Ballet and Birthdays

This weekend, my parents and Emma came to Mississauga early Saturday morning. My mom, Emma and I got ready and then headed over to the GO train which we took to Union Station in Toronto. We were going to see The Sleeping Beauty Ballet at the National Ballet of Canada. We met up with four of my university friends there too, which was fun. The ballet was absolutely beautiful, and I'm so glad we went. All of the dancers did such an amazing performance!

When we got back to Mississauga, we met up with my dad (who had been speaker shopping while waiting for us) and went out for a buffet dinner to celebrate his birthday! The rest of the night was spent hanging out and sharing our pictures from our family vacation in February.

On Sunday we went to the Meeting House which was really fun, especially since my parents had never been to the Oakville site before. We went for a quick shop after that and then my parents left for home. Emma stayed for a bit longer and accompanied my friends and I to view a potential rental house for fourth year. It is a really nice place and I hope everything works out! It was a very short visit, but definitely very fun!

Now, I will spend the rest of the night prepping and resting up for my interview tomorrow morning! I'm looking forward to getting to know a little more about the position.

Birthday

This past weekend, I went to my friend Chelsey's house to celebrate her 21st birthday. The theme was "candyland," which meant that there were vibrant colours everywhere and delicious food to try. Chelsey made candy-flavoured alcoholic beverages, and so many fun candy dishes. My personal favourite was the candy sushi, made out of rice krispie treats, fruit roll ups and other yummy gummies. It doesn't sound like the greatest pairing, but it was so delicious! I'm so glad to have such great friends in my life to celebrate things with :)

Weekend

This weekend was another good one! Not as exciting as being in the Dominican, but it was definitely fun.

I usually bake dinners on the weekend that I can freeze for the week, but when people visit me, I like to make extra special things. Paul drove up on Friday and we made spinach lasagna rolls for dinner, complete with homemade mozzarella sticks. We and my friends went to a birthday party that night which was close by, and it was so much fun!

On Saturday, we went to the mall so I could pick up a couple of things, and then to Toronto for dinner with some friends (the girls I will be living with next year, actually—so excited!). When we got home, Paul and I made a delicious blueberry lemon loaf and played video games.

We discovered and amazing thai food restaurant when we went out for lunch on Sunday. We tried the thai iced tea, which is red iced tea sweetened with cream. It was a perfect offset to the spicy food they had. After that, we attempted to go on a photo adventure, but it was freezing and we weren't prepared for the cold weather.
