Last Day

Today was my last day of work...well, I am starting a new job on Monday. This was a very hard decision to make but I am confident that the new job will be a new adventure and is best for me and the family. I may talk more later about my new job but I wanted to share a few pictures from my last day at work. Some of my co-workers planned a little party for me and it was so nice to stop work and visit with some dear friends. I will miss many at my old job as they have loved and cared for me well the past 5 years.

Here is some of the party food :)
Sherdonna - a dear friend and co worker

Here is Gloria and Karen - dear friends from the Business office.

Tina - another dear friend and fellow mom. I will miss catching up on a daily basis with her.

This is Cher and Melenie who work in the Children's wing. They are such supportive friends in life and ministry.

Goodbye, Aslan

Last week we said goodbye to one of our first pets. Aslan, our sweet cat, went to live with a nice family from our Church. I miss Aslan. He was a nice cat and loved to cuddle. I hope he is giving his new family lots of love. Here are a few photos of our last day with Aslan.

Steven's Small Group

Here is Steven's Small Group from our trip to Mexico. I cannot speak for him, but I heard that he loved his group and enjoyed getting to know his guys better.

Mexico Small Group

Here is my small group from Mexico. I loved spending time with these girls and getting to know them a bit. I also loved leading the group with my wonderful friend, Ruthanne. I wish we all had more time to spend together and I look forward to keeping up with them via email and Facebook. Thank you for sharing a piece of your lives with me and encouraging me with your love. I will be praying for each one of you and think of you often.

Youth Team

Here are some pictures of the amazing team of Youth Leaders working with the Missionary Kids (MK's) at the Area Retreat in Mexico. These Youth Leaders are some of our best friends and great Alli's in ministry. We love you and are very thankful for you. We have a blast everytime we hang out with you.
