Going Away :(

Well the other night I had my going away party!

It was a mixture of emotions for sure, it was great to have all (well most) of my friends in one place to be able to chat with them all and generally have a great time. But there were definatley some tears, although I did better than I thought and only let them out twice. Both times I was overwhelmed with the kindness of my friends and their kind words of encouragement for my new adventure.

I was also blessed with an amazing going away gift from my co-workers, they are far to generous, and a very useful gift from a great friend.


My beautiful friend Caity was for sure the hostess with the most-ess, and a huge thank you to her and her parents for having my party at their fabulous home.



Here are some pics to check out some of the action from the night. Thanks to all who were able to make it out and those of you who couldn't you were dearly missed!

"You're my best friend"

Well I just returned from the best surprise yet...

Upon finding out that my best friend was unable to travel do to being put on bedrest (she's 7 months pregnant, and looking fabulous by the way) I hopped on a plane to Edmonton and then a bus ride to her town of Cold Lake Alberta. The look of surprise on her face was priceless when i walked into her kitchen.

We had a great visit and an always tearful goodbye. It was great to spend some well needed bestie time before I head off on my UK adventure. I wish she could come down for my farewell shindig but alas we've said our goodbyes, and I look forward to seeing less of her with her new little guy/gal the next time I see her.

Love you to bits bestie!
