your brain, even zombies wouldn't eat the living brain of the people that watch and idolize these shows.
But back to the awards, I was kinda hoping that it would be like the "Dundies" from the Office show but it wasn't, not a big deal. In fact it was better. Since I don't know some of these people it was a great way to talk and finally meet them, and you learn how generous these people really are with charity and their extracurricular activities. One of the brokers, Christina Rinderle, that workers here is the MAYOR of Durango.
Now i think about, in any city being the mayor is a big deal, but here in Durango its just the person next door, one day they are selling you a home and that evening they are making important decisions that affect the area in which you live in. It's just cool that I can say I know and work along side the Mayor. Heck maybe the MAYOR can give me a letter of recommendation for the future.


This week I'm giving a S/O to Thad Trujillo here at the Wells Group: Thad was ONCE a football player at FLC during the times when the scoreboard was changed by rock & chisel, they wore leather helmets, no face guards or mouthpieces, and had to catch the pig to make the that games football. But despite those troubling times he is still a Hall of Famer and very worthy of it. Thad I hope this pleases you.

The Big Guy's Daydream

The first week is gone and the second is upon me, this time with higher expectations. So lets not blow it...

There is a buzz that has been created in the office. The Home and Garden TV is coming to DURANGO to do an episode of House Hunters. I know I am only 23 years old but I LOVE THIS SHOW!! Now I am nowhere near the age or the financials to start considering buying a home but I do think and plan out what I would want my "dream home" to be. If and when I can ever afford my "dream home" it will look something like this:
Cathedral-style Ceilings, home theater room, open floor plan, 2 stories, possibly a pool, hot tub, commercial kitchen, outdoor kitchen with grill and smoker (in my family you need a meat smoker because we are LEGEN, wait for it, DARY, LEGNDARY at smoking meats!), family room, awesome master bedroom with large shower area containing multiple shower heads and an overflow tub along with walk in closet, crown molding, house is wireless connected, speakers throughout the house and outside, and much much more.
As you can tell I have put little thought into what my "dream home" would be . I like to think of me planning my "dream home" more of how a woman plans her dream wedding minus the whole bridezilla fiasco. Now the show is looking for an agent and client in Durango so I am really hoping that The Wells Group gets that opportunity and maybe I can get my clean mug on the spotlight. In reality I will be that one guy in the background waving and yelling "Hi Mom!"

The BIGnning

First off maybe I should say a thing or two about myself. My name is Matt Morris, I am a senior at Fort Lewis College where I play on the Men's Basketball team and I am also the intern at The Wells Group here in my hometown of Durango, Colorado. This is the BIGnning of my time here and the experiences I fall across.

I label the word BIG for a reason, I'm not the most small or petite guy in the office that has its twists and turns in narrow hallways; I'm more like a bull in a china shop, but hey that's what I grew up in and that's what made me who I am today. This week is "technically" my first week of my internship even though I have been put to use since October. I know Julie and Maddy have been using me for my muscle, which I learned quickly that is what an intern is used for. Definition of an intern: Do what anyone tells you to do in the office. Joe Bob's Definition for an intern: "Scrub toilets, take out trash and clean up his mess". My definition of an intern: "make an impression, because if you don't then you are basically screwed once it comes graduation time and you have no job!"  I'll tell you one thing though, if you can come in for an early morning meeting and have people laughing and enjoying with everyone in the room then you are in a good place.


I did pick The Wells Group for a reason though, it is the number one real estate company here in Durango and I have known that for a while now. These people are extremely friendly here to me and I know I will learn a lot in my tenure here. Where this road as in intern takes me who knows but I do know that it will be a interesting to say the slightest.
