just a thought

I hate being away from my husband/ best friend/ panda bear!!!!!!

Moments

there are moments in life you never forget. your first time driving, your first date, your first kiss, your wedding day, the day you find out youre pregnant, the days your children are born, and the day someone you love dies. but these arent the moments im talking about. im talking about the moments that happen personally or in small ways. like your last day at a job that you really werent ready to leave. thats how i am right now. i had my last day at olive garden today and it was heart breaking in alot of ways. i love some of my coworkers and im going to miss them... liz, bianca, and sarah... youre all like sisters to me... tiffany c and christina, i just barely got to know you but i will so miss you! shelly and steph i will miss doing togo's with you. john, joel, clint, jared, and even steve i will miss yall! brian the bartender you made work bareable. and to everyone else i love you and will miss you. i will visit often and its not liek im going very far. but really... this place and its people... "when youre here youre family" doesnt even begin to describe the family we all created for eachother. so thanks yall!

Sundays

sundays are my favorite. church doesnt start till one so it gives payne and i a chance to be lazy and snuggle. i also like sundays because i get to relax and ponder the recent events in my life. take yesterday for instance. i decided to hand in my two weeks notice at olive garden. theres been alot of drama and stress there and its finally got me to a point where if i dont leave on my own terms my health will make me leave. i realized that olive garden is a hard place to quit. their slogan is "when youre here youre family!" and theyre not joking about that. your coworkers become siblings, uncles, aunts, and crazy second cousins... but thats the beauty of it. were all here to help eachother out. make you smile when your having a bad day. so when i quit i felt like im quitting a family too. the managers are amazing though. they are supportive and are doing all they can for us. payne is working hard and really prooving himself. they love him and are showing it too. its going to be a sad few weeks but life must go on.

well thats ive got... see ya later

update!!!

well its been ages! i guess im not very good at this keeping up business but i can update our lives now while im here...

in may 2010 payne was offered a job at olive garden in farmington and shortly after was made a trainer. he is now one of the top trainers at the olive garden off san mateo in albuquerque. he works crazy hours and is making huge improvements in positive ways! when hes not at work slaving away giving amazing customer service and training new people in the ways of olive garden hes home with his nose stuck in a book. its amazing the amount of reading he does. our book collection is growing all the time. we were lucky to discover some excellent second hand stores that buy and sell books... or else id be poor!

as for myself... ive been doing lots of soul searching. ive been working for olive garden as well but my time there is coming to an end. im looking at all my options but im scared to make a decision. im taking this weekend to really mull it over and figure out whats good for me. my health needs to be considdered as well. theres alot of preassure i suppose. but alls well that ends well...

so for now were just saying our prayers and smiling... free hugs!
