It {Was} My Party

Last week, after the last BLT show, the station threw me the most lovely party...and I thought maybe you might like to see some pictures from the day!

We all gathered around the table in the conference room, and Ryan and I sat at the end, looking out over the faces of the people who had encouraged me, taught me {literally} everything I knew about radio, and did life with me for these last four years.

They gave me some lovely totally-Bekah gifts:
 Claiming my coffee...Craig there in the hat is my fellow coffee addict, and I knew if I put that bag down, he could not be trusted. :)
My favorite part of the party...when my co-workers shared memories. Oh my goodness. They made me laugh AND cry.




I shared...and cried...and passed out my letters to everyone, and even Ryan talked for a bit.


And then....the food. Oh my dear people. The food!!!!! Because it's one of my favorite places, they ordered BBQ from Shigs in Fort Wayne, and they got the best dessert: A Cheesecake Named Desire from Coldstone Creamery. My mouth is watering just typing all that.

 I wish I could say this reaction was unique to the party. In truth, this is how I greet lunch every day.
 Ross also loves Shigs. He was pretty excited.
 I call this piece Men in Black....

 Amy and I have eaten lunch together for four years. We've decided we may have to FaceTime our lunches now because we are so sad to lose that time!! {Don't you like how she and Ryan coordinated for this photo???}
 That cake....oh it's so good. It's an ice cream cake with a raspberry layer...so much goodness.
This station does parties up right. I left feeling AWFULLY loved.

Oh goodness, what a fabulous party. And I thought my going away party from work which included me going away with about 20 lbs of assorted chocolate, was incredible! The impact you had on the lives on your coworkers is evident. What a blessing you were to your listeners and your coworkers/ friends.

This looks like a super fun, super tasty, super awesome party. And how great that your co-workers had a chance to share stories and memories as well.
