Blessed to have great friends...

So tonight Brandon and I had a real treat. We were able to go out with some great friends for a delicious dinner. My friend Kerry's boyfriend Stewart is visiting from Australia... I know cool! Anyway we were able to get together last week for Kerry's birthday but Brandon wasn't able to make it, so tonight he was able to come and meet Stewart and visit with everyone. It was really nice. We went to NICHE down town for dinner and it was delicious. We had a delicious meal, with great friends and wonderful conversation. We were almost there for three hours but the time flew by and it was a wonderful night. Thanks Ker for getting us all together for a fun night.

Mr. & Mrs. Lantz, enjoying their three dip appetizer which made Brandon jealous!! They are going to be parents in June and I'm excited to be an honorary auntie again!!

Kerry and Stewart! They're a lot of fun together and Stewart has the BEST accent ever, he always sounds so proper when he says certain words. He's a really great guy who gets along with our little group which is always an added bonus. So glad we finally got to meet him!!

The Bing's... so sad the necklace I am wearing which is one of my fav's broke tonight it caught on the table and broke in a place that is not fixable although you know I'm going to try... crazy glue maybe? Anyway it was a great night out together, I love spending time with my hunny and my wonderful friends! Thanks Bran for a nice date night out!!

Our whole little gang once Nat joined us! Such a fun fun night!! LOVED Niche!!

Nat celebrating her new job!! So excited for her and glad she shared her news in person!!

The boys... Brandon, Mark and Stewart... three great guys!

The lovely ladies that are some of my best friends!! We've been friends since elementary and I am blessed to have them all in my life. Wish Nicole and Denise could have been there to have a fun night out with us!!

My dinner was fantastic tonight, I would go back to Niche tomorrow!

Brandon and I both had steak which was delicious, seasoned and cooked just right. I had garlic mashed potatoes and veggies with mine which were super yummy! Dessert was cheesecake with a fudge crust and carmel sauce on the top. Oh and our appetizer was spring rolls which were nice and light, and equally delicious!!

Thought I'd quickly share about a fun night out, off to watch some big band theory with Bran before getting some much needed sleep... back to sixth grade tomorrow... woohoo for Thursday!! I am enjoying teaching every day this week, it's nice to put my new degree to work. I am thankful to be regularly subbing and especially at the school I am at. It's a school with more behaviour problems then others but the students are awesome and the work makes you feel awesome. You know you are making a difference and you know the kids appreciate you even though they may not always show it. I Love being a teacher!!
