a nice weekend

i had a really good weekend.  just wanted to tell you.  it went by way too fast but it was a good one!  here's why it was great:

• friday night kelly and i had drinks and dinner with two great friends, ted and rita.  we had korean food and many korean drinks.  then another friend, hang, came out to meet us.  we drank more korean drinks and then went to the tavern for even more drinks.  a great night.  lots of talking and really getting to spend some time with hang.  super fun.  
• saturday we went with krista and cheratien to the christmas bazaar downtown.  there were tables from many different countries, selling things from their country that are famous, like the maple syrup at the canada table.  there was also food from many different countries and you could get your picture taken with santa and his elves (which were students from our school).
• after the bazaar kelly drove me to the post office to pick up a package that i got in the mail!!  i was pleasantly surprised to get a ring and two charms from my wonderful aunties for a "thinking of you at christmas" gift!  so thoughtful of them!  thank you xoxo
• saturday night kelly, jeremy, cindy, colleen and myself were invited to krista and cheratiens for dinner.  inspired by a "20 awesome things" email from jeremy, we decided to get together for an AWESOME dinner with AWESOME people!  we ate delicious mexican food and drank yummy fruity drinks.  the night ended with a good talk and a good friend.  
• today i spent some time with the blog (i have been neglecting it, i know) and then went to the spa with leeann.  read about that insanity here.  
• kelly took me downtown this afternoon to do some shopping.  very productive trip.  i bought lots of fun stuff for my class's pen pals in canada and some christmas gifts for my family that i will be meeting up with in singapore next weekend. 
• finally, kelly cooked a delicious pot roast for dinner and leeann came over to eat.  a lovely way to end a great weekend!
