Happy Six Year Anniversary!

All good things must come to an end.  Although it didn't always seem good, over all it was really good.  Had my last day in IKEA Food today :(  I am sad to be leaving such a great group of people (yes I will still see them around the store, but not be working closely with them anymore, will have a new team to get to know).  Had a 'farewell' today with all of IKEA Food leadership team, my new manager in Customer Relations, the store manager and some co workers.  Was really nice!  Some very endearing speeches were made, it really makes me feel appreciated which is such a great feeling.  It is nice to be recognized and rewarded for all my hard efforts, one of the reasons I love IKEA so much (the opportunities for those who want and work hard for them) and of course all of the people I work with.

I suppose I should enjoy my weekend of 'empty brain'.  (in between jobs so I have no stresses right now, finished with one and have yet to start the next:)

Dan and I 6 year Anniversary today:

Happy 6 years to such a wonderful and amazing person!  I love you beyond words, you are my anchor in life and always will be.  I'm so lucky to have met you on this day 6 years ago, I can't imagine my life without you in it, sharing every moment, every emotion.  Who knows what our future holds, all I know is it looks pretty damn exciting! xoxoxox

Not sure what the plan is yet for tonight, waiting for Dan to get home from work first.  Tomorrow we plan to head to Warburton for the night/weekend.  Dan's parent's are up North for a little while, so we thought we'd take advantage of a little getaway together this weekend.  So nice and peaceful up there, away from the hussle and bussle in the mountains/countryside, will be an 'ahhhhhh' weekend.  We plan to just relax, hopefully get a few wedding plans in place, maybe a nice walk somewhere (there's some great trails around that area so hopefully the weathers nice and we can take Junior for a stroll).  That's pretty much the weekend there, I'm SO looking forward to it :)

Got me some new glasses the other day.  Two for the price of one, gotta like it! :)  I think I look quite studious.  Will be needed if I meant to stare at a computer screen all day every day during studies.  If I get a good photo of myself in them I'll put it up ;)

Still waiting to receive my letter of offer from school, was supposed to get it a week-week and a half ago, hopefully it comes this coming week.  Need to get a few things in order so I'm able to actually study.  I'm so excited to do this!  I was having a chat with the store manager Innes the other day, he seemed pretty excited that I'm going to study Graphic Design and hopefully get into Comm&In (communications & interior design) afterwards, he said there's some great opportunities there be it I fill in while people are away in other countries working on projects or I myself get to go to other countries like China, Sweden, etc to work on projects.  Mel, the Graphic Design manager is in Sweden right now for 2.5 months working on a project and a few girls went to China not to long ago to help open a new store.  Pretty exciting!!  Let's hope it all works out for the best.

Junior in his favourite spot.  He had just woken up, but you could never tell....hehe

So we had a bit of a prank week at work, had to get in my last jokes before I left.  It all started at the beginning of the week when I sticky taped all the mouses down in the office (hehehe:).  When Con & Peter came in the next day they had a good laugh at that.  So before they left that day they decided to demolish the office incl: the chairs and my computer area.  Very funny (I work with a bunch of children?!).  So that night before I left, I put tape on the bottom of all of the mouses, so when they try to use them it doesn't register on the computer b/c the tape is blocking the laser on the bottom (hehehehe:).  Well, luckily I got the last prank b/c I think they gave up after that. (I hope?!).  I did have to watch my back all day today b/c I wasn't sure if I was going to walk in on anything or not :P

Well, best sign off, time to get on with this weekend, oh, I get two weekends in a row off too!! :D  yeehaa!  With my roster changing in the this new role I start Monday it works out that I get two off in a row, VERY excited about that :D  Chow for now xxx
