Happy St Paddy's!

St Patricks day is almost upon us... not like it's a big celebration or anything..! But hey, cus I have Irish blood, I'm going to celebrate!! So I'm doing a little brunch for some friends on Saturday... Tomorrow is a holiday - yay! No school!! I don't think it's a national holiday, just a Dalat one! But we all need it... this week our school went through an inspection to get accredited... So a lot of prep ect was involved! They were very impressed with our school, and
had more commendations than recommendations, so we're all good!

In case some of you are thinking spring isn't coming, here's an encouraging pic that soon you'll also be able to enjoy the warm sunshine! Here, we're at one of my friend's place. (They have a gorgeous pool in their apartment complex!)

Time for giving up...

It's the season of lent, and for the first time, I am actually making a conscious decision to give up something for lent. I decided to give up coke lite (diet coke) 15 days ago. And it's killing me! I didn't realize how addicted I actually was! But it's so awesome, because everytime I crave it, I make a conscious decision to pray and reflect on what Christ did for us - He gave up his only son!! (A little more of a sacrifice than coke lite I would say!) So, despite the headaches and the bland (but good) water I'm drinking, I know it's good... I have an accountablilty partner for it too - Steve (a friend/collegue at school) has also given it up - which is great - someone I can share my moans and groans with!

More food..

This post is dedicated to my dear friends Caron and Geoff... Another picture of me eating!! We went to TGI Fridays for Wendi's birthday. Mmmmm... good western food at a good western restaurant!
