December 08
December was the month that was very busy for the whole family. Last year I had sent out a Newsletter in the place of Christmas (Seasons Greetings) Cards. This year was so busy the Newsletter didn't even go out as we didn't have time to do much. It was during this month that we announced our leaving California for New Jersey. I started my new job December 15th, which meant I didn't have much time to say my Goodbyes to everyone. During the first couple of weeks I was able to meet with several friends and colleagues who mean a great deal to me. For the other friends I wanted to meet up with but I was unable to, I am truly sorry. I was planning on meeting up with the rest when I returned from New Jersey for the Christmas Holiday but, as Murphy's Law goes, unexpected more pressing things that effected our move came up. One thing was a gas leak at our home in California which we were able to get taken care of at the last minute during the holidays. What a relief that was.
Here are some pictures of brunch with Brooke, Jennifer, Lori, and Chase. 
Although, not a drinker, we had to toast to Lee for her birthday. Lee wasn't able to join us as she, too, had a really big move...all the way to England. I was able to meet up with my old Allergan friends/colleagues too. I shall be putting up those pictures later. It was my first time meeting Bayda's beautiful baby girl.

We had to coordinate Greg flying out for an interview before my leaving for my first day at work. My sister, who was a great help through our troublesome month, offered to watch the boys should things not work out for us. Lucky for her Greg was back a day before I left. I started my new job and left Greg with the kids. I have to say he did a great job trying to deal with everything. Greg, while taking care of 2 young boys, was also trying to make sure all the right stuff got packed up, the carpet got replaced etc. He had a lot to do and did a great job I might add. My sister was also extremely helpful and we couldn't have done a lot without her help. Murphy's Law...the packers packed stuff that was meant to stay and left stuff that was supposed to go, but all things considered I am surprised as how smoothly it went.
