Birthday Pictures

So here we are. Just a couple of pictures from my 30th birthday. On such a milestone, it was worth doing something special... i dont think i ever imagined it would involve a moose dressed as a mountie though... still 9 out of 10 from "them pair" made it a journey well spent..

Me and my 'A1". No laughing at my headgear. Nicole was responsible for it! The poor girl had to spend a month working with me on only her 2nd audit, she had to put up with me sleeping in her car, me speaking in riddles (well, English, but to her it felt like riddles - although she now knows that white coffee is coffee with milk, heaving is busy and peckish is hungry). She also had to pick lunch every day for a month. I am flattered that, by the end of it, she is still talking to me! Thanks Nicole! I'm going to miss you.

My other key partner in crime, TK. We spent more than 2 months working together. Personally, i dont know which of us will be more scarred from the experience, but psychologists both in Woodbridge and Peterborough will be making money as a result of our friendship I am sure..

Bit more self flattery. Me with as many women as I could find. All of them pretending to smile. See how polite they are in Canada? Thank you girls!

Katie painted me a picture.. you can see from the photo just how good it is.. for all the gifts guys, the Inukshuk (thanks Amy) and the ipod, thank you so much.

Me, and two of my best friends. Only these two know how much stress I have caused them over the past few months. Regardless of where my life takes me, i hope that Kim and Suzanne remain as important to me as they have been while I was here. Between you two, you have been the most generous people i met, and given me the life i have developed. And i know how much you two put into my birthday..

And a bit more ego massage. This was quite late in the day, but ended the day as i would have wished. Home, warm, smiling, with friends. It was a fantastic birthday, and thank you all for sharing it and making it so.
