Living in Savannah 2

Friday ~ my last day at work. Dr. G wrote me the best recommendation letter and before he left for the day he gave me a personal note along with a hug. Even teared up a bit, which you never see him do! He told me that his practice will never be the same and if I ever need a job to call him. I do miss working with him. Everyone else in the office was crying when I left and they had taken some pics of them and the other doctors and made a little picture book for me. I thought that was very sweet.

Saturday ~ Caitlin turned 17! Hard to believe! She invited about 6 of her friends over and we had gumbo with fresh bread and red velvet cake. They all had a good time, spent the night and watched scary movies. Mom made us all pancakes for breakfast the next morning :)

Sunday ~ I took a nap,lol

Yesterday mom and I got busy packing. I had been packing stuff I knew we wouldn't be using now its time to get the rest done. We did Justin and most of Caitlin's. Today is the kitchen. Ben should be here Thursday evening. I really miss him!!

Tomorrow Justin graduates from the 5th grade. Time sure does fly by! They both get out of school on Friday.

Thank you all for the prayers and hugs on Matthew's birthday. Those days will always be bittersweet now.

  Gretchen you were one special nurse for Dr. G, know he'll miss you.  How nice of him to give you a great recommendation, note and hug.  The picture book made for you was sweet. Sounds like Caitlin had a great 17th with her friends. Enjoy Justin's graduation tomorrow.  Sounds like you'll be good and busy getting everything ready for your move. But, if ever a move was worth it, this one is dear. Always in my thoughts and prayers.  Arlene (AJ)
