A Proud Daughter!

I am so proud of this man! This is my dad as most of you know and this past Friday, he graduated from the SC Criminal Justice Academy. He has been working at Greenville County Detention Center for some time now as a detention officer, but in order for him to move up in rank, he had to be certified. Well for 3 weeks, he went to the academy, was class leader, and scored really well on his tests and came out of there with a 94 average! I can understand now how proud of me he use to be when I was in school and was making good grades on my test. I could not be more proud of him than I am right now! He has finally found a job that he loves and he works with some awesome people at that. I have met several of his co-workers and they are great people. So anyway, just wanted to give a shout-out to a man who has always been an inspiration to me and whom I love very very much! Proud of you Dad! Great job!!!

A Few Recent Pics

I know I know! I haven't posted Adam's birthday pics yet. While I keep telling myself I need to do so, I also keep forgetting to purchase new batteries for my digital camera so I can remove the pics from there. I found out that you have to have the batteries in order to use the camera when removing the pics even though you use a USB cable with the computer. So here are a couple of pics taken from his party last weekend. I promise promise promise that I will have more as soon as I can remember the batteries! LOL

Adam was riding his horse outside before the party even got started.

My sister in-law took this picture with her phone and then put the graphics on it. I thought it was adorable!

Exciting Possibilities!!!

I was approached by my manager last week and she discussed the possibility of me becoming manager one day. She is the general manager and she said that she is always looking for hard working employees to become manager. I jumped at the chance. I told her that I was interested and would do what I had to do to become one. Now I know some of you out there, especially the ones who have been in management before, are probably thinking.."ARE YOU CRAZY?", but I see it as a blessing and an opportunity. I am a natural born leader and I feel like I could handle the position well. I know I still have a lot to learn and that's what I'm working on right now. I have to complete my training manual before I can start studying the manager books, but I'm looking forward to it. I see it as an opportunity not only to put my leadership skills into practice, but to be able to provide a more secure and stable future for my son. So please pray for me in the weeks to come that I will succeed in my tasks at hand!

Delays

Sorry I haven't blogged here lately. I've been working so much and I'm pretty exhausted when I get home in the evenings. Everything is going great. Adam is doing wonderful. Growing into a wonderful and vibrant young man. We celebrated his birthday this weekend and he had a blast. It's so hard to believe that my baby is 4 years old now. Where did the time go to? I tried to capture as many moments of the party as I could, but the batteries in my digital camera decided to die on me right when the gifts were being opened. As soon as I get a free moment, I will upload them and share them with you here.
