My Roots Family!!

So this is a little post about one of my other families that I belong to and that is my Roots Family! I have been working for Roots for just over six years, can you even believe that. I started as a full time key holder and moved my way up to assistant manager... come September I will take on a new role of possibly just part time sales person as I head back to school. It's going to be a big adjustment for me. We have a lot of fun at my store....380 Spring Garden is the best store ever...we are one big family that always is just laughing and having fun. I have made so many great friends there that I know will be my friends forever no matter where they go or what oceans they cross.

Tonight we had a fun get together with just a few of our Roots family members because there are a few moving away from us and we are all really bummed about that! We met up at the Fireside Restaurant for dinner tonight and had a great time hanging out, eating and snapping some photos. They had delicious fries there I so wish I'd gotten a meal with fries... but my meal was still so yummy and dessert was delicious!! Any time we get to hangout there are always some great pictures hope you enjoy them all!!

Ben and Terri Smith... Terri was our manager for almost five years. Her and I were a GREAT team and we'll miss her lots as she moves to Kingston Ontario. Ben her husband just finished up school and passed his big tests, so we were all so excited and happy for Ben. Terri is one of the sweetest people I know, she lives near me but mailed my birthday gift to me because she knows I like getting mail!! They enjoyed their Nachos tonight!!
This is Jeff and I with our delicious dessert...we were the only two that got dessert but we deserved it after our busy day at work...Jeff especially had a busy day running all around trying to finish preparing to head to England...but the super star that he is got it all accomplished in one hour!! Go Jeff!!! Oh and this picture is for Kathy she needs to frame is since Jeff and I are two of Kathy's favorite people!!
This is Dina and Maria... Maria and I call Dina our mutual friend...Dina is also friends with Melissa, so we have another mutual friend...so it's super fun when we get to chat and figure out who our friends are we were both excited to find out that Melissa and Nate were having a baby boy!!!!!
This is Jeff and his fish face as he prepares to each his fish and chips...he'll be eating a lot of this meal when he moves to London England this month. I'm so excited for Jeff but he'll be missed big time. Jeff and I have I think a lot in common we can always kill a morning talking about our shows...we have a lot of great chats and loads of good laughs...so Jeff you'll be missed big time...you are one of my favorite friends, and we'll keep in touch somehow...you'll be my coronation street connection in the UK and you better do the tour and take pictures!!
This is our awesome Roots family...were a great team and we always will be no matter where we all end up!! L-R Me, Farah, Jeff, Melanie, Terri and Maria.
