Change.

Today my co-workers threw me a goodbye luncheon to bid me adieu on my way to my new career. It was the single most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me - and yes I cried and blubbered like the silly woman I am. NONETHELESS, I just wanted to write this down:

Jackie- you are the most amazing person. I am continually impressed by your optimism, by your brilliance and by your creativity. I know this world is a crazy, scary place, but as long as you are in my world I know I can make it through. Thank you for being my rock and my stability these past few years. I so appreciate you.

Ida- you are the mother I never had. I knew the second you walked into my cubicle my world was going to change, and it changed for the better. You have done so much for me right down to planning my goodbye luncheon. I don't even know how to repay you for your kind words, for all of your counsel and for being my friend. You will always be the wild one, and I love that about you. I live vicariously through your travels and your wild experiences, and I hope to one day be half the woman you are.


To the County of San Luis Obispo and to all of my amazing co-workers: thank you for helping me grow, thank you for being my friend and thank you for helping pay my college tuition for the past three years. You will always be in my heart...and on my resume :D.
