Old friends & cute kids...

Sometimes it is hard for me to believe that I have been in my current job for almost 1.5 years. I love my job and really only a few people can understand WHY I love it so much. Besides the obvious (great bosses, awesome co-workers, bring the dogs to work everyday, etc.), what is the biggest reason I love this job??? It isn't SAMSUNG. :o) The folks I hung out with last night all have that common bond. (Even the very few that are still there hate it!)

From what I hear, everything I hated about Samsung has only gotten worse. Plus, they are also dealing with the poor economy and the overall morale sounds awful. They also don't hold the massive events anymore- which was what I enjoyed most. THANK YOU PETRELOCATION for getting me out when you did!!

Every few months or so, we get together for dinner or drinks. It is nice to touch base with everyone and catch up on their lives. (Kasi- how did I manage to miss getting a picture of you!?!)

(Raqui- still hangin' in at Samsung. Peggy- my former supervisor at Samsung.)

(Michelle- still at Samsung. Leigh- former Samsung. Arann- still at Samsung.)

(Jason with Sara, a former Samsung-er. Her family- Frank, Colton & Paige. When we took this picture, Colton turned his hat to the side and said, "Yo, yo, yo!!")

The stars of the show were two ladies that are new to the group. They didn't work at Samsung... but their mothers did! They entertained us with smiles, waves and just being darn cute.

(Miss Troy- just chillin' out with Raqui's sunglasses.)

(Miss Ava- smiling through some yummy baby food.)

It was nice to meet Ava and I was excited that she brought her Mom too. I hadn't seen Dee Dee since her shower last year. She and her husband Steve recently moved back to Austin from NYC and I am so happy!

For you ladies that weren't able to make it... we really missed you. Next time you will want to come because you will want to see Troy bust a move for you... (For you email folks- go to my blog for the following video.)
