Finished?

Please pinch me.  It feels so surreal that I am finally done my undergrad degree, but I know at the same time I shouldn't be too surprised since most people in my year are already done.  It just feels weird that I won't be returning to school in September.


The feeling of excitement for Europe is slowly creeping up!  We have our main plane tickets to London and our accommodations there booked and last night we just booked plane tickets to Madrid and accommodations there as well.  I like how every little part of our trip is slowly coming together and I'm super excited to actually go!  Also, I forgot to mention that we will be in London during their Taste of London event!  It's like Taste of Edmonton here, but obviously on a much bigger and better scale!  All of the top chefs in London seem to have booths there and it runs from June 17 to 20th and we are there from June 16 to 19th.  What are the chances?  We decided this was definitely fate, so that's one of the many activities we'll be doing in London!  


I start my full time job on Monday and am going to miss the sleeping in and lazing around, but I won't miss the lack of money :) I will finally have a decent source of income!


Ok, I know I'm supposed to be done with the studying, but I'm not.  I'm writing my CMA exam on June.15th (which also happens to be the day we leave for Europe) and need to study until then to get a passing grade!  Time for me to go study now :(

Food Blog

Since this one was turning into a food blog, I decided just to make a separate blog for my food talk and leave this one for other things in life (although I can't imagine anything more important than food to blog about..maybe my health?)

A New Array of Good Eats

After much planning, doddling and second guessing, we booked our Europe trip!  J and I are officially going to Europe for one month!  We leave June.15th to London and return on July.13th and now that we have the main flight booked, we have to ACTUALLY start the planning process.


What countries do we want to visit?  Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey are a few on the list right now.


I am excited for the yummy gelato and coffee everyone seems to rave about after they go to Europe.  I'm sure there's many other types of culinary surprises I will discover and enjoy along the way :) I will update on the planning process and what countries we will be going to for sure when we have a better idea!!!


Now the hard part is getting through my last set of final exams, EVER!
