So, this past weekend was my last weekend at Cracker Barrel. It was a weekend full of emotions..... Excitement, joy, relief, sadness, anxiousness, and uncertainty. In a way, I was excited that it was the last weekend, and in a way not. In the back of my mind, I am thinking...am I making the right decision? Can I make it financially with just one job? I have made some friends...will I ever see them again? Of course I will visit every now and then. Whether or not I made the right decision to leave Cracker Barrel....I don't know...at least not now.
As for Walmart, I officially start as a Dept. manager on April 9th, 2011. So in the meantime, I am in the transition stage....training, getting in the swing of things. I like it so far. It is just going to take some time getting used to what products/brands are in my dept. Because you all know that I am a pro at baby/ boy items/clothing....lol!

Catching Up.....
So I am not one who is good at keeping in touch whether it is by phone, email, text etc.... So I am going to try blogging again. Maybe this time I can keep in touch.
This past year has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride to say the least. Last summer I moved to Springfield, IL to participate in a volunteer internship at Refuge Ranch. This rach is a therapeutic place where at-risk kids can come and participate. It involves the children spending one on one time with an adult mentor and a horse. Even though the internship part is over, I still plan to volunteer at the ranch again this summer.
In order for me to even be able to move to Springfield in the first place was to find a job. And it was not as easy as it might have seemed. In the end, I got two jobs for the price of one. I moved to Springfield in June 2010 and started both of my jobs the very same week of moving! Nothing like starting right away... So what jobs did I acquire? Cracker Barrel and Walmart. Which was better? Some days it was hard to decide. I worked at both jobs through the new year. But recently, I have quit Cracker Barrel to work full time at Walmart as a Dept. manager over infants and boys clothing.
Working both jobs did not allow any spare time to have a social life or even become involved with church and missions. I am excited now that with the effect of my new position and having only one job I will have more time to become involved with church and missions.
For those of who I have not talked to in a long time, I am sorry. Maybe this will change that. It is not that I have forgotten you, but that I have been very, very busy! Until next time....miss and love you all!
