Surprise Roses




^ Chris looks so sleepy: he woke up 4 hours earlier than needed to pull off this surprise ^
PS - the girl at the desk was giggling just as hard as us, hence the blurry shot

Being at a new job, I really didn't think many people would know that it was my birthday nor did I expect any surprises.  Well the day before my birthday, Chris surprised me with roses and I can't believe I fell for his little story: he said someone dropped off a package for me at the front desk, and I went up there looking for it only to see him walk in with a massive vase of ROSES!  The girl at the front desk was our audience and she laughed with us at how I fell for it.  Then, after taking my actual birthday off, I came back to beautiful pink decorations all over my desk space.  Two of the Loan Originators put it together the day that I was off.

All in all, I kept the roses and decorations at my desk for the rest of the week - since my desk screamed "happy birthday" I received birthday wishes from co-workers I still hadn't even met, and have gotta admit that it felt pretty nice.  It became an ice breaker for more conversation and I became a little more comfortable with a huge handful of people I didn't initially know, then started to feel a little more like I was settling into this professional world that so different from dancing & entertainment.
