On Monday, I received an email from the John Hatley (our controller) advising that we would have a staff meeting on Tuesday at 2:00 PM.  This was odd given the fact that we haven't had a staff meeting in over a year.  So, I wasn't completely surprised when the staff meeting turned out to be a bridal shower.

We are a small group - just eight of us.  Almost everyone was there - John, Edie, Barbara, Randi, Jean, and Rita.  Unfortunately, Kimberlie was sick and was at home for the day.  We had some yummy cake and talked about the wedding, and marriage.

Jean has some interesting advice.  She said that when she was a girl her mother told her to find a man that treated his mother with respect as that would be an indication of how he would treat his wife. This made me smile. I feel confident that Matt will show me the same love and respect that he gives to his mother.  

I feel very fortunate to have such supportive co-workers!  I hope that the friendships I have made here will endure the life changes that are ahead of me!
