Employee of the year...

As many of you know, I work for Harris Research Inc. The last year has been good and bad. I consider myself extremely blessed to work for this company. We are the corporate offices for 2 brands I have grown to love, Nhance wood renewal and Chemdry Carpet Cleaning. My role with Chemdry has weaned and changed slightly and my role with Nhance has grown in conjunction.
Every year both brands hold a kick off convention to address issues, show innovative new processes and products and to give awards for milestones and innovation. Nhance convention was in New Orleans, LA.
Not everyone from NHI(Nhance corp.) Went the convention, a handful of us stayed behind and held down the fort making sure that things on the home front , me included in that select group :)
My boss Ed Quinlan arranged a meeting with me for Thursday at 10am. When I came into his office I sat in the chair directly in front of his desk but he asked me to move to the other chair because he was expecting a call... I didn't really think anything about it. We were talking about how my department and the changes that are coming. 
When his phone rang he gave it to me and asked me to answer it. It was a FaceTime call from the Nhance convention. The nhance franchisees chose me as their employee of the year. I have a plaque that has my name on it (the first one was black said Crystal Coltin, but the second one is wood and awesome)
It was such a pleasant suprise.
We then had a staff meeting at work on January 22nd, we talked about our year end numbers and the growth that the company has experienced. All of the normal staff meeting garb. And of course they announced the employees of the month for November and December. They also announced the employee and manager of the year awards too.
I was chosen for December's employee of the month. I went to the front and Ed talked about some of the contributions that I have given, thanked me for my hard work and explained the reward for this award...which is that I get an additional day of vacation  and a gift card (I chose to get a movie theater gift card)
Within the company, the way that employee of the year is chosen is between the 12 employees  that were chosen for the months in that year.
I had just sat down and the very next slide revealed the employee of the year... it was me :)... I was so so so suprised. It is an amazing honor that I am recognized for the hard work and dedication that I give to my job and the work that I do. I don't  do it to get recognition or for a pat on the back. I just want to make sure I am doing everything that I can to go above and beyond.
A great honor to know that I work for the best company out there. My home away from home!

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! Because there were so many people in town for Kyah's Baptism. We decided that Our church house was the solution to this problem. Luckily Aaron thought ahead and had the Gym and Kitchen booked Like 3 weeks in advance. ( thanks Honey ) All of our family that came for the event were ther and so were some of our closest friends. The only one I didn't get a picture of were Katie and Joel because they had to leave early. One of the best things about our families is that the In-Laws get along great! In fact they were chatting it up the entire time they were together. Aaron was so worried that we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone, He practically obsessed over it , but when it was all said and done. there was SOOO much left over food that we were begging people to take some home with them! This was a wonderful reason for a family gathering and I am so glad that i have a bright special Young girl that has chosen to take the first step ...

Athena Winter Farnsworth made her debut on Friday September 5, at 2:44 pm. We couldnt be more ecstatic. Kyah did really well. She was induced, she went to the hospital at 6:15 and even before starting patossin, she was dilated to a 3 and contracting.  She asked me to come with she and John to help support her through her labor. I was more than happy to go. I was ready for the long haul, because i was in labor with her for almost 18 hours. But she progressed so steadily. She was at a 5 busy 12, and by 2 was pushing.  She did so great. She was a trooper through it all. It was such a special experience to be able to document the day for them.  She of course has my nose 🥳... the genes are strong for that one. Aaron and I are just elated  to be a grammy and grumpa again!  She is home now and we are all smitten with her. We are very blessed to have those little one join our family. Congrats Kyah and John!  ...

AND THE VERDICT IS... A mix of # 4 and # 5. I went to the hair stylist and hacked off 12 inches of beautiful hair today. When she did it I almost got light-headed. It is very different, When I walked through the door, the first thing Aaron said to me was ... " I DON'T LIKE IT ! " Well I knew that he would react this way because he LOVES long hair. I LO VE it though and it took about 5 minutes to style( which is a far cry from long hair that you have to blow-dry, straighten and then keep out of your face all day) I am very excited about this new look . I told Aaron , Just look at it this way... Look at all the money I am saving us on shampoo and extra water for the time it took me in the shower.... He didn't appreciate my humor. Oh well. ;O)
