Sadly it's true.. the A-Bird has flew the coup. Although I've absolutely loved my time as a KAOS staff member, the time has come for me to stretch my wings and explore new worlds - more accurately, I'll be beginnning my position with Composite High School as an Educational Assistant next week.

And now, as it is with most things that come to the end, it is a time to reflect. Something that I'm eternally grateful for is that when I take the time to think back on my last seven months with KAOS Radio, I find myself smiling.

Here are a few of the highlights of working at KAOS (in no particular order):

1. Making a rap commercial with Jonathan Andrews.

I'm not sure if any memory will stick out as much as two white guys trying (unsuccessfully) at breaking down some beats. There were a lot of laughs and that much more flops but it came out in the end with the excellent skill that Jonathan has. Also, I'll miss hidding under Jonathan's desk and trying to scare him when he comes out of the bathroom.

2. Stuart's bear hugs.

There was no better way to start off the day then by coming into the station and getting submerged in that bear of a man's arms. He was always there to listen to me talk about work and life (mostly life) and was a great encouragement. One of the greatest things that has come out of my time at KAOS is having Stuart as a good friend.

3. Talking football with Jehy.

Could I possibly be any more lucky then to be a Green Bay Packer fan and be working with someone from Wisconsin? We screamed with joy in the victories and cried one eachother's shoulders in the defeats. Perhaps that's a little extreme but either way, Jehy was a hoot to work with.  

4. Dieting with Jill.

"Can I talk about this Jill?" Hope so! Haha. To say it lightly, I have little control with eating healthy and sticking to my Isagenix plan, which, by the way is going fairly well (down 5.5lbs). Jill was always there to give me a hard time if she found me rooting around in the candy, and I was more then eger to catch her in the act also. Thanks for keeping me healthy Jill!   

5. Meeting Rick Kirschner

There are times in life where someone comes across your path who demonstrates complete originality, sencerity, a love for people, and class - then you'll be distraced away from that person by Rick pinching you in the butt. Haha. But seriously, I'm truely honored to of had the chance to get to know and work with Rick. He has put a lot of faith in me and has helped me grow, not only in my career, but also as a man of God. He has become a good friend and a mentor and I will truely miss working with him.

God bless KAOS as it continues to do ministry in Wood Buffalo!
