Footprint Friday

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of god
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of god
And I know its true
Youre a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of god
So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints.

If you would like to participate in Fingerprint Friday head on over to PamperingBeki and join! You can also see other footprints.

Friends

This is my centerpiece on the dining room table. I spray painted the flower pot and then added all the extra decorative pieces.

Random Thoughts

"Friends are the most important part of your life. Treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories."- Dave Brenner

LB - Where do I begin? Service Order, traffic meetings, incomplete service orders, creative meetings, "the same but different", I need a “wow”, morning dept. meetings, etc. You've been a great friend and a great boss. We worked together well, but also realized that your strengths and my strengths were what helped that department grow. We've shared many memories but probably the highlight that I remember the most is the night you spent at the hospital with us. I'm sure you were completely speechless when you saw us going up the hill and rolling down the hill.

TM - We've had lots of talks outside during your smoke breaks and I'll truly miss talking with you daily. You amaze me by you calm demeanor during magazine resizing and newsletter revisions, you are so patient. We've shared many laughs and lots of good talks. The best memory I have with you is our fishing trip after work - we had so much fun that night. You also understood the MAJOR daily need for Diet DP and/or Coke. We could always rely on each other to help with our addictions.

DM - My kitchen cabinet buddy. I’ll never forget you yelling at me when I was taking up too much space. Well, now you have the whole cabinet to yourself. You've been so much fun to work with. You were so quite and shy at first, but boy did you surprise us all. I’ll never forget the first time I saw you upset when you slammed Lance's office door and started yelling at him. The Halloween Haunted House and how you didn't even get scared. Playing Basketball - Your crazy ball throwing skills and the day you hit Jason in the face with the ball. Oh, so funny

JM – My best friend boy and my long lost brother we’ve had many fun times together - Riding 4 wheelers, wrecking a 4 wheeler, shooting, cheese hotdogs, Bobby's foot longs, trips to the storage unit, packing for shows, many laughs, John’s deployment, sharing an office, understanding my moods, you training me, me training you…..

MS - Oh goodness....Louisville with the mini van, my birthday party, the party at your house, you and I outside by the pool, me falling down, client dinners, late nights at work drinking wine, car rides to shows, stress from shows, one way streets, introducing me to my first pair of designer jeans - an amazing experience. We have many more memories to share together. You are FIERCE.

JO - You added so much humor to many stressful times. I'll never forget your analogy of the truck and how Jason was the "mud flap" and management is the "diesel fuel" - high priced but can't do it with out them." Also another memory is you're "thinking outside of the box" moment in staff meeting. You’ve always made us LOL.

BM – I don’t know what I would of done without you. You understand my addiction to coffee and Reese pieces. What am I going to do?

JP – My Sonic partner, blogging mentor and Facebook friend. We’ve really bonded since the transition and sometimes I don’t know how we made it. We’ve had lots of fun up in our corner and I’m so glad we’re such great friends. I’m going to miss turning around in my chair daily to laugh. I’ll never forget our many secretive bathroom talks.

TW - our Louisville experience was the experience that bonded up for life - Those stupid surveys. The crawfish boil at your house was so much fun and the moment I'll never forget is walking outside to see you husband peeing in the front yard. What an awkward. Another funny moment was our trip to dinner in KY and I was driving down a one-way street and I had to jump the curb in our rental car. Oh dear, that was a close call. We almost didn't survive.

MG - My car-pooling buddy - I'm going to miss you. You are truly "the icon of CDI."

AT - I've enjoyed sharing our weekly arts and craft ideas and I know you'll continue to update me on all your new projects. Our trip to Beef O'Brady's after work was the moment I'll always remember with you. Alex our best friend from the local Mexican restaurant decided to join us at our table. He became really friendly with you while he was telling us he had a wife, so weird. We had the brilliant idea of running (seriously running) around Kroger after we left Beef's. Oh, the laughs we had that night.

BB - You trained me well. I truly learned from an organizational fanatic. I was a little leery at first that I wasn't going to meet your expectations, but I think I finally gained your trust. I'll never forget the day that Trish hired me as the Traffic Coordinator and you walked by the conference room after my interview. Trish pulled you in and said, Becky here's the new traffic coordinator and you said, well that's great news (something similar to that) and I was thinking oh goodness, I've really got to impress her. I don't know why that memory is so vivid I guess because that was the beginning of our friendship and I had no idea. You were my roommate at the shows and taught me so much. I know we'll have many more memories but it sad to see that we won't have any more morning Starbucks, car rides, and shows to attend together. It makes me sad, but it's time to move on. Oh, I forgot one more thing I owe you big time for being the #1 roommate when you scrubbed my pajamas after I threw up everywhere.

TC - You amaze me. I'll never forget the night we went to Creagan's after work and you decided to get there extra early and when I arrived you were engulfed in conversation with 2 guys. If I remember correctly you got both of their numbers. As you left the table with your new friends to join us you decided that you were going to call another guy. You passed the phone to Steve (your boss) so he could talk to this potential boyfriend. You were so funny that night.

SD - You formally introduced me to Diet Fanta and homemade pizzas and I'll cherish that forever. The painting party at your house was memorable and your crazy neighbor ready to pose for Lori (so funny). I never thought you would be my boss, but it's crazy how things work out. We had lots of memories during the past 8 months; You, Becky and me being the last 3 at the show we were so tired but we're determined to have some fun. The photo of you eating the grass and me pretending to jump over the hurdles - how ironic that seemed like what I did for the next 8 months. Oh, how could I forget your devotion to Chipotle, Starbucks, Panera, and Dairy Queen – I will always think of you every time I go to one of these places.

LG – Thanks for taking such good care of me the night of the 4 wheeling accident. I’ll never forget you coming to pick me up in the woods that night. You were so worried even though I was so stupid to want to go up a 40-foot hill.

TG –You’ve been a great friend and mentor. Our trip to the ASI conference in Dallas was a great memory that I’ll never forget. I’ve gained so much experience and will never forget everything you’ve taught me.

SS – You are a walking dictionary for transportation terms. Your knowledge was always so helpful. How could I ever forget the great times we’ve had at your house – “the party house.” Oh, and I think I’ll have trouble working without having you shaking the back of my chair. I might have withdrawals from not hearing the siren go off many times daily (work phone).

LF – Our trip to AL was a great learning experience and a great way to get to know you. We’ve shared many funny stories together ☺. You have a passion and drive for your job and I’ll always admire you for that. Thanks for sharing “White Trash Christmas” with me.

Other memories:
