When Things Change In our Lives

I looked back on when I wrote anything and I thought wow....I wrote when I was sad and I wrote when I was drunk. LOL, yep that's right I was 2-3 glasses of wine in on that last one.

So I have recently quit my job and it was the most emotional decision I've ever made. I literally was holding Alaina's hand (that's my boss) and sobbing like a baby. Ha, she held my clammy hand and was listening and confused and shocked and well, sad... I think....and maybe a little grossed out about my sweaty palm.  See at Garman we are family, we have a culture that most don't understand and even more don't care about or believe in.  Most times people will move on and when they do it sucks when you have a culture like we do.  I believe that paths cross for a reason, we learn lessons from those that walk our path with us (even if it's for a short time) and we're always better for having gone through change.  That doesn't mean that I like change but I understand it's necessary.

I guess I'm writing because I'm sad tonight... Yep, I'm sad.  I'm also excited that there is something new around the corner. But mostly right now, I'm trying to appreciate the other 16 people that I worked with at Garman Homes and all they have taught me...

Nancy ... my cheerleader, my Fairfield buddy and my friend.
Val...the one that surprises me every time I see her with some off the wall comment, completely not expected.
Lydie...always sweet, always smiling...and I'm always wishing you the best.
Kristi... funny, loud (like me) and always wanting the best!!
Eric...ouch!! ouch!!! I mean,  I love when you squeeze our necks and try to break them.
Jim...ok, see ya' bye...and thanks! ;)
Yosra...you're full of talent and charm....good combination.
Don...seriously, is there anyone that can give my "stuff" a voice and make it hilarious...nope.

Dink...dude chill out, you're way too worked up.
Kevin... coupons, coupons, coupons, and the best CM I've ever worked with. Thank you.
Dan...smiling, helpful, trustworthy, and always my calming influence.
Laurel...oh princess, rocky start...sweet finish! Your strength is inspiring.
Mags... oh Mags, laughter and smiles, your friendship is everlasting to all. Please don't put me at the end of the line, or even second to the end. :)
Katie...ahhh deep breath,  I get you...you have an amazing future ahead of you... I know it.
Allison...friend to the end...bumps and bruises and still solid...your fire is what drives you and it is amazing.
Alaina...oh girl, don't lose the heart that brought you this far...you're like no other. Lots of love to you always!!!

A small chapter of my life has ended, but it's in writing so not to be forgotten. Love you all!

Change. It's happening.
