The word that comes to mind when I think of this past year is CHANGES. There has been so many changes this past year that molded and shaped me into the person I am today. For all of those changes, I.AM.THANKFUL!
That is the best way to describe this past year. THANKFUL! I am so very thankful for my family and friends who believed in me, supported me, and were always a phone call or text away when I was having my doubts about "being a big girl" or "wearing my big girl pants" or moving soon far away from "home." I never ever imaged that I would move away from my family EVER! I mean seriously! Ask my parents, I was the kid who constantly cried when things did not go my way, or could not order food at a restaurant independently growing up, or call friends to invite them over for a sleepover. OH! Don't get me started on sleepovers.... I have never really been a fan of those either (but that's a totally different story.)
Needless to say, this has been ONE AMAZING YEAR! I am so thankful for my new AZ opportunities: my new teaching position, friends, and home.
I am thankful for my awesome boss and TEAM I work with. I have learned a lot this past year. I truly hope to continue to learn as much as I possibly can. I work with some AMAZING individuals who make going to work so much FUN! I am truly THANKFUL!
Thank you to everyone! You have all been on my mind and have helped prepare me for this HUGE CHANGE this past year. I.AM.THANKFUL!
THANK YOU!
