Love, Life, & Games of Chelsea & James: 2nd Year Send-Off

Last Friday night we attended an event at James' medical school called 2nd Year Send-Off! It's a party that the first year students put on for the second year students as a good luck & farewell for them to go off on their rotations for 3rd & 4th years. It's kind of like med school prom, but no dancing. Cocktail attire, live music, casino games, prizes, photos, & food! This year it was a 1920's theme, but not everyone dressed up. The food was decent--chicken, pasta, & potatoes, catered by Oggi's. I was a little hesitant about going just because of the casino games, but James told me they play with fake money to get raffle tickets to win cool prizes like an ipad mini! I don't even like the concept of gambling, but I was interested in winning the ipad mini, so James & the boys played Texas Hold'em for the majority of the night. James won a lot of "money," so we entered a lot of raffle tickets into the ipad mini jar, and put a few into the Target giftcard jar, and AMC Theater gift card jar. It was fun hanging with the girls and watching the boys be boys haha. I am excited for the professional photos to come out...we are posing with mustaches on sticks props, hats, feather boas, etc, and we should have a cute couples photo and group photo as well.Also, they haven't emailed the names of the winners for the raffle drawings yet. I will let you know if we won the ipad mini! It was a memorable night though, I'm really glad we went :)
