Goodbye In-n-Out ...

...Hello retirement

until baby comes 

In August I said goodbye to working at In-n-out burger

it was bitter sweet 

I cried 

only for a day 

In-n-out was my first job 

I got hired during my senior year of high school

they were so great with working with my school/ cheer schedule 

and continued to be great with working with my crazy college schedule 

I remember there were times when I could only work Fri night and Saturday 

and they made it work 

They let me take a leave of absence when I lived in Hawaii for the summer 

and they did the same when I Study Abroad in Italy 

I was able to transfer down to the Mira Mesa location when we moved to La Jolla 

and when we bought our Condo in Oceanside 

I transferred again to the Carlsbad location  

Nathan and I loved attending the company picnics 

(except the last one was kinda lame) 

and the company would always give gifts to the employees for being accident free

we always got a Christmas present from the company 

and there was usually a Holiday party or breakfast

sometimes I would drag myself out of bed for the breakfast

I loved working in the team/family atmosphere 

and always enjoyed my time working 

but with a family wedding, vacation and a husband sick of me working every Saturday

it was time to say goodbye 

My last day/last store meeting 

Over this last year, 

my boss had me trained all the new hires 

and on my last day at the meeting 

they announced that my most recent batch of trainees got promoted 

it has been nice to see how my various trainees have grown and progressed throughout the year

Me and many of my trainees 

Since quitting In-n-out 

Nathan and I have been and continue to be busy 

every weekend 

it's exhausting but fun 

luckily I never have plans during the week so I can rest more 

but seriously

My next weekend without any plans is Nov 10th

and even then I am busy 2 out of the 4 weekends in November 

but back to the point of this post 

if there is even a point 

thank you In-n-out 

it was a great 61/2 years 

but I am ready to start my new chapter in life 

as a mommy

you will always hold a special place in my heart 

and my stomach 

 I will visit
