Going Away Party

Our friends, Rusty and Jennifer Woolley, hosted a going away party for us in their new home on Saturday night. The theme was "Kyle and Melanie are 'desserting' us" so they served a variety of yummy desserts. It was a great chance to see our friends before our move to Georgetown. Kyle had taken his Board Exam earlier that day, so it was also a celebration that it was behind him.

Last Day at O'Neill Hill

After 3-1/2 great years at O'Neill Hill and Associates, it was time to for me (Melanie) to say goodbye at the end of June. Being a designer at the firm was a wonderful experience for me, and allowed me to grow in my career and gain valuable knowledge and training in corporate and healthcare design. Some of my favorite projects include St.Jude's Children's Research Hospital, Columbus Children's Hospital, the offices of Freeport LNG, People's Energy, and several others. When I started in January 2004, there were 10 employees, and now there are 30. O'Neill Hill was my home away from home, and I will miss the projects and the people I am used to seeing everyday.
On my last day, almost everyone was able to go to my farewell lunch. Kyle was invited to share in the occasion too. The group surprised us with a gift certificate to use towards a new grill, along with a bucket filled with grill-related stuff. What a thoughtful gift we will definitely enjoy in our new home!
