Whats been happening?

Heyyy Peeps!! 




It's been a long long time since I've posted anything.
Mainly because I have been busy with different things over the past few weeks.
One major thing that has changed since being active on the blog
is I started a new job. I now work for a company called Zendesk and I love it!!
Anyone who follows me on snapchat will know why!

Enjoying a prosecco @ my work leaving party

I had my leaving party in 37 Dawson Street. They have a 
small bar down the back called the Whiskey bar. This is for a more
relaxed setting before your night gets started. It has a 
a large couch and comfy seats to relax on.
The staff were so accommodating and even gave me a bottle of
prosecco as a thank you/congratulations on the new job which was
really nice. I would defiantly recommend the venue for 
any party or event.

Thank you to all my friends/colleagues in AZ Tech for coming out on the night!
I had a ball and I will never forget my time or the people in Allianz.

on to my new digs....Zendesk
I now work for the IT Global Support team in Zendesk.
and it is awesome.  I love my new Job!
Upon starting I received my MacBook Pro and lots of Zendesk Swag!
Including a bag, a jumper, a coffee cup, a t-shirt, a water bottle and a
portable Zendesk power bank.
My colleagues are all good fun and I have a super cool boss :)

Some Zendesk Swag & Cupcakes

Myself along with the rest of the Zendesk new hires for May & June 

April/May was quite busy for me with
changing job, My oldest friends wedding,
 my sisters hen party in Portugal, a trip
to visit my other sister in the UK along with going to the gym and football.

My oldest friend of 27 years Edward got married to
his beautiful wife Karen on the 27th April.


Myself, my Mam & Edward the day of his wedding 21years
after our first trip to the zoo.


Karen & Edward on their wedding day.

The wedding was one of the best I have been too if not the best!
  The wedding venue including the ceremony was in
the Spingfield Hotel in Leixlip.
I was an emotional mess at the wedding.
I was just so happy to see my friend so happy and so in love.
Myself and Edward grew up together and he was/is pretty much the brother
I never had so obviously I was going to be emotional.
After a stunning ceremony the guests were treated to
a prosecco reception while the room was reset for the
dinner.

The Couple had everything for their guests. At our table
was a lovely poem which I obviously cannot remember! It basically said
how were both lucky to have found one another and to look
under our plates, they hope someone
 in the room would become lucky. Underneath the
 plates of each guest was a scratch card each. I
have never seen this done before but along with the poem it was just really nice.
My scratch card did not make me rich unfortunately!
There was also a very large photo booth which was kept busy
throughout the night. The photographer also had
a gold frame, he was floating around taking pictures of the guests also.


Ronan, myself & my parents at Edward & Karens wedding.

The happy couple also had a sweet kart
and favors in the ladies bathroom consisting of all the
requirements a girl should need :)
The band and DJ kept us dancing all night, it really was
a great wedding! 
The hotel setting was stunning.

Thank you Edward & Karen for a wonderful day!

I left the wedding at 2:30am I would have stayed later
only for the fact I had a flight to Portugal to catch with 22
Mad hens for my sisters hen party in Albufeira. I arrived at the
airport a fair bit hungover after the wedding the night before.
The flight was dodge. Only when I landed did I start to feel normal again.
When I say Albufeira is mental it is! I would defo
recommend it for a mad drinking holiday, a hen or stag party.


The Bride and I


All the Hens with the Bride to be my sister Linda in Albufeira

On the first night we went hell for leather out on the strip all dressed
as lifeguards. needless to say a good few of us were out until the early hours of the morning!
I think the last time I saw on the clock was 6:30am.

The next day most of the group went to the beach while
myself and Nicole slept our hangovers off!
We relaxed by the pool for a few hours before getting ready 
to go out. The theme on the second night was black and classy.
We went for a slap up meal in a restaurant called the hot stone. The food
was divine! 
Just to mention my mother is 70 and she partied harder than most of us on the hen
I actually do not know where she gets the energy from! She told
me it was her first ever hen party, I could not believe it. It was
nice though because her first hen party happened to be
her daughters. <3

Anyway my sisters wedding is this month!
On June 30th, I cannot wait. The dress is bought
and operation slim down(again) has commenced!!

I also went to visit my sister Helen the end of May.
She moved to the UK a few months ago and
it was time for a catch up. While there we went to 
see Take that in the Getting Arena. The concert 
was brilliant!!!!
I see take that are streaming their concert tonight 
into cinemas across Ireland and the UK I would highly recommend if your 
a Take That fan and you didn't go to the concert to get on this right away!
Odeon and IMC cinemas have the rights to it so check you local listings.
We had a great time with my Sister and her partner Bal. The 
high light has to be my mother tasting one of the hottest sauces in
the world. Her reaction was priceless! I also got it on
video which is even better! 
Thanks Sis for a great weekend! 

I think that pretty much brings me up to date 
with all things here in the life of Annie Mac.

The next big event is the wedding eeekkk. I cannot wait!
Best of Luck to My Sister Linda & Gary on their Big day.

I will post on the blog hopefully once a week from 
here on out.

Chow for now!
Annie Mac
