Laura and Michelle planned a wonderful shower for me from my work teammates and friends.  The food was great and the gifts were wonderful.  I won't have room to put all the pictures here, but I will put some. :)

This is Russell Smith and I.  Russell works in Desktop Services and has been a God sent to me since I started working at SBC/Pacific Bell in the call center.  Without knowing it, he was there for me and gave me the courage to go on during a very difficult time in my life.  He was one of the first people I searched for when I found out I was pregnant, although I didn't get to tell him until I was about 5 months along.  I was thrilled he was able to arrange his lunch to come and join us at the party.  Thank you Russell, you are a true and dear friend.






















This is Kathleen Downs, Chris Tiberia, Peggy Stolzoff, and Alex (Peggy'sson).  They are a fun group, the whole team is.  Great lasagna Chris. ;-)
























This is Sandy Aguilar and Russell.  Sandy just joined our team from the MR ROCC in San Diego.  We're all looking forward to her being on the schedule. :D  Sandy, you are going to do great, don't worry!
















This is Laura Vest, the hostess of the party.  Laura is such a cool friend isn't she?  I really didn't expect a party and she did such a fantastic job.

















This is Ibbie Jennings.  She is expecting to have a baby in April.  I'm so excited for her.  I can't wait until she has her little one. :) (And for the record, she is not finding out if hers is a boy or girl either.)























This is Ibbie, George Balsano, and Mayela Heacock.  George is still new to the team and joined us from Desktop Services where he worked with Russell.  He is also moving to San Fransisco soon, but will still be on the team.  Ibbie and Mayela are the closest of friends.






















This is Debbie Willits.  She was on the team for a few years, then left at the beginning of 2000 to go to Project Management and then came back to us as a Team Lead in February of 2001.  She's a hoot.























This is Catherine Palmer.  She is the M&P person on our team.  I think we are all looking forward to her upgrades and changes.
























This is my buddy and teammate Sharon Smith.  She is so much fun.  Oh, and if you ever want to get on her good side? Give her Twilight Zone stuff. She's a true fan. :)

















So, there we all are.  Well, the ones that were able to make it to theshower.  The others were either oncall, on vacation, or live out of state and were unable to make it.

Laura, thank you for a most lovely shower.  It was GREAT!!!!!!!
