Happy November and Daylight Savings!

Yay for the extra hour of sleep!

And yay for the Tacoma Lutheran Retirement Community Gala at the Tacoma Convention Center last night! We had a great night full of the silent and live auction, a wonderful four course meal with wonderful prawns for the appetizer, a salad with sauteed apple, pomegranate and walnuts, and chateaubriand steaks with sauteed mushrooms, mashed potatoes and asparagus in a chardonnay marinade for dinner! And of course chocolate covered strawberries and other truffles for dessert. Mmm, it was so wonderful, and to go along with the great dinner we had "Cirque de la vie!" perform with amazing performances of human strength and flexability! Overall is was a fantastic formal night, Christopher and I looked fantastic in our formal attire, and it was so fun getting to meet all of my coworkers' spouses! Hope everyone else had a great Daylight Savings evening!

Oh, and by the way, the Gala raised over $100,000 to be put towards a new aquatic and wellness center! Yay!
