Goodbye Luncheon

Yesterday was my last day at work at HBA for the foreseeable future! And with less than four weeks until baby is due, I'm really grateful that I'll be able to get more rest. At our doctor's appointment on Thursday, the doctor recommended that it was time for me to stop working, since I was spending too much time on my feet. Friday was scheduled to be my last day anyways, so the timing worked out perfectly. Matt and I were really blessed on Friday by the middle school teachers preparing a special goodbye aloha luncheon for us.


The most meaningful part of the lunch was that Mr. Hom wrote and sang a wonderful song for Matt and I to the tune of "Oh Mandy." Mr. and Mrs. Hom have known Matt since he was in high school, as Mr. Hom was the athletic director at the time and their daughter graduated in the same class. Mrs. Hom teaches English on the high school campus, and I have had the priviledge of working on with Mr. Hom, who teaches 7th grade science, on the middle school team this year. They are a really neat family, and a fixture at HBA. Check out the video and lyrics below:

Lyrics:

Lesley came to HBA, teaching high school math each day,
Had enough of that, the middle school's where it's at,
Her tummy's getting fat, and here's the reason...

You are Matthew Stevens' wife, loving you completes his life,
He would run around, mile after mile,
Couldn't settle down, 'till he saw your smile

Oh Lesley, God bless you, you're gonna be mommy,
And Matt will be daddy,
Oh Lesley, you're leaving to raise up a family,
And baby makes three, Oh Lesley

Lesley and Obama we know, both attended Punahou,
But her heart is with the crew, of our middle school
Jesus is the glue, that keeps us together
