Murray's Work Party

Does this look like a face of surprise or what?

Murray's co-workers threw him a huge surprise party at his favorite restaurant in Healdsburg, Ravenous. It's quite a long story, but Murray is changing positions within his company at NCPA (we'll just say it's not on his terms and was not done in any kind of a professional and/or ethical way). All the guys (and a few ladies) up at the plant put together a beautiful send-off party for Murray. It was evident in their words, emotions, and memories that they are all really sad to see Murray go. He will now be working in city of Healdsburg (that's a plus!) doing research in his field. I do not know more, as even Murray is still putting together a job description. Looking on the bright side and seeing this change as a huge blessing...he can now walk to work, go to the gym in the morning with my mom, meet friends, etc. for lunch, and create a very flexible work schedule for himself!!!

Below are more pictures from his fun night! He was beyond surprised and truly overjoyed!

They gave Murray a bottle of wine from Trentedue! That's not all though...they know how much he loves his Alma Mater UCLA, so they engraved the back side with UCLA's logo-

it is really neat...a keepsake.

Back at the house after Ravenous...they presented him with meaningful gifts, funny stories, awards, and they each shared how much working with Murray meant to them.

I love you Murph and I hope this new job opens up the doors of opportunity and a less stressful work environment in which you can begin to think about retirement!
