My sorority sisters from Chi Omega are amazing and just thinking of them always brings a smile to my face.
In fact, all 5 of them drove to Algona to help at the shop for a weekend (they worked NON-STOP),
and even surprised me with the first ever Chocolate Season t-shirt (they are so creative!)Each girl in my family is completely different, but somehow, we all share a common bond and explode with happiness or laughter whenever we're around each other.
The first in my family is Julie, she is my little sis. With a heart for those in her neighborhood and for those around the world, she never stops giving and with a listening ear, gives amusing but insightful advice. Julie was the first Chocolate Season employee and i count her as one of my most cherished friends.
Next in the lineage is Felicia, Julie's lil' sis. When Julie left for Africa, Felicia stepped in as Chocolate Season employee number two. Felicia is candid and witty. She has many attributes, including an insane amount of intelligence and drive, but also an odd sense of humor and uncanny ability to knit :)
After Felicia comes Hannah. I looooove how blunt and honest Hannah is. She and I can laugh about anything and she is quite the fashionista, (i love it when she lets me borrow her stylish threads!) I truly believe she is going to be the world's best mother, or the first multi-millionaire global real estate queen.
Hannah's lil' is Jena. And Jena is a lil' lil' :) She is my perfect pocket-sized sister and her smile is nothing but contagious. Jena's gutsy and daring, and i couldn't imagine my perfect Saturday night without her and her many stories. Hannah and Jena both have stepped on multiple occasions at a moment's notice to help with the biz and I'm so grateful for their support and hard work.
and last but certainly not least, would be our newest lil', Molly. Since the move happened right when she joined the family, i have not had a ton of time with her, so i relish any opportunities i get to talk with her.She is very sweet and genuine, and as i found out when she came to algona, quite the aspiring chef (she could make a yogurt sauce that would knock your socks off...and her mudball pre-coating ability is inspiring) and i can't wait for her to come back to the shop!
love you girls :) and thank you for all your support, encouragement and time, and for always laughing (or attempting a small chuckle) at all my bad jokes :P
