a guy on my team spearheaded an effort and raised over $600 for me to go buy the road bike I have been dreaming of! My current team, my old team, supervisors I work with now and in my old building and my personal trainer all contributed. I have not stopped grinning. My team came to the staff meeting of supervisors and told me they had heard I was "socking away" for a special purchase, and they "found my sock".... and it was a tube sock with a huge roll of cash. They said it speaks volumes of my "leadership" that so many people jumped at the chance to contribute. My heart is still racing, hands shaking and I am grinning like a mule eating thistle.... and they gave me the gift over an hour ago. Just speechless.

Guess what I am doing this weekend??!?!?!?!?

thanks!!! The card they gave me says "it's never been a question of "if". it's always been a matter of "when." and now is your time....

and they all signed it.

still shaking, still speechless
