Visit to good ole' Rocky Top

My family will probably disown me for the title to this post but oh well :)

I went home last month to see my awesome family before starting my new career. It was a great break and refresher before starting a new job. The first night I got in I met my second nephew, Braylon. He is such a doll but funny enough, looks nothing like his blonde hair, blue-eyed big brother. And he is so chunky!! I love me some chunky babies and could have cuddled him all night long.

*On another note, it was pretty awesome that me and Reagan matched that night without planning it. I had come straight from work and we were both wearing purple shirts*

We also met dad for dinner at Casa Fiesta. Great dinner after a long day's work and plane ride home. 

It's been a long day and that's all I've got for tonight. I'll post day 2 from the trip tomorrow :)

Last day at Texas Power

I started working at Texas Power the year that I moved to Texas, which was 2006. It's hard to believe that I've already lived here for 6 years! Texas Power became a second family to me and it was bittersweet to leave. I was excited to be venturing out into the teaching world after working hard in school for a degree and certification, but sad to leave those that I had built relationships with. It's always hard going somewhere new and having to meet new people all over again! Over the course of working at Texas Power I had 4 managers, all of which had different management styles and all of which I respected deeply. The last two were Marty and Jeana and they supported my desire to become a teacher from the moment I met them. They were always cheerleaders for me and pushed me to work for my dream. I will always remember their support during my last 6 months at Texas Power while I student taught and went to and from work for training and classes at UTA.

The company signed a really sweet going away card for me. This one made me laugh the most. Only Slone would think up such a thing :)
