Paulette and Russell's Reception

Saturday evening, I headed to St. Paul to attend the reception of Paulette and Russell.  Paulette teaches at the school at which I work, and is a delightful girl.  I don't know Russell very well, but he seems to be equally wonderful.

The reception was on the 8th floor atrium of the Galtier Plaza, downtown.  The atrium was GORGEOUS!  Glass ceilings, a middle section that was open all the way to the ground floor, an outdoor roof patio/garden...amazing!

Each table was set with a board game, and there were signs to tell you which "game" you were to play.  There was also a "horseshoe" game on the patio, and air hockey and foosball on the floor above.  Very cool!

We had a sit-down dinner of pasta, salad, and bread (I didn't get any cake, now that I think about it!), and then the rest of the evening was spent dancing!  Wow!  I haven't danced like that for AGES (and TOTALLY paid for it the next day when I couldn't WALK without groaning...my calves STILL hurt when I climb stairs!).

Here are some photos of friends from work at the festivities...
