What a day we had yesterday!

Okay, so we first went to Keith's ceremony. That was really amazing. Keith's school is a Special Ed school and wow the staff really knows how to make things happen quick!

Here are some pics of my boy and family that went to support him:

Then we had our night of A Nightmare On Elm St.!! It was amazing. We had a lot of fun and it seems that we succeeded way more than the theater expected. So, Jack is waiting for the official word, but from the response last night, it is a very strong possibility we will be able to continue!

Here are a few pics for you:




By the way, the Fango show will up by this weekend. So keep your eyes peeled for that!

I'm a proud mama!

I was going to post about Fango, but that can wait for another post.

On Thurs April 30th, I am privileged to announce my son will be receiving a certificate for Student Of The Year.

He has come so far with this school and I for one have nothing but respect for the amazing teacher that has given Keith such motivation.

I promise to post pics showing off my boy and his triumph.

Happy Anniversary to me.

Today Dec.22, 2008 is a special day for me. Today I have been in the hotel business for 5 years. Wow, I remember answering the random OC Register ad thinking it could be a great challenge and fun to be in Guest Service again.

I spent almost 4 years as an Auditor and now I have made it through 1 year as a daytime Front Desk Agent. There are days when I felt as though I went backwards a little when I started here as I was the Night Audit Supervisor at my old hotel. But I wouldn't go back to that drama.

I sometimes wish I had pushed more as I expected to be a manager by now. But that just means I need to knuckle down and really sell it. Show my higher ups I can do this. I do believe that if the economy wasn't so horrible, I would have been promoted.

I do love this, I do. It has made me happier than I thought I could be at a job. I am amazed at myself though. This has been the one other thing that is stable in my life. Of course, the first is Justin and I. Yes, Justin. I know he likes to be called Jack, but he is still my Justin.

Our relationship has been through its ups and downs, but he and I adapted. I don't know of many people that could have dealt with it. Only my friends Nadine and Gabby (2 other Auditors!) know what I talking about. It takes a strong man and woman to be able to make a life when the world runs on daylight and one member doesn't.

I am just thankful that in this messed up world, I have somewhere that I can call home away from home. And that's here, at the HIE. Sappy, I know, but I have earned my spot here and I'm not going to let it go any time soon.

I am going to keep my feet on the ground but still reach for my dreams. Someday, someday, I will have my own bed and breakfast to retire in.
