Catching up....

I finally have access to a computer where I can upload picts - so it is time to catch up on a few things...and the perfect way to start is to talk about catching up with one of my favorite people in the world - someone that had been such a fabulous mentor and friend to me over the last 8 years. She was one of the first managers I worked for at my first job out of college and took a group of us (RT, on the left in the pict above, JY (who is in NYC right now and not able to hang out with us that night, and me) under her wing. We worked almost soley for her our first few years and she taught us so many things....not only about work but about life. We were SO blessed to have her take us under her wing - ironic that from my start class there were only three of us left before I left this past month and all three of us were the ones that she mentored when we were young. She is one of my most favorite people - she has this bubbly personality, and she is so caring - she totally watched out for us - both in our careers and in our personal lives - and had no problem calling us out when we made mistakes to make sure that we never did it again. I was SO sad when MT moved to NYC - I missed her being in Houston and I missed how much she taught me - there was no one else in the office like her. BUT I also loved getting to see her everytime I went to NYC and every training where she was there...and even more nights like the one we had above when they were in Houston and we got to hang out and catch up. Those nights always remind me how much I loved having her around and how sad I am that she is not in Houston anymore! BUT I am excited for them as they go and do a rotation in London - as soon as they get there I am going to visit!! LOVE having people all over the world to go and play with! You are one of the reasons that leaving the firm was so hard (as was RT and JY - my start class family....with MT as our Mamma Hen). MT - I may have not told you enough how much I appreciated you and all that you have done for me...Thank you...you have truly touched my life.
