My surprise EKG going away party!

I seriously have the best co-workers anyone could ask for! I received a text last night telling me I would not need to make a lunch for work today and I should bring my camera, if I wanted :). When I got to work this morning there was quite a bustle going already, it continued most of the day and the hushed conversations became more frequent among the ones that abruptly stopped altogether when I walked into the room. There was a lot of body positioning going on as well to hide certain items and many big smiles were shot my way. I was getting excited and anxious needless to say and was relieved when Kem grabbed my hand and finally led me to the conference room where everyone was waiting. They had a lovely (and huge) lunch set out and a scrapbook page on the table that everyone had signed for me. So sweet! We had a great time talking, eating and going over all the exciting wedding/moving plans in my very near future.


Lunch EKG style. Just doing what we do best!

(Funny side story- Yesterday at work Juett was saying how she was on a baking craze and needed to make something that night. She quickly asked me for some good ideas. I have as most of you know been off sweets (sugar in general) for a few months now but have an obsession with baking blogs and baking myself. I figured out I eat with my eyes instead of my mouth. It's not quite as satisfying but its close enough and it sure helps to maintain my girlish figure ha! So I told her I know what I would make and quickly printed the recipe for her. It was for a chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake with caramel and hot fudge sauce. Hello! I said if I could eat any sweet right now it would be that! Well, guess who fell into Juett's sneaky little trick like a real sucker!? Needless to say, after my delicious lunch I treated myself and had a piece of the most delicious chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake with extra hot fudge and caramel and it was soo worth it!)

Can't take her anywhere! ;)


Pretty ladies, minus a few!


I am going to miss this.

I have been so lucky to have such a great job and great friends/coworkers! I have made some lifelong friends and let's not forget that's where I met my one and only Jeffrey! It has taught me so many things and opened some great doors for me as far as experience goes. I am proud to say I have been an EKG tech and an IHC employee. I am going to miss so many things about my job and hope to find something as equally fun and challenging in CT. I am going to miss my EKG lab and coworkers, they have been my family for the past 2 years! Thank you guys for everything you have done for me and Jeff!
