A Chapter Closed

After a week of being done at Wilson Toyota, I am finally getting around to blogging! I had expectations of having a lot of free time, then I was reminded that Adam is top priority!

Last Thursday I closed up a big chapter in my life, a 5 1/2 year chapter. I left feeling sad, emotional, and super excited and blessed about the change.

I was just pondering about big " chapters" in my life.

I categorized them as:

"The Texas Chapter"

( I was cute, yep, I know. My sisters called this the "turtle" stage for me)

"The Ankeny Chapter"

"The Ames Chapter"

A lot of great memories... too many to post.

Ballard High School. I even played tennis!

My 4-year-long position at Valentinos!




My great years at Ballard High School!

My lazy teenage years at our busy come-and-go house on Jensen. So many good memories there with our youth group and church.

I have many more things to say about the Ames chapter, but I have to stop somewhere!

"Emmaus Bible College Chapter"

I have tons of pictures of that chapter, I'm just having a hard time finding them!

"The New Mexico Nanny Chapter"

"My Amos Chapter"Dating

Engagement Marriage

"Our Getting our First House Chapter"

(I think we will always be in this chapter)

"Our Adam Chapter"

Starting a new Chapter!!!

I went through some important life chapters while I was at Wilson's. They were with me when I started dating Amos, our engagement and marriage, our house purchase, and then they were so involved with Adam and his life.

I have a lot of good memories there. I met a lot of great people. It was so awesome to have some of my bosses that were Christians. How often does that happen in the work place?

I loved my job. I started as the receptionist/accounts receivable/customer service then was advanced to the new sales administrator position that I created as I went.

That was fun and different.

I am going to miss those salesmen and their families, all the wonderful ladies I worked with, and being at a place I really respect and love. I had such a blessed last day at Wilson's. The ladies in the office surprised me with Mac and Cheese from the Cafe ( so awesome! ) a cake shared with Eric who has left also, and a few gift cards worth hundreds. I was overwhelmed! Thank you everyone for your generosity!
Thank you so much Suzy for your help and blessing. I can't say thank you enough!

But now, I am more excited to be able to stay home with Adam and be his mother. I love raising our child so far. We are trusting that God will provide everything we need. I have really enjoyed doing the book work for Farmhouse Catering so far. It is so nice that Evie and I live down the street from each other. I have stayed busy so far!
