Holiday Gala

My new job definitely comes with a lot of fun perks. First of all I cannot even begin to communicate the amount of free food I've consumed over the past month. The first day of my new job there was a team lunch, the second day there was an HR department lunch. This week on Monday there was another team lunch for our training event, Tuesday was another HR department lunch, Wednesday I sat in on a Marketing Strategy Session (or I could have attended a lunch-and-learn session) and Thursday night was a dinner with my client team, and that is only two weeks right there. In between there was plenty of other events as well.

They do a lot of team building events to say the least. One of those events is their annual Holiday Gala event in which they invite the entire company AND spouses to one of the nicest reception halls in the area. Our friends Joe & Gina got married here and the reception was incredible. Mike was in for the event once he heard where it was being held. It actually was a lot of fun to be able to see all of my HR colleagues at such a nice event. And it was great to have an excuse to get a new dress and get all dressed up. Although finding a dress was quite the process but that's a whole other story, in the end the dress did work out! We had a great time at the party and definitely enjoyed the food!

LOVE this picture of me and the hub!

 Here's me in my sexy little cocktail dress for the occasion, 

I was a little worried at first but the black tights with it worked out perfectly! 

 One other perk, here is my Holiday Gift too!

Boy I love it here! :-)
