Friendship

My co-worker and really good friend Michelle has her last day of work at MGIC today.  I screamed with joy when she told me she was leaving.  I am also secretly depressed about it.  As some may know my job hasn't been the funnest one.  When I first started in my current role a little over 2 1/2 years ago I sat next to Michelle.  A couple months later she was going to Colorado and I wanted to go too so I just booked my flight! We spent some time with a friend of mine and a mutual friend of ours, exploring and just being in the mountains.  While I think of myself as being able to make friends easily I thank Michelle for being a person easy to be friends with.  I thank her for always lending an ear and listening to the good and bad.  I thank her for letting me 'crash' her Colorado trip.  I thank her for the support and professional advice she always has to offer.  I thank her for being a trusted and smart co-worker.  Overall I thank her for the friendship and in the midst of the 'craziness' I thank her for making me laugh.

Congratulations Michelle!  I know we'll remain friends for a long time!  This quote reminds me of you:

“If you have good friends, no matter how much life is sucking , they can make you laugh.”
