House Warming Success!!

WOW, I haven't written in a whole week! I guess I was so busy with the transition to full time hours at work, getting prepared for my BC guests to arrive, and getting everything together for the house warming that I didn't even think to write a blog!! But, all of that hard work really paid off, everything went to plan, and everyone had a lot of fun!

On Thursday June 3rd, we picked up my best friend Lindsay (we've known each other since high school) and her boyfriend Brydon at the airport! They flew out all the way from Vancouver just to see us and hang out for the housewarming! How nice! Then, we took them out for dinner to Jungle Jim's at West Edmonton Mall, and gave them a quick tour of the mall, and some of its attractions.

After the mall, we headed back to the airport to pick up Lindsay's sister Teri who also flew out from Vancouver to spend the weekend with us. When we got home, I introduced them to the Raving Rabbids game on the Wii, and we had a lot of fun just hanging out and reminiscing!

On Friday the 4th, we took everyone out to the farm to do some off road go-karting! We bought these go-karts last year, and they are so much fun! They can really go if you want them to! Our guests enjoyed spending time on the farm, getting lots of fresh air, and going for a nice country drive. Then we went to Drayton Valley afterwards for dinner, and last minute grocery shopping before the party Saturday.

Saturday the 5th was our housewarming! Here are some pics:

The spread! Lindsay, Teri and myself worked hard and made lots of food!

Lots of people showed up and stayed all night.

We ended up having a fire out back later on, and lots of our guests stayed late, and even stayed over for the night. We had a lot of fun, and were very thankful for everyone driving all the way out to visit. The food, weather, and company were all fantastic! So thanks all to came out to help us warm our house!
