End of the TAX season!!!!

As most of you know, I have been working full-time for a CPA during the tax season which ended last Wednesday, April 15th! That night after work, the owner had a little pizza party for the staff and their families. I am staying on with them part-time... kind of an "as needed" basis.

Well, I have really gotten to know the owner's family... his wife and three daughters. I thought I would share a couple of the gifts that I received from them that day:

This is a portrait drawn by Sarah Hicken of my two dogs, Rudy and Shylo. She did such a great job!!! Can you believe she is only 10 years old?!!? What talent! Of course... all three girls have amazing talents and I am excited to spend more time with them now that I am not working so much. I also received a LOVELY bouquet from them and a letter of thanks! I will really miss seeing them on almost a daily basis!!!

The next day I packed up the dogs and myself for a little vacation in Utah County! I know, not the most exciting place to go... but, I was in a dire need of a family visit! I was missing my two mothers TERRIBLY!!!! Anyway, I had a wonderful time and will be posting some fun pictures soon of my mom at her best.... DANCING! She has joined a dance class that is preparing her to become one of Jean's Golden Girls! She is fantastic! Over course, she doesn't think so, but one day she will take a look and see how great she really is at dancing... she just needs confidence!
