Kumiko Love Instagram – Today, I want to celebrate a very special person!
It’s Ryen’s birthday, and I wanted to take the time to acknowledge her impact on my life.
I met Ryen at a Starbucks in Spokane Valley in 2020 when she interviewed for my first job posting as my assistant. Before she applied for the position, Ryen was a follower of The Budget Mom.
Over 500 people applied for the job, and I conducted over 150 interviews. I followed my mom’s advice to hire based on someone’s heart and values, and it was the best decision I have ever made for my business.
Little did I know back then that Ryen would not just be my assistant but also one of my dearest friends. Ryen is kind, patient, understanding, and funny, and I cherish our daily phone calls.
This year marks five years that Ryen has worked for The Budget Mom, taking on every role and becoming absolutely indispensable. Besides ALL the hats she wears (which is totally unfair to her), she has also helped me navigate some of the most significant decisions I have made for my company.
Ryen has changed the quality of my life, allowing me to step away and have more freedom and time with my family. I will be forever grateful that we met over four years ago.
Happy birthday, my sweet friend. I see you. I appreciate you. I love you.
