Last night was my going away event with my office - it ended up being a three-part event! In the middle of the afternoon, our managing partner gathered everyone around my desk (snuck up on me!) and gave me flowers...and a knife bullet (???) He found a bullet at a gas station store that had a built-in pocket knife - he told me that's so that the people in Calgary know that we Atlantic Canadians mean business :p At the end of the work day a bunch of us gathered in our kitchen for drinks and some munchies...then we headed to a local gastropub for more drinks and munchies. It was a great night! They gave me a lovely gift (even nicer than the bullet knife!) of a photo of Peggy's Cove where they all signed the matt around the edges. I LOVE IT!! I know a lot of hard work went into this and it means more to me than they'll ever truly know. This will be the first photo to go up on my new walls when I arrive :)
Boarding pass is printed, bags are somewhat packed and in about 28 hours I will be landing in my new city... last minute visiting with some friends and family today before I go. Thankful that the weather has cooperated this week and that we didn't get our usual weekly weather bomb!
