We would like this blog to encapsulate exactly what the title refers to. The "memoirs", the memories, the observations and the life experiences that occur at Burke Manor. Why Burke Manor, you ask? Anytime someone new would come to visit our home Josh would always say, "welcome to Burke Manor". It just sort of stuck so now we have, "The Memoirs of Burke Manor".

Leaving Much Like I Came
I started working at Bethany Christian Services in September 2003. When I came to Bethany I was in a tiny office off Little Page Street downtown. Daily there was no one in the office the majority of the time except myself. Today is my last day at Bethany and it is truly bittersweet, and it ends much the same way I started. At around 3pm I was the only one in the office finishing up a few last minute tasks before I leave for good. I have worked at Bethany for the past seven years as a pregnancy counselor. Helping women and families who are in need of positive options for their unborn children. Pregnancy Counseling has been a good match for me and I could not have seen myself doing anything else for the past seven years. Though I will miss Bethany I truly look forward to what God has in store. I hope to live every day to the fullest and not take any of the time I have to spend with my precious daughter for granted. The past seven years have flown by and I know Ainsley's little life will do the same. I am sad to close the "career" chapter of my life, but I am so excited to start the next chapter. I have been blessed to be able to serve women and children for the past seven years. Now I look forward to serving my husband and daughter and hopefully raising Ainsley to where she will seek to ultimately serve the Lord, but to also serve people.
