Birthdays, Engagements, Christmas & Weddings

Today couldn't be a better day! Last night I hosted a formal dinner party for 10!! My first ever real formal dinner party where I cooked all the food (aka not a pot luck style meal) it went off with a couple minor hitches... such as cutting my finger and bleeding all over the kitchen, and a few spilt drinks and broken glasses! hahaha Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the good food and company! Here are a few shots from the night...

Last night was also a particularly good night for one of my best friends Carly! Her boyfriend proposed!! He organized a romantic dinner for 2 at the Calgary Tower's Revolving Restaurant with no one else to be seen in the restaurant!
 

I am so excited for her, not only because she totally deserves it and her man treats her amazingly but also because I get to help plan her wedding!!! She will be enlisting the services of Old, New, Borrowed & Blue Wedding and Event Planning for their upcoming September 2011 wedding! YAY! Congrats you two! xo
Congrats to the future Mr. & Mrs. Phenix!!

So it's been a while since I've posted anything... the last you heard from me I was off to Vancouver. It was rocky start but we did finally make it to Vancouver on Saturday. There was some freak fog that wasn't allowing us to fly out... but we did make it there and had a blast with hubby's university hockey buddies! We celebrated his birthday by touring UBC campus followed by an amazing seafood dinner on Granville Island at the Sandbar...
This picture kind of makes it look like a hole in the wall but it was amazing food and beautiful on the inside!

Since its already Thursday I will give you my play by play for the rest of the week/weekend and maybe next week too...

Today: no real plans, try to get to the gym at noon because I have been SLACKING and definitely have put on a few lbs! I was shocked to see a love handle staring me in the face the other day! lol

Friday: no big plans!

 
Saturday: lunch with my friend Leah who I have not seen in FOREVER! Babysitting our neice Jordyn and taking her to the new Disney flick Tangled in 3D with my gf Karlene and her daughter Brielle!

No real plans for the evening... maybe having B & J over for a double date... that sounds like.. hahaha nevermind.

Sunday: Grey Cup!!! Go Riders Go!!! Watching the game at one of hubby's cop friends and celebrating his wives 28th birthday!!

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday no plans... my birthday is Thursday I guess! But no real plans for the day of!

Saturday: birthday lunch with my family and then birthday dinner and drinks with friends!! :) Thanks to bff Kel for organizing that or I probably wouldn't have done a thing! lol

  1. You look hawt in the Kitchen, no wonder Jon likes when you cook so much. That and look at those appys haha Maybe J and I should hire you for our next date night. ACTUALLY one night we should cook a supper together for the two the them and try something REALLY fancy. We might need a RN or paramedic on hand though.. I'm bad with knives too..
