In the Registrar's Office, we love to celebrate birthdays.
We buy balloons, decorate desks, and make all kinds of fun dishes for the person we're celebrating. Since I came to our office last November, this was my first birthday in our office, and I was over the top excited for it to come. Little did I know, the fabulous people I work with would go above and beyond, to help me celebrate. I seriously cannot thank them enough!
On Thursday morning, I walked in the door (running a little bit late to work that day,) and was greeted by colored puff balls and pipe cleaner arrows guiding the way to my desk! If that wasn't enough, streamers and tinsel in pink and gold (my two favorite colors) were hanging from the ceiling, wall, and lining the front of my desk!

This had Melody written all over it!
I wish my desk could be this festive all year long.!
My supervisor was out of the office on the day we celebrated, but had flowers delivered to me for the occasion. I love flowers, so these were the perfect surprise!
While my co-workers were busy getting the birthday refreshments ready to go, I sat in awe of my desk. They made me feel so special. When it was time to eat, I walked next door and was immediately greeted by a beautiful banner hanging on the wall, also in my two favorite colors. It was so pretty, I couldn't believe that one of my co-workers made it herself! Thanks, Frances!
We always have refreshments, but my goodness what a spread! We enjoyed homemade biscuits, chocolate chip pound cake, (Yum!) breakfast casserole, pink rice crispies treats, marshmallow brownies and chips and dip. I was about to pop by the time we were finished!
This group left no detail undone! The cups we used were cute little mason jars with pink bows and yellow straws.
Seeing everything my co-workers had done for me on my special day made me appreciate them even more. I am so lucky to work in such a caring office.The celebrating didn't stop at breakfast! At 11:30, we headed off to our reservation at Vidalia, one of my favorite restaurants in Boone.
I am obsessed with their chicken and waffles, so I had to have it for my birthday!
Needless to say, that afternoon, I could hardly move from being so full. Thank you to everyone in my office that helped me celebrate my birthday. I am so appreciative for each and every one of you.
Love what you're reading?
