Staff Retreat, headbands & getting lost.

We all went away on our work staff retreat Tuesday to Friday. It was so much fun, a great time to build relationships and meet new people. We went to a conference centre in Guelph which is about an hour south of Toronto. We had to bring a couple of crazy customs with us for a quiz and one of the meals which was entertaining. There was a speaker from New York talking about emotionally healthy spirituality and time to hear more about what is on the cards for Muskoka Woods in the next wee a while. Not to mention time to hang out, play games and some competitions!

Work itself is still going very well; I’m looking forward to getting stuck in when I get back in the New Year. Muskoka Woods is an amzing place to work very relaxed and friendly. Not to mention having a great vision and mission. I have also found somewhere to live. It’s in the beaches in Toronto, 20 minutes from work. A newly converted, Ikea furnished basement and will be ready for me to move into when I fly back after Christmas. The best part was I didn’t even have to look for a place the owner approached me about it. I will have my own space but there is also an amazing family upstairs that will be there if I need anything or to spend time with. Best of both worlds I feel. I should also have my car soon so it’s all coming together very well. God is good.

Here’s to searching for the mighty craic, Rosie’s 12.15am birthday celebrations, winning a basket full of games, Mike pranking Jogn with Blackberry's, Tina trading and getting a tin of spam, late night laughs and chat times with Lisa, Catherine and Leslie, Josh and Rebecca dressing up as Wolverine and Jane, going bowling, making Christmas hampers, to “this is the table of hate!”, crazy air hockey matches, the story of the lips, playing headbands for hours, playing extreme guess who, Matt getting very frustrated playing headbands, John making us go outside with no coats on, to Lisa getting us lost on the way to Ikea, dinner at my bosses house, watching a high school basketball game, seeing Alice, AC, Claire and Arlene on Wednesday, Going to Romania in May and to coming home very soon.
