Michelle

Duke just took a beating.

My bracket was doing so well.  Until Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, AND Duke all lost.  Don't ask.  I didn't pick them-my friends did! 

On a more positive note, today was my last day at work!! And what a day it was indeed..a good day to exit that is! Audit decided to come today.

My boss' words were pretty priceless:

Boss: "Michelle, today is a great day (referring to my last day)-one that you should always remember.  As in, it will be just as great as the day of your wedding and also the birth of your first child." 

I'd say I was pretty excited to say the least.

As I was on my 45 minute commute back home tonight, aka rush hour traffic on I-65, I got to thinking.

I'm thankful for the opportunity that I have been given with my current employer.  I am blessed to have worked with so many amazing individuals and I will miss my co-workers when I leave but I feel as if I'm not in unfamiliar territory.  I'm leaving with confidence knowing that God will always provide, he has always provided and he will continue to provide.  As my time here in Birmingham is coming to an end, the harsh reality of moving back to Meridian is beginning to set in.  Do I really want to move back? Absolutely not.  Do I really want to work for my dad? Why of course I do.  Would I love to move to Dallas? I would move in the morning! What about the Baron's games that I will miss here this summer? And crawfish parties, Zac Brown concerts, and Brewfest? I failed to mention that I have new pool friends and how I would love to spend my days here at the pool this summer! We won't even mention my current residence.  Or the fact that Super Target, Sephora, Whole Foods, and Banana Republic don't exists within the Meridian city limits.  Ah, how bittersweet.

Tomorrow begins my six day pool binge (if it doesn't get rained out, that is) and I will be moving shortly after that. 

Happy Friday friends!
