Boxes and work

So though we are working on our yard, we are still sorting through the last of our boxes. I have a slight issue with holding onto things, but we managed to condense almost all our memories into one box (and another one for some of my younger memories). So here it is, "Our Box." Filled with yearbooks and little league programs from softball, baseball, cheerleading and football. You can see my little bag of notes, our diplomas, and a diary that holds some pretty rough memories from Freshman year at FSU, including days of missing Justin so much and thinking that was the end of "our" road. You can see the score card from when we won STATE in high school, our senior class portrait, pom poms, and Justins' McSwaine award. So many memories, some good, some bad and some how they managed to bring "US" together in some magical, horrific tornado/roller coaster :)


Okay enough of the sap, don't VOM !!


I may obviously have a slight case of hoarding (see below) keeping notes from my lunch my mom gave me... hence the box of my own stuff. I have letters from my sister when she first went away to college and letters from her through my first days at college. I've kept postcards from my dad, whom used to travel a lot when I was little and any birthday card that ever made me cry. I don't know what I'll do with all this stuff, but for now it's in the attic and I'll pull it out again one day and love it all the same. I'm a very lucky girl.




Some of you know I work for my Mom and Dad's business, but you may not know what we do. It's not the Mexican Mafia :) My parents own a Computer Training and Gov Contracting company. I've only been there for 2.5 years, but it has really changed from my first day to now. I don't know all the numbers but I do know I was the 32nd (coincidence, I think not) employee and we are somwhere around 77 now? I think. Well this little company has just continued to grow and change. We've brought on some great christain people into the office, which helps hold myself accountable on a daily basis. This past week was National Prayer day, our whole office gathered at our new sign and flag pole for prayer over our country, familes, company and so on.
It's so nice to know that we have wonderful people that love such a wonderful company. Dad was out of town in Seattle and everyone else is scattered from Seattle to Georgia, San Diego and Orlando. This is just our little office :)
