Grandma C's Internment

Grandma C was created and at the time of her funeral, the family decided to wait to have the graveside burial at the C Family Reunion. Yesterday we had the service, the reunion and then continued to visit with family at C&K's house. 

The girls playing & visiting with Mr. C's cousins who live out of state.

Closing the door on one chapter and opening another

Today was my last day working for the same employer for the past 9 years. I completed my internship with this company, was hired full time, worked as the Reservation Specialist for 2 years, then worked as the Adult Programs specialist for 5 years and ended working the last 2 years at the Youth Programs specialist. I learned so much, was given great opportunities and worked with an awesome group of people. But the time and opportunity became available for me to work closer to home.

My coworkers joined me for a good-bye lunch. My "team" that I have worked very closely with the past 9 years.

My "boss" got me a shirt.

 and I got her some of her favorite candies to help her get through the first few weeks without me and until they hire my replacement.

It has been an extremely bitter sweet few weeks. I will miss working with this work family and different aspects of my job, but I'm also looking forward to the new opportunities and challenges ahead! I start my new job on Monday.  

Fireman's Day

The local firefighters visited Lil Miss C's school today. Her teacher shared some pictures with me.

A non-family birthday party

Today Lil Miss C had her first birthday party that she went to that was not a family member or a family friend. It was a girl in her preschool class. I met some of the other mom's of her classmates and she had a blast!

Pumpkin Pickin

A smaller crop this year but the girls still enjoyed picking them & we have a few to share with everyone.

Some BIG Changes...

Today I put it my two weeks notice at my work. After 9 years working for the same place, I am leaving to work closer to home. 

Preschool Days

Lil Miss C has been doing wonderful at Preschool! She loves it and is learning so much. So far we are extremely pleased with our choice to send her to CP. Love that her teacher sends pictures of what they're doing from time to time.

Labor Day

We stayed around T-town for the holiday weekend. Enjoyed relaxing at home & seining the catfish pond.
