An Amazing Finish....

..to an amazing year!!
There's nothing like getting tricked into waking up at 7am to be at work by 7:30....
That's just what happened today.  I was told that due to another Team Lead being stuck out of town, I had to work the opening shift.  Then when I arrived at work I was told I had to go to the Managers meeting to find out more about the Village Store remodel project happening in a week...
I felt very out of my element, even though I know most of the Managers in the Park....
Little did I know I was tricked! by Pam and Ron.....
The real reason??
~~~Associate of the Month for December 2011~~~
I received a beautifully framed Ansel Adams Print of Half Dome and $100 Gift Certificate as well as the kind words from my Manager Ron and his Manager Renea.
It's my pleasure to work here in Yosemite!!  I am so lucky to be a part of a kick-ass team of people helping to run the best store in the Valley!!

Thanks Ron and Pam and everyone....I will continue to do my best...

I painted my first water color to give to my parents for Christmas.....It turned out much better than I could even imagine!!  Yosemite has surely been good for my artistic spirit....:)
