FYI: ‘Comment of the Year’ came from an elementary teacher. How’s that for seeing a teacher in a whole new light. Growing up, I was intimidated by most of my teachers. Thought they were more like robots….figured they were all single, cranky and lonely. Now that I’m older and smarter, I know better.
And it doesn’t hurt that I’ve ‘met’ Christielli and Kristi S along my blogging journey.
This past Saturday I went to a surprise ‘Good Luck, Goodbye and Never Give Up’ party for my cousin Renee. She’s moving far far away to Canadian Hollywood (Vancouver BC) for 6 months of serious heavy duty schooling at the Vancouver Acadamy of Dramatic Arts. Then she’s charging full speed ahead with all her might to break into the business. Be it acting, directing, producing, writing.......who knows. She’s had experience in all aspects already. Whatever makes her happy…….I’m just hoping I can design a necklace for her to wear to her first award ceremony. Oh and hoping I get an invitation to a Hollywood wedding someday. (Trust me, she’s gorgeous and won’t settle for a poor bald man……we’re gunning for Keith Urban…..Renee’s fairly certain she can knock Nicole out of the picture.)
It was a whole production to get Renee out of the house on Saturday so the decorations could go up. Finally my aunt shipped Renee off to a whole afternoon at the spa. When she arrived home (fashionably late of course……) the party started up with a vengeance.
The guest of honor arrives finally.
me and Renee.
Renee & my adorable little brother.....who's barely ever given me a good picture in his 26 years.
What's a Hollywood send-off party without Hollywood clappers??!?!?
Renee, you're such a goof...........and I love you soo much. Good luck!!

Looks like ya'll had a great time..wish I was there I so desperatly need a Crown and Diet 7 or Sprite..a girl can't be to choosy when begging for drinks
Hope that Renee has tonnes of success. Looks like a solid party.
Oh and that VJ that you hate was not there. Leah the one that looks like she is 12 was there, Hannah Sung was there and Matte the guy who hosts MOD were there. Nice people one and all.

Love the photos! Good luck to your cousin in BC. My roommate's from BC and considers it totally superior to Ontario in every way.
lol - Yeah - I totally don't fit your past cranky, lonely and single teacher stereotype... I'm only cranky and single... not so lonely since I have tonnes of buddies - real-life and those of the blogging persuasion. ;) Actually, I'm not even that cranky...
aww, cute post, raina.
you're so photogenic!
good luck, renee!
Great photos, looks like a great send-off party! Good luck to Renee :)
*Oh, and I am the most fun teacher you'd ever meet! Well, maybe not, but I am pretty fun ;)
