Bek in BrisVegas

What a whirlwind this week has turned out to be!

I headed over to Brisbane for a work conference this week which was both fun & tiring at the same time!

I arrived in Brisbane Tues. night at 7pm which was quickly followed by dinner with my work team. I got to bed around 2.30am Wed. morning and was up again at 6am for work at our Qld office.

Fortunately it was a pretty slack day at the office, unfortunately I didn't get to walk around Brissy which I was really hoping to do! I love Qld and being a tru-blu Qld'er myself, loved being there! I also didn't get to take that many photos, but I did get photos of the function we had on Wed. night. The area I work in, in the bank, is a specialised area and all states around Aus. caught up for a special celebration on Wed. night. Below are a few pics of the night.

You'll be proud of me...not one drop of wine or any sort of alcoholic beverage was consumed by me...as tempting as it was, I knew all eyes were on me!

The WA girls.

Cath, Minda, Nicole, Rosa, Lyn, myself, M'ree (Lyn is my best friend at work...she is the blessed soul who bought our pram)

Lyn & I

The tables at the function room. We had dinner at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Southbank (b.e.a.utiful!). This was our room (pics at bottom of link)

A banker from NSW who had a few too many and was air-guitaring and then proceeded to strip. Lucklily another mate held up his jacket to keep things hidden - then security arrived

Some dancing - I felt so unco with my belly

Minda & Cath getting their groove on!

Hatch (my manager) dancing with Minda

I now hold power over him!!

The only pic I got of Brisbane

The trip was just so quick! I got back to my hotel room at 1am Thurs. morning and then was up again at 6am to get ready to catch my flight back to Perth.

I am still sleep deprived and absolutely exhausted...just in time for our busy bee this weekend!

"Work" trip to sydney

The Opera House

Walking across the bridge. I started to walk over on the left side, got halfway and stopped by a security guard who said I was on the cyclist side and that he would give me a $500 fine if I didnt walk back. I had to walk all the way back and start again!

Under da bridge...under da bridge - sing with me!

Lunch and Dessert

After the wedding the bridal party (plus partners) went out to lunch at the pizza co. and had dessert at Swensens (so delicious!) It was a great time to relax and have some fantastic fellowship with people.
