My "kids"

I think it is a known fact, but if in case it isn't. I LOVE my nephews and nieces more than anything. I of course, do not have kids, but I love each of them as if they were my own. My point, the other day we all went to Third Coast Clay and painted pottery. They had a set of coasters and perfectly they had a set of 6! So, I had each of the kids paint a coaster and then Ashley and Susan painted one of behalf of their tummies. They turned out really well. Here is a picture of them. 

My Nature Boys

Today Luke and I took Drew to our new favorite spot along the Harpeth River. These two boys where in Heaven!! We were there for 2 1/2 hours and it was like pulling teeth to get them out of the river. One funny thing...Drew was peeing in the river and he was done and looked down stream and said, "Bye Bye pee pee, see you later" Then Luke also decided that he was going to throw Drew's crocs down river to see if they would be a boat, and they would and traveled quite far before I got them! Here are some of my pics from today. 

Lately I have been struggling at work, knowing that it is my last few weeks and finding it hard to do my absolute best even though I am leaving soon. I would never do less than my best, but it is hard to work my hardest sometimes when everyone I work with doesn't do their hardest. Dad spoke at church the other day and said he used this verse and it of course hit home for me. 

Galatians 6:4

"Each of you must examine your own actions. Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others."

I just thought this was a great verse to remind me that it is my work that matters and even though i want to compare myself to others, that i shouldn't waste my energy. 

Day at the creek with Luke

Today Luke and I went down to the Harpeth river on a little adventure. He loves throwing rocks and this was like the super jackpot! There was also a little waterfall that we decided to walk across and had fun being a mountain man with aunt jess. I got some pictures of us having a great time. The only problem was the trash out there...so I can see us going back sometime before I leave and cleaning up some of the trash that takes away from the experience.

The whole family was in town for the 4th of July, here are some good ones of us all.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I leave for Utah in a month and 9 days! Things are really starting to come on faster and faster. 3 weeks from today will be my last day of work at Jersey Mikes. After 2 years and 8 months I will be leaving the ol' sub shop. I am happy that I'm leaving and moving on to new things. But I am starting to get a little sad about leaving a place that has been so good for me. I don't think it will hit me until I leave Jersey Mike's for good and have nothing to focus on except my upcoming move. 

Every time I tell someone about my job and move they always have lots of questions for me, and I hate to say that most of the time I don't really have an answer for them. All that I know about my job is what I have read on the website and my training packet, and I admit that is not much. I will put the website here and everyone can check it out on their own time and read about what I will be doing. But have no fear...I am so very excited and can't wait to get out there! 

I will do my best to keep this updated so that I can let everyone know what I am doing!
