Bittersweet...

I just finished packing up my desk - my last day working at Tennessee Disability Pathfinder. I was going through files on my computer and came across the picture that I used when I first started working here as my "professional picture" - here it is...

I definitely look different now - my hair isn't curly anymore (which most people are happy about - including me) and I am much skinnier - though I have to say, I think I have a pretty good reason for that right now. My first day of work was October 2, 2006 - seems just like yesterday. I have learned so much and really enjoyed working with these great ladies on a daily basis. I keep telling them they are going to keep seeing me, so not to worry :) Next week, I will start a new, part-time position: "Sibling Project Coordinator". I will coordinate activities surrounding TABS, or Tennessee Adult Brothers and Sisters, as well as help out with SibSaturdays still. I will ultimately be working 8 hours a week from my house, with the occasional trip onto campus for meetings and such. I am such a lucky, lucky girl. While I will most definitely miss all the great people I worked with on a daily basis, I am looking forward to having more time on my hands to prepare for Katie's arrival, sleep, and prepare for the upcoming TABS Conference.
