New job and a hobby picked up and put down just as quick

It has been just a little over a year since I started work at Freeman. I loved my job there - the work was challenging and interesting, I worked with great people (including friends like Stephanie!). Most importantly, I stretched myself as an HR professional and found my "work style." I was good!

However, on Aug. 31 I start a new opportunity that will open many doors personally and professionally. I will be a Human Resources Advisor for Valero Energy. They made an offer I would be foolish to turn down and let me take a week between Freeman and the new gig. (plus I get a company car!)

This week I've been holding mom hostage while she teaches me how to sew a quilt. So much for a relaxing vacation - this stuff is hard! Once it's finished I'll try to remember to post pictures of my first and last quilt. I'm actually pretty impressed that it is turning out so well. Thanks mom!
