Long time coming

Wow...for the first time in a while I'm so happy to say that, I had a great day today! Work went smoothly...I actually had a chance to hide away in my office with very few distractions; I had my evaluation today, which went well and I received a raise today; I attended a gathering at Mom's house tonight to meet all the new members of mom's soon to be step family; and tomorrow is the first of 3 days off in a row!

Ron and Mom hosted a family gathering -which Ron ensured Mom need not lift a finger and therefore hired the most incredible caterer....the food was yummy! And I got to sit around and listen to my cousin Richard jam with one of the world's most foremost classical guitar players, Don Ross (who also just happens to be my future step-brother). There ended up being 45 of us in attendance....small family gathering....the Ross' making up 11 of that number and the rest being my family (Qortnee, I know you understand!) HAHA....good times.

And the past few days at work have been incredible. I met some wonderful people this week - even got asked to go on a road trip to Newfoundland for the weekend by a group of visitors! Gotta love it!

Well, I'm off...to veg, and enjoy my first night of "mini vacation". Tomorrow.... shopping, hairdresser's and drinks with the ladies. Sounds like a good start to me! I've also included a pic of me and mom, the happy new bride-to-be!
