Two years ago Lylene excitedly told me about this new thing she heard about - a blog. She had signed up for one, but wasn’t too sure what to do with it. It was my first day of work at the Johnson Team and I told her that I had a personal blog and was familiar with them.

That sealed the deal. The blog was passed on to me and for the past two years, I have written, designed, tweaked, read and linked away. The result - The Bellingham Blog. Over 800 posts on a variety of topics in Bellingham from real estate to the weather.

Two months ago I was accepted to the nursing program at the University of BC, so today is my last day at the Johnson Team. I’ve had several “last days” of jobs before, but this one is different. In the past I was always SO excited to be done with the job and getting out of there. Although I’m excited about the opportunities that I’m moving on to, I am truly sad about leaving the Johnson Team. I’ve had the pleasure of working with such an amazing group of people over the past 2 years and that is hard to that give up. I’ve learned a lot, laughed a lot and been supported a lot in my time here.

So to our faithful readers (I know that you are out there!) thank you for reading this blog as it evolved. I’m sure that as Fawn takes it over it is only going to get better. And watch for Lylene’s posts - she usually writes when she is really fired up about something which means that you get a very interesting article.

And to the Johnson Team - Fawn, Lylene, Rich, Mike and Graham - thank you for everything over the past two years. It has truly been a pleasure!
