Recent Weekend Adventures!

Hey All!

This weekend was wonderful and it blows into the final week! It is now the final countdown for sure!

On Friday evening, my family and I did a father-daughter catering dinner at Calvary Chapel Boise. The catering went splendidly!

My family and I awoke at 6am to create 63 box lunches for another catering. After being busy bees, Dad and I went off to do some last minute shopping for my goodbye party. The party started at 2pm and was wonderful. Many family and friends showed up and thanks to everyone that did! I will miss all of you guys!!! To keep the festivities going, some of my friends and I headed off to the movies to catch one last movie together! We saw Rush Hour 3 which was funny.

On Sunday, my family and I went to the movies to see the Nanny Diaries, it was not so much a comedy but rather an insight into the lives of uppity people back east. Afterwards, we headed off for a lunch/dinner (Lunnar) at Texas Roadhouse. I would have to say that I do not recomend getting a caesar salad but the ribs were good! My caesar salad had some sand in it and made me chip my tooth :( I didn't let that bring down my day and my family headed off for a nice afternoon stroll at Kathryn Albertsons park. We then drove around town and looked at some of the old houses that we have lived in throughout my life, and guess what, my original house was for sell again! I guess I must have jinxed that house ;)

I'm happy that I get to spend time with my parents before I head off to Rhode Island. I'm going to be spending my final week getting packed up and saying goodbye to everyone! So if you want to hang out or see me, let me know and email me at blumenla@gmail.com. Sorry this blog was so long, I'll try to make them shorter ;)

What a Great Success!

So the Deli George! 10th Anniversary Celebration was a great success! So many people brought in so much stuff and we got to see a lot of new faces come in for the first time! The Idaho Foodbank Lady came in and was shocked at all the food and donations that people brought. Thanks everyone for your generosity in supporting our community!

These are some pics from my cruise that my family took at the end of June to Alaska!

Deli George's 10th!!

August 19th is Deli George's 10th Anniversary!!! To celebrate, this Thursday we are exchanging food for items to donate for the Idaho Foodbank & Rescue Mission. The IdahoStatesman wrote an article for us on the front page and 4th page of the Life Section for Wednesday, August 15th, 2007. You can find it at http://idahostatesman.com/life/story/133241.html. I am so proud of my parents for creating Deli George and I am proud to have grown up there as I have learned so many things from them and from the deli. I am luckier than most kids, I got to grow up with my parents both at home and in their workplace, that means I am extremely close to them and my brother and we are a unified family unit. I do not know what I would do without these people in my life. They mean everything to me! Thanks mom and dad for being such great parents through thick & thin our family can do anything especially with God at our side!!!
