Interior Designer... finally!

Okay, this will be my last post of the day. First I've got to share some awesome news (well, awesome for me, I'm sure Leah and Nicole would argue otherwise!) I was offered a job in the haworth Design Studio as an Interior Designer yesterday, and I accepted the offer. I will be starting my new job towards the end of the month. This is both extremely exciting for me- another step on the path of my career, and some what sad. I will no longer be working with my amazing team, and I will most definately miss them. But at least I'm not going far.... just downstairs. This is an awesome new opportunity that I am so grateful to God for. So, I'll be sure to keep you posted on how it goes!

Eagles Alumni

It was that time of year again... the Eagles Alumni basketball tournament. Truthfully I usually dread participating in this event back home over the holidays. But seeing as I've been playing basketball at work on my lunch hours, I was very excited to play this year. It ended up being a lot of fun, and I love running into random people that I haven't seen in, well... a year. Seems as though I officially an "old lady" as I was placed in the oldest category. That's gotta make a girl feel good! It got pretty crazy watching the men play though, they were having injuries left and right. I'm wondering if our hacking skills have worn off on them after watching us all these years??

New Years at Wall Lake

This year my friends and I (although I played a very, very little part in the actual planning) decided that we were not going to have another regular, anti-climatic New Years celebration. Winter camping won over the cabin with a hot tub idea, which I'm happy to say was a great thing. Eric, Marc, Tara, Logan (Tara's brother) and I drove down to Waterton on New Years eve day. Despite the late start (thanks to Mrs. Bomhof for getting Marc out of bed!!) we had a full day of snowshoeing ahead of us. We all loaded up our gear for the night and headed to Wall lake. It turned out to be the perfect day, sun shining and the snow looked beautiful around us. I'm telling you though, this is no easy task trudging through mountains of snow, but rewarding? Definitely. We were secluded from everything... no business, no noise. Just us, in God's amazing creation. And the quince turned out beautifully, everyone worked so well together. (except for the occasional opportunity I stole to take some pictures, I guess I didn't pull my weight as much then!) The guys built a fire and loads of very delicious food was cooked. I would have to say the only downfall of the trip was worrying whether or not Eric was going to get hypothermia that night. I'm sure he would be able to explain his tragic night in much more colourful words, but he survived. He, along with his sleeping bag, were soaking wet the next morning. After destroying what creations we had made with the snow, we headed back down the trail. We ended the day making pie irons back at the car, yum. But, this was seriously one amazing trip. Short and definitely sweet. I know it's late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

My Christmas

Taking a walk around Henderson Lake.

THE overpriced appetizer

The girls at 360.

Rolling croquettes at home (although, none of us look overly happy here)

Steve and James attempting to match Isabelles skills.

I love that Josh is just in awe of Isabelle here.

Possibly the best socks ever.

Bomhof/ Los Christmas.... need I say more?

Steph apparently likes my curtains.. and the toque I got her.

Haworth Christmas party... the freaky men on stilts.

So, there you have it. Sort of a flip book of pictures of my Christmas. Why is that after being back into a regular routine, the holidays and fun times seem so far off already? This Christmas was awesome!!
