One day left.

I am down to one day left at my job. I have lots of mixed emotions running around inside of me. I am so excited to start my new job and so sad to leave all of my friends at my current job. One of the persons that I am sad to leave is my supervisor. I have always had a great  relationship with her and I will truly miss her. She has helped me grow and has always done everything that she can to help me along my in career with Valley. I am also sad to leave the girls in my department, they are all one of a kind and we have all worked so well together. So to Kindra, Renee, Irene, Amanda and Christine I will miss you all greatly.

I have worked 2 jobs for the last 5 years and tonight was the last night that I have to do that.  I am not going to have to work  a second job anymore. This new job will allow me to work 8 to 5  M-F and then get to be home with my husband and have evenings and weekends to spend with family. I am so excited for this opportunity. Having more time to spend with family has become very important to me since the birth of my granddaughter. I have always been a family person, but have missed out on alot in the last few years, now I hope to be able to spend more time with all members of my family.

Next month my son,Levi, is marrying his long time girlfriend, Robin. They recently had their engagement photos taken by  local photographer. If you would like to see the first few photos from that shoot please go here. There are some that  really like and there are some that I do not care for, but then it is that way with any art form. Art is in the eye of each artist and in the eye of each person viewing the art. I know that I have taken photos that I absolutely adore and my subjects do not care for. My son loves the fire escape photo and I do not care for it. While it is a great architectural, impressionistic photo it is not the photo that I want hanging on my wall of my son and his fiance. I  want a photo that shows the love and respect that they feel for each other hanging on my wall. Now don't get me wrong, I think that Ronnie is a great photographer and I know that he has taken some that reflect their love for one another.

We had a great time on Mother's Day. We had an indoor picnic at my sisters house. After we got home I took a 2 hour nap and then Tony and I went out for pizza for dinner. A very relaxing day and such a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day. Kaya was dressed for the occasion. Just look at that cute shirt that she has on. I bet you would never guess who bought that shirt for her, tee hee.

I have a few cards that I will share with you tomorrow night. I have not taken photos of them yet.

Have a great evening and a good day tomorrow.

wow! I checked out the engagement photos. WOW. That photog is talented. Would you mind emailing me contact info for him? I could email him but thought a call might be better. We are looking for some new talent for the magazine! I was going to show our publisher to see if he would be interested in branching out! Hope you had a fabulous mom's day! Congrats on this being your last day of work!! You deserve it. And, have to say... the picture of Kaya shows she is growing! WOW!

I am totally loving Levi & Robin's engagement pics! They are just stunning! I bet they are thrilled with them.

I can't believe how big Kaya is getting...you can tell how her personality is emerging! Great pic of her!

It's been too long....Great to find you, cuz. Good thing Marla never changed her email. Glad you are doing well. Yes, two jobs, although quite an accomplishment, is hard on a person. Now you can say you are retired!!
Saw Levi's engagement pics. They are great! Levi looks so much like your Dad. Robin is beautiful!
And congrats on being a Grandma, what fun! You beat me there.
We kinda do two jobs though. Randy and I both work out and are foster parents.

Email me, I'd love to stay in touch.
Your cuz, Cheryl (leedy) Hodson
