Hey Peeps,
As usual its been a while!
sure I may as well be consistent with my lack of blog posts!
let me fill you in.
One big thing that did happen on June 30th was my sisters
wedding!!! It was an amazing day! I still can't
believe she is married <3 and she made the most beautiful bride!
Welcome to the family
Gary!!!
I went with a cream and baby pink Dress with pink fascinator
rose gold shoes and Bag.
This was one of three dresses I had bought for the wedding!
The stress of it LOL
The wedding took place in Balscadden Church which is a small,
intimate, pretty church just on the outskirts of Balbriggan.
The reception was then held in the Glenside hotel.
The whole day was fab, food was amazing and the music was superb.
There really is nothing better than a family wedding.
There was a Prosecco and Guinness reception on arrival for all the
guests. The couple had also organised a singer in the resident’s bar while
the guests waited to be called for dinner and the wedding photos got underway.
This was a nice touch. The style at the wedding was fab!
There was also an amazing blow up photo-booth which
everyone had a crack at after dinner.
Thank you, Linda & Gary,
for an amazing day I'm sure you had a ball!
Can't wait to see the wedding photos!
Techies for Temple Street
On July 7th, Myself and 19 others from Zendesk took part in the finale of Techies for Temple Street. This is the third year Zendesk has taken part and this year the company were the main sponsors. My team was called team Sombrero and the other Zendeskian team was team Relationshape. We all boarded the bus for the RDS at midday.
1,000+ people from all different companies across Ireland technology
sector came to Dublin to compete in the techies for temple street treasure hunt. This consisted of a mind and body stimulating challenged across the capital city.
The event was tun by an event company called dynamic events and hosted the trail online.
In total, we walked/ran 15km around Dublin city in one of the hottest days of the summer. The trail this year was on an app, we had to go to different locations around the city and unlock and complete challenges. We may not have won or even came in the top 10but we sure had great crack. I would highly recommend this charity event and I will defiantly be taking part again next year.
Simon Community room to improve in Oak house
Zendesk also partner with a lot of other charities in the city and beyond.The Simon Community and YMCA are two of these charities.I took part in a project called Room to Improve. This is wherevolunteers come and help decorate and improve rooms in the facility. Oak house is a high support housing facility in Dublin 7. Ithouses 32 individuals at present. Eachhas their own bedroom, which consistsof a bed, wardrobe and sink area.Before the Simon Community took the building over, it was ran by the local council. As you can imagine it was not in great shape as it is an old building.Six of went down to oak house that morning and were given Rollers and paintto decorate three bedrooms. As you can imagine the threeresidents whose rooms were getting the makeover were very excited.It felt good knowing doing something so small can make one person so happy.

The group were split into groups of three. A pair in each room.
Myself and Jamie had the pleasure of doing the smaller of three.
We completed two coats of paint on each wall and pretty much finished this room.
I unfortunately don't have any before and after pictures.
It was a really rewarding experience and if the chance ever comes up
again to do something like this I will be jumping on board.
