Our Open Office

As you know, Lynne and I moved into a new office in January. I first found out about the move right about a year ago, when we were told about the remodeling plans at work, and then everything was delayed several times, giving us about three days to move before this year's Share took place. It was busy!! We've spent the weeks since then, trying to decorate and make it home, and when we finally decided it was about as homey as we could make it, we decided to throw an "open office" for our co-workers.

We sent out invitations, and the day of the open office, I hung a reminder on the door. {As if people forget anything involving food.}

We laid out the spread of food...Lynne made homemade chocolate chip cookies and Scotcharoos and I made Cheesy Mexican dip and a BLT cheeseball from a dip mix one of our listeners gave us!

We discovered our new counter works well as a buffet. We had this installed for projects when we sort books {like our big book giveaways} or when we have to spread out articles for organizing {anytime Lynne does a health-related show, she has tons of articles}...and it also serves as Dana's home during Mid-Morning. She answers our phones for us!

Under each end of the counter are our filing cabinets!

People dropped by, stayed for a while, ate snacks and talked. We loved that! Jeri even brought us presents! Pretty file folders and notepads:

And Scott...well, he was still in photo booth mode from Daddy/Daughter Date Night:

This office has been such a blessing for Lynne, who for years had THE smallest desk known to mankind. Here's her side of our shared space now - complete with her huge window and tons of desk:

Those bookshelves serve as the divider between us.

Here is my side:

Yes, my clock and memo board do live on the floor.

Here is a close up of some of the things that make it home:

 The flip calendar Ryan gave me for Christmas...and some M and M's....

 The Keurig {morning coffee on the left, afternoon coffee on the right} and our wedding picture...and a candle which I forgot to light.

And my pictures...the first framed photo Ryan ever gave me, the picture my Financial Aid co-workers signed and gave me, the canvas picture I love so much, and a picture from our honeymoon. :)

Thanks for visiting our office! Hope you enjoyed it!

{If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.}
