Weekend Getaway

I’m SO excited to take a weekend adventure with my hubby!! We’re leaving this morning for Vancouver (the 2010 Olympic city).

John was invited to be the Auctioneer for a Charity Auction in Vancouver on Saturday night. I was invited to attend also. I debated and considered attending…for 1 second…YES I’d LOVE to.

As if you didn’t all know already, I LOVE to travel, love a reason to get dressed up, and escape with my man.

The Charity Auction is for the Phoenix Academy of Learning Society – PALS, a school for children with Autism. Ritchie Bros Auctioneers, John’s fantastic employer (I’m not just saying that because of this event – believe me!) is a sponsor and having John auctioneer is just one of the ways they are contributing.

John also thought I’d love to hear that there is a “Shoe Raffle”. I’m quite curious about this…

We’ve been blessed to attend, support, and contribute to many charity events. However, I’m really excited about this one! Must be because we can make a weekend getaway of it and are flying to attend.

I was stressing about what I was going to wear – I didn’t realize it until my friend Erica and I were talking last week. I didn’t have a dress that I felt awesome in. I REALLY wanted to wear my red heels (that my Grandma gave me for my Birthday last year) and buy a new red dress. Well, after going to store after store, mall after mall, website to website – no luck. My quest will continue to find a red dress, to wear to another occasion. I finally discovered the outfit for the gala at Ronda’ Boutique (aka – my Mom’s closet) and luckily borrowed it.

I’ll try and tweet my way through the weekend (Twitter @robynbeazley) and I’ll capture pictures to share.

Have an amazing weekend friends.

Live Inspired,
