Some people do ROCK!

Today, was a busy day. I honestly felt like I could have pulled my hair out alongside my co-worker as we were just ssssoooo busy and I was feeling pretty overwhelmed. Now, I've been warned not to post any blogs about work but I think I can make an acception this one time because some people REALLY DO ROCK and it wouldn't be cool of me to not send a shout out to them. And, some of those people that REALLY DO ROCK, just happen to be people that I work with. :)

Now I don't always handle surprises well and am really impressed that I didn't bawl my eyes out. Mostly, I don't think I cried because I had NO IDEA what was happening. For those of you there, you know what I'm referring to and for those of you that don't, feel free to read on:

So today, I'm like 'whoa' busy and I cannot find ANYONE in our department to help me with something which just added to my OMG, I wish I had ten clones of myself.lol. But as I'm searching for someone, my supervisor comes around the corner and is like 'Where is everyone?' and I'm like, 'I was just wondering the SAME THING!' Then, one of my darling co-workers turns up and says, let's go for break and I think, okay, sounds goooood, I could use one. lol. She tells me we have to stop by the cafeteria and refuses to let me go pee first as we 'won't be long' and assures me I can hold it. Well, she lied (about the not being long part, I did however, manage to hold my bladder)!!! lol.

We head to the cafeteria and the doors are closed which usually means there's a 'private function' going on but she just walked right on up and opened the door and ignored my hesitation for reasons soon to be obvious to me. There WAS a private function, and it was for MMMMEEEEE! It only took me like three minutes to figure out....three minutes, that's not bad. Okay, it's bad but I'll admit I was confused and nervous because I had no idea why when my co-worker opened the door, about thirty friendly faces had their eyes on me. Then, our VP walks in and says 'Congratulations Kim' so I'm all like 'Did I get a promotion???' Actually, I think my first response was, but my birthday's not for two more weeks! lol. Then I made the promo comment. hehe.

As it turns out, some of the ladies I work with came up with this plan to throw me a lil' 'Hey, you got MARRIED' party which is just the sweetest thing!!! What's even more super fantastic is that like EVERYONE on our floor got in on it which means so much to me, it really, REALLY does. They went like WAY above and beyond anything I would have ever expected and for that, I am WOWED! There were pictures from our wedding, there was cake and fruit (YUM), and a shower gift, and some wedding gifts and really nice wishes from everyone saying congratulations. It was all very overwhelming and now I think I'm going to cry because it really was amazing and so thoughtful of everyone. :)

I have to say, people have been extremely generous and kind within work and out of work in regards to our marriage. The cards, the gifts, the warm wishes, the love, it's all been so wonderful. Keith and I really do appreciate it and know that there will be times in life where we have the opportunity to return the kindness. :)

Again, Keith and I would like to say thank you to everyone that has gone above and beyond for us in so many ways! :)

ps. Did I mention that MANY people we have in our lives REALLY DO ROCK?! lol.
