a box full of memories

talk about emotional. this morning i went downstairs and found my portfolio. i couldn't tell you the last time i even opened the thing up. it had been so long since i had actually seen my work that when i opened the box up a flood of emotions came racing back...the people i had worked with, the stories behind my ideas, late nights, etc. wow! i had forgotten about most of the stuff in it, so it was a nice surprise to see everything again. honestly i even surprised myself at the level of my work. talk about looking at something with fresh eyes! ahhhh....

the reason for my decision to pull it out and take a look at everything was because its time. time for what, you may ask? time to return to the job market. i'm scared to death but with the economy like it is, lacey starting kindergarten in the fall and the fact i'm not getting any younger, my time is finally up. i've always known this time would come and well it seems to be here. there is really not much i have to do per say to get back in the game and that is a good feeling. other than changing my files over to digital, making my resume current and hitting the ground to look for a job i'm pretty much already there. yikes!!!

here's a little peek inside my book....
