Mixed emotions...

I'm having a real tough time deciding how I feel right now. I'm SO excited to move onto something new, but yet I'm SO sad to end a part of my life that has forever changed who I am.

As I'm typing this post I struggle to keep the tears from dripping down my face. My days at Sunshine Terrace are quickly coming to an end and I cannot express how grateful I am to everyone who has been a part of my life there. I have made a lot of friendships, not only with co-workers, but with residents, family members of residents and especially my mom and sister. I know a lot of people say they couldn't work with their family, but I have to say I have been one lucky person to be with them almost every single day and to be able to talk with them when I needed them most.

{Thanks Mandy and Mom for all your support, encouragement and love!!}




My door at Sunshine Terrace will soon close, but I strongly believe that I have so many doors ahead of me that have and will open. I cannot thank everyone at Sunshine Terrace enough for the great support the everyone has given to me.

I owe thanks to everyone single one of you...Dan, Courtney, Trina, Jennifer, Vivian, Sasha, Cody, Carolyn, Doug, Kris, Jan, Debbie, Kallee, Michelle, Edd, Cindy, Lisa, Leanne, Diane, Sharee, Konie, Rod, Shawna, Margee, Angie, Karmon, Trevor, Danny, Erin, Karina, Lyle, Heidi, Sue, Cheryl, Nathan, David, Chris, Paula, Char, Johnson, Rebekah, Alyce, Todd, Justin, Nancy, Ashley, and e very single resident. The list could seriously go on and on. I have learned so much from all of you and it is truly a blessing to have known each one of you.

I also have to thank the rest of my family and my friends for the support they have given me. This decision was one that I made on my very own and I have had such great support from everyone! I definitely could not make it through everything I have without the support of all of you.

Goodbye Sunshine Terrace Foundation. I will miss you.

Hey what about me? I realize I haven't been there for awhile but we did work together. Just kidding :). I don't need recognition. I did hear you were leaving and that place won't be the same without you. I will miss seeing you there when I go to visit. That just means we need to hang out more outside of SST!

I'm glad you like your new job! You'll do amazing wherever you are. So if you feel like moving to Orem... just kidding. But it would be so fun if we lived closer to each other!!!! Good luck with this 'new chapter.' I have a feeling it's gonna be a good one!
