It is official. I can now have a real life and see my husband other than just saying "goodnight" to him. My last day at Pier One was today. It is both a joyful time and a time of sadness. I am happier now that I do not have to juggle two jobs and the crazy hours. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and that things are going to be okay. I have a sense of comfort and peace for the first time in a while.

Things I am grateful for that I can finally do:

• SPEND TIME WITH MY HUSBAND
• Make a delicious dinner for my family
• Get all artsy/crafty whenever the heck I want (all the time)
• I can finally attend/participate in church activities
• I can read a good book or two or three :)
• Working out at the gym
• Going on hikes
• Really get deep in studying my scriptures
• Plant a mini garden to put in my windowsill
• Oh the possibilities are endless.....

I am saddened because I will miss all of the people that I worked with. We were all pretty close and got along so well. I have never worked at a place before where we all just flowed together. There were not any quarrels or little tid bits that happened. We were just one big happy Pier One family.
