Retirement

Yep, after a year of teaching, I'm retiring!

Oh wait, never mind.  My husband happens to have a couple more years in school which means I've got at least a couple more years of teaching.

It's actually my old boss at BYU Mail Services that is retiring next month.  We had a surprise retirement party for him over the weekend.  

This man is one of the most amazing men I've ever met.  

Ever.

Brad is one of the funniest, most spiritual, and most humble men anyone will ever meet.  He has a storage of personal stories to help you through any of your trials in life and he gives the best advice when you need it.

He's another father figure in my life and will always have a special place in my heart.  

The whole gang of anyone who has worked at Mail Services (missing a few, of course).  I've missed this group a lot.   

And Addie!  We went to high school together, but it wasn't until we worked together at Mail Services that we really became friends.  We talked about every little thing happening in our lives and she knew more about my dating life than some of my best friends.  We shared a lot of laughs, cries, and spiritual moments together.  I miss her optimism and happy attitude during the day.  

She's had a baby since the last time we've seen each other and her little Gracie is already 9 months old!  That little girl is just darling.  I could've held her the entire time we were there.

Babies are just too darn cute.

It was a great Saturday afternoon and I hope it doesn't take another 2 years to see some of these people again!
