Get Together With My Friends in Tampa

Today my best friend Alexia put together a going away party for me after work.  I had a wonderful time!  It was exciting to see some of the inspectors I had worked with years ago who are now retired.  Here I am doing one of the things I love to do best....talking!  Alexia mentioned how quiet it is in the office on days I'm not there!

I managed to not completely burst into tears, but it wasn't easy.  I am excited about starting my new job in D.C., but I am extremely sad to be leaving all my friends in the Tampa area.
