HERE WE GO!

The cake that sent me off. Believe it or not, all the flags were made from Airheads candy that was hand rolled and cut! Thank you, Suyin - you rock!!!!!!!

The last several months have been a blur. Between ending the school year, packing up and renting my home, packing up my classroom, finding and working with my replacement for next school year (Hi, Miss Seip!), selling my car, selling every non-essential item I own (thank you, Ebay) and prepping and packing my motorcycle, I feel like I've been in a state of constant adrenalin rush.

Fortunately, my friends Evan and Suzan were committed to the idea of alleviating some of my stress and sending me off in style, and as only the Milmans can, they orchestrated a shindig that became a greatest hits of the people in my life - family and friends that have in so many ways shaped the person that I am now. Interestingly enough, many of these people, having come from completely different locations and stages in my life, have never met, and it was amazing to see everyone interact. Laughter was the common language for the day, and several times I was approached with the comment "Your friends are great!" Indeed, indeed...
