Yikes, It's been awhile....

Hi all, sorry for the delay! I know I left it on a cliff-hanger with work and left you all hanging for three weeks. Well, it ended up great. The last day was very sweet- I got many thoughtful gifts and cards, and had a lot of fun at my goodbye party. As we were wrapping up the party, Greg, the CEO, came running into the room because he wanted to be there but was stopped up. We kept the party going for another hour. It was really sweet.

And boy, has it been nice to be done! I've spent the last three weeks doing nothing and doing a lot at the same time. I got sunburned the first week (after the rain filled fourth of july fiesta), played golf and hung out with family and friends the second week, and have spent this week partly on vacation with Bryan and partly organizing and getting our house the office ready for school! Four bags of clothes, purses, wallets, shoes, etc to goodwill! Here are some highlights...

Kristen came to visit for my birthday and the fourth of July weekend!

Brett, Georgette and Grace also made the trip up for the 4th

Just a funny picture :-)

Our good friend, Lauren, got married!

We went on vacation to Alderbrook Resort on Hood Canal for a few days after the wedding

A bloody mary with a crab claw!

Hope you all are doing well and getting some good sun (unless it's over 110deg like in Phoenix!)!!! 

Love, Lauren & Bryan

Two more days!

Ah, the end is near! Yay!!

The early part of the week has been trying and fairly crazy, but yesterday evening I stayed late to finish up all the actual work I have left to do so these next few days can just be me organizing and having fun. A day of meetings today (exit interview this morning) and then tomorrow will be here!

I'm sure tomorrow I'll begin to get sad when saying goodbye, but for now, I'm just ready to get to that point tomorrow! Thanks for all your good thoughts- I think it really helped this week.
