End of Summer Update

Hey Everyone,

I know it's been a while.  Actually my last post was dated back in July! 

They say that summer is probably one of the more laid back seasons, but for me, I find that the summer months are the busiest!

I don't take much time off during the summer, that's because everyone else tends to take time off, so I'm the go to girl to fill in.  Which I really don't mind.  I get to do a lot at work!

Besides work, I have been able to spends some time with some of my greatest friends and family.

Here are some of my highlights of the summer!

We had our annual Family Reunion Ribfest which I had mentioned early in the summer.

There were so many great ribs!!  Everyone did a great job and it was great seeing everyone.  Unfortunately my ribs, came as first runner up.  Next year, I will take home the trophy!  Next year.

Another highlight of the summer was going to one of my favourite concerts, not once, but twice.   It should be dubbed as the best boy band combination ever.  N-K-O-T-B-S-B!!!  That's right, that's the New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys coming together on one stage for one fantastic tour!  The concerts were so much fun, I will have to save all the details for another blog posts for later.

One of my biggest highlights was to meet Jordan Knight!  One of the perks to my job!  Picture to come at later post!

This summer was not all about concerts, we got to hang out and chill at the cottage.  My boyfriend's parents have a trailer outside of Trenton and it's always great to go out there and relax.  The water is just great and we pretty much lucked out with the weather the both times that we were up there.  The first time it was just my boyfriend and I.

What a beautiful view.

Water was a little chilly.

The 2nd time we went was in August and we went with 2 of our close friends.  It was also a great weekend.  The water on the lake was absolutely amazing.  We went for some great tour around the wineries in Prince Edward County.  We went boating, roasted marshmallows by the campfire and even went for an evening swim in the lake.  Which was pretty scary!

To end the summer, there was the Burlington Ribfest.  Canada's largest Ribfest.  And let me say, that the Ribs were amazing!!!

So many people waiting for ribs.

Our first round of Ribs from Sticky Fingers, The Silver Bullet and Kentucky Smokehouse.

Overall....a great summer indeed!!!
