Mother's Day Special

Mother's Day came and went this past Sunday, but we have some special messages from our team that deserve some spotlight.

“gpac has given me more than just an opportunity to make a living. This opportunity has allowed me to be present in my 3 boys’ lives. I haven’t had to miss any of my kids’ activities and I have been able to provide them with a life that I thought was never possible. They are my WHY and continue to be my reason to keep working hard.” Heather Metz

“My favorite thing is being a momma!” Mikayla Zielinski

“gpac has provided me the opportunity to give my kids a life I never thought possible. They’re truly the reason I started this journey to begin with. Anything is possible here!” Jasmin Pierce

“For me, I feel like as a mom… we make a lot of sacrifices for our children the reward is when you see your sacrifices did not go in vain. I love all of my children and am proud of each of them. But my Grandson.. is my bestie” Mercy Hollis

“Being a mom and working at the pac has been such blessing. Truly life changing. The WORK/LIFE INTEGRATION allows us all to do what we do for a living from anywhere we are needed most.” Amy Thomsen - Senior Director

"I have had a note taped to my computer for years and it says, 'Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you'." Julie Gross

“As a mom, I am thankful for the Pac for many reasons! First is the work-life balance I have, I get to share the weekends with family, and I get to spend the weeknights at my son's sporting practices and that wasn't possible for me before I joined gpac. Second is the discipline and routines I have implemented here, they have helped me and my family become more disciplined and routine-driven, and that has helped us thrive in life! I recommend gpac to any mamas out there. Best job ever!” Samantha Akin

“Gpac has given me some amazing opportunities as a mother. I can do things for my girls now that I couldn’t before. We can travel more, I can put them in gymnastics and give them things I have always wanted to. I work so hard for my girls. I can also be there for the things that matter the most. I get to show up for them every single day, no matter what, and that means more to me than anything in the world. The flexibility this job has given me is hands down the reason why I love gpac so much. The financial freedom is definitely in line for the second best reason to be here ??" Kayonnie Kitto

“Being a mother has been the best gift in life that I have received and I am forever grateful for my 2 children!” Alison Grunwald

“My words of advice as mother that I learned is to truly appreciate every moment with your kids. Be blessed they are healthy and happy, my oldest just graduated this May, and makes me look back on how fast time truly does fly. Don’t take these moments for granted.” Jess Smyser

"I was a new mom and one Sunday at Church I was speaking to a woman I had never spoken to. She told me she was a grandma and the best advice she could give was 'The days are long, but the years are short'. And on the crazy days those words have always stuck in my brain, and made it easier for me to forget the stressful moments and soak it all in because it doesn't last forever.” Hannah Lowry Menjivar

“Mother’s Day is extra special this year as my little on turns one, being able to have the laptop lifestyle and still spend time with her is one of many favorites of this job even when she does crash some meetings, or working outside while she plays, we make the days fun! Happy Mothers Day to all the mommas.” Kat Boles

“It took me 10.5 yrs to be a mom. I am mom to our lil boy Randy who is now almost 4 he has been the greatest blessing ever!!! Time sure flies. Those struggling or know of anyone who is with infertility, tell them we understand and don't give up!! Not easy but worth it ??” Sarah Peck

“My boys are always in my corner and rooting me on.” Lori Bierschbach

To every mom, we hope you had a wonderful, joyful, and heartfelt Mother's Day.
