I (Beth) have spent the last few weeks (and weekends!) in town: it's been nice to have some relaxing "down time", and to spend some time around the house.
Saturday March 3rd was our annual Providence "Dine and Deals" Gala Fundraiser: I volunteered to oversee the Silent Auction, so got to mix and mingle with colleagues, parents, and a few of the rich (but not so famous) in this city. It was a nice night out, and a great way to feel a part of my work "family".
I was also lucky enough to catch up with a great friend, Effie Gatsinos on her return trip to Calgary--sharing our great experiences at Guelph with some prospective students, and then catching up over some great food and drinks. She is such a wonderful person, and always a delight to spend time with!
This past weekend, my good friend Skye Gorven was in town for a visit. We spent a fun "girls weekend" visiting the shops on 17th Ave, looking for ideas for bridesmaids dresses for her upcoming wedding. After a night out with the boys on Saturday, we drove up to Banff on Sunday in hopes of a short hike in the mountains, only to leave the 17c sunny weather in Calgary and arrive to cool and rainy in Banff. We still enjoyed a day at the spa at the Rimrock Hotel up by Banff Springs, and were lucky enough to have Dave making great meals for us all weekend. It was great to see Skye, and to have her share in this amazing place we now call home. We're looking forward to seeing more of her home in Vancouver for her August 31st wedding.
We have a few more low key weeks planned, before I'm off to Ontario on March 31st, and Dave heads to Moab, Utah for a mountain biking trip.
