From Cradle to Grave

Food food food.


Just had to let you know that the leftovers from the PCS auction were amazing.

Monday night was the PCS staff appreciation banquet. I am now staff therefore I am now appreciated. Thank you. And guess what they had at the banquet? Food!

It was my pleasure to get to sit with the Fays and my boss. Peoria pops was there to entertain, as well as alot of the staff. Mr. Bruer led the secret identity game which basically is the game show version of the tried and true Career Impact "secret fact about yourself" game.





It was great to see my old English teacher who had to put up with me win the High School teacher of the year award. Mrs. Bordeux, who's 3rd grade class I am trying to learn all the names of, won for elementary, and Bruce, a Bethany guy, won for the Middle School.


The board put on most of the show organizing and leading it as an act of service to the staff. Nice to see them more and get to know who's making all the decisions.

The staff put their names on pieces of paper and dropped them in baskets next to prizes they wanted to win. You could choose as many prizes as you wanted, but only one name per basket. We then spent over an hour watching Nate draw names from each basket. The first prize you win is the one you take home (no more). I....got the door prize like several other folks. If only I was a fan of Vera Bradley designs, I totally could have walked away with a stationary set.

So what's with the title? Two very special birthdays. My boss and a nine year old share the same birth date. Guess which one invited me to the lunch party? The nine year old.


Twas a great little party hosted by the principal (he doesn't know it) with cake, balloons and laughs.
