PARTY!!!

Let me just say my "Going Away Party" from work was AWESOME!  My director (and friend!), co-workers, and my husband planned the mighty fine event for me and it rocked.  The night was perfect and we had such a great time.  It felt really good having everyone celebrate with me and my husband and wish us well as we entered into our new adventure with me at home.

I am so thankful for the years at CIAC and more grateful for the relationships and friendships I established while there.  I won't do a lot of captioning on the pictures...let me just warn you, there's A LOT.  But, a lot of them speak for themselves.  The whole night was happy & full of excitement.

Thanks Team!

 I am sooo ready for this night!

 And excited my husband is too!

 After having dinner with Johna & Justin at Gusto's, we met everyone at the Star Bar to kick off the night and this is what sat waiting for me on the table!

 A "Big" Size Martini glass filled with pretties & a gift!

 And...a regular size Martini! 

 Yay!  It was so exciting walking into a decorated table filled with goodies and all of my co-workers sitting around to greet me!
