My Weekend (pics included)

[alex]

So I know how much everyone here loves random pics, so I thought I'd post a few from my weekend! I organized a birthday/engagement party for a very great friend of mine who actually got engaged the night before her birthday! So I thought it was fitting to combine them together. They've actually decided to get married ibn Jamaica in January & have asked me a be a bridesmaid! Unfortunately I can't commit 100% right now (finances), but I wanted to do something for them, especially her! I'm pretty broke because I'm unemployed so I decorated on a HUGE budget! I bought almost everything at the dollar store, but it was fun & laid back so it didn't matter! I had inflatable palm trees, flamingoes, monkeys, parrots, leis, colourful tablecloths & napkins.. it was colourful & inexpensive! No good pictures of the decorating though...

 

The cupcakes I made. The jujubes I used for the "rings" on the Congrats ones kinda slipped, but they looked super cool at first!

 

Me & the girls (including Lily the puppy! lol) I'm on the far left & the birthday girl is beside me.

 

Me ruining a perfectly good picture by being a perv... hehehe

 

The happy couple! Everyone actually wore the leis I bought so I was pretty excited!

 

Me & Mat. Unfortunately for an attrative guy he takes the worst pictures!!

 

Not a very good pic, but we had a campfire after we all ate & swam. It was an awesome time!

 

 

The day after the party we went out to Mats parents cottage to help with some work & went fishing too. I had to post these pics of Chloe (Mat's parents dog) in the boat. She's too funny - she barked non-stop at me when I tried to get into the boat. She acted like she owned it. What a silly girl!

 

Her, a few minutes before she got too close to the edge & fell in the lake. She swam laps around the boat until Mat would pull her in. Dummy.
