week 19 meant my last week at my beloved baking job. urban standard became my home away from home in birmy. i started working there in only our second month in alabama, when i knew almost no one in the state. over the years, blake & i met so many friends at the shop and felt much more at home. after graduating from pastry school, i was enabled to create my dream job. i could not be more grateful for the experience.
saying goodbyes are always hard. saying goodbye to your dream job when 19 weeks pregnant - oh my goodness, so many tears!
over my last week, i made so many of my favorite treats, customers' favorite treats, & a few fancy things i had been wanting to try. but my last day was purely selfish with my favorite espresso donuts, my favorite chocolate chip orange zest cookies, & my favorite spicy mexican chocolate cake bites. blakey & i even shared one a piece. & they were delicious :)
with all of the goodbyes were also many hugs, so many kind words, two beautiful flower bouquets, fun photos of me baking, & more fun gifts. helen even taught me how to make her amazing banana pudding! y'all have to try it. ask me. i'll make it for you.
goodness gracious, y'all are the best. four of the best years of my life with so much learning & experiencing & loving. urban, you are so going to be missed.
love love,
kjp.
No question you left your mark on that place...and they left their mark on you too! What a fun & fulfilling time you had there. And now it's on to a new & exciting career as mommy!
