What a whirlwind week and weekend! It was probably one of the more eventful weeks of my life with
graduation festivities and I can't believe everything is over!
On Saturday night I went to a Gala dinner with my friend Michelle. I just lucked into a ticket because another classmate couldn't make it so she called me. Wahoo! It's a bonus when your good friend is on a few committees in school and can grab you a $125 ticket for $0.
This event has been in the planning for 4 years because the school is a century old and it served as a huge reunion for a lot of people (700-800). I got to see my childhood Dentist and one of my former bosses. I got a big hug and a kiss on the cheek from my old boss. Job? Hire me? Tomorrow I am passing out 50 resumes!

I forgot to take a photo of the spring rolls and slaw, but you can take my word
that they were very tasty! |

Pretty snazzy, right? We had fun! I'm not gonna lie, two times a week of fancy dinners suits me just fine. Except next time, can I just wear yoga pants??
On Sunday we went to Church and then came home and made a quick lunch of leftovers and then left for a hike along the ocean.

| I love this rock face |
 |
| this is another really deep crevice. It doesn't look deep in the pic, but it is ridiculously deep, I just put my camera over the edge of it and snapped. |

I was counting the hike as my excercise for the day, but it quickly got cancelled out by this:
 |
| on the way home we all stopped for some famous fish'n'chips. Kenny and I split this dish. You really can't beat locally caught halibut fish. I'd rather a little less batter, but I'm not gonna lie, it was delicious! |
On the way home we also stopped in to see these little cute monkeys. They are seriously cute little nephews!
 |
| A is charming us while he eats. |
 |
| can you spot 2 little 2 year olds? |
And that wraps up my weekend! It was a pretty good one!
Questions:
What did you do this weekend?
Do you live by the ocean?
Did anyone have a foodie weekend?
Congratulations! And good luck on the job hunt. I haaaaated doing that after post secondary - I hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteThe menu at that gala dinner looks phenomenal. Especially the angel food cake. I'm a little jealous :)
Thank you! It really is the worst part, eh? I passed out almost 50 resumes today!! A lot of people aren't hiring, but I have faith something will come up.
DeleteAll the food from that dinner looks incredible! Yummm.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty place to hike, I'd love to have somewhere nearby to go to like that. Hiking is one of my favorite things to do but its something I always have to really plan out. Pretty photos!
The food was so good! After all that food my dresses started to get a little snug:/
DeleteWe are pretty lucky to live right by the ocean and have access to it. I never really get tired of it!
