Two Weeks!

Exciting news!!! Yesterday I was able to put my two week notice in at hickory park!! In two short weeks I will hopefully be retiring my apron, and in less than three months taking on our biggest challenge yet, (i'm sure) PARENTHOOD! I CANNOT WAIT. I honestly had my doubts when this day would come. I secretly thought once Ryan gave me the okay to quit i wouldn't be able to actually do it. I think i squeeled, gave him a kiss and started writing my two week notice!
I am extremely burnt out from the industry but there are about twenty people I work with who i will really miss. its the people i work with who i'll miss, definletly not the customers. there is something about the food industry business where there is a common bond, something i can't really explain. You go through really, really crazy days, nights with these people...they become your family.
How it all started: I started working for Country Kitchen (where Ames Community Bank currently is located) my senior year of high school in1999 and worked there until it closed. I then traveled down to Ankieny for three years. (still with country kitchen) After we got married in june of 2004, I stopped working in Ankeny and started working at hickory park. My tenative last day is june 3rd!
Whats Next?: Our appraising business for the last year has REALLY taken off. With interest rates being at a historic low & going into the busiest time of the year I am going to be working for ryan to help with his workload. We have been blessed, none of this would even be possible without our Lord and Savior who has made all of this possible for us.
If you happen to see me in the next couple of weeks i'm SURE to have a gigantic smile on my face!!!!
