Previous employment experience:
December 20th, 2006 | This past Monday I began the eleventh job I have ever had. I am working for two weeks (winter break) at a warehouse for Excell Marketing.

valley church intern gets the best job award because you worked BOTH summers with me, right? yeah, that’s what i thought. you’re home, i’m home…miss you friend, let’s hang out soon.
The internship was certainly the most fattening of the lot. I hope you have a great break. See you in ‘07 some time.
Any job where you get paid to have fun and hang out with kids is the best job ever. And those lovely ladies you interned with made it fun as well.
I will second Jennifer’s comment about the lovely ladies…I don’t think it gets better than me, Molly, and Miss Samantha! : ) Valley Church Interns are pretty much awesome. I think it has something to do with the incredible boss we get to work for… : )
