A Much Needed Update
A lot has happened since the last time I posted, so I will try to catch you up on the happenings of my life. On Saturday Mom, Amber, Auntie Martha and went to the Wonderful Wedding Show in Winnipeg. It was so huge and there were tonnes of booth's to look at. One of our very first stops was Rygiel Photography. Amber then went on ranting and raving about their photography as she was at a wedding they did. We looked at their pictures and were very impressed. They had a pretty good package and are VERY unique. Feeling a little pressured I phoned Darcy and we decided that it was a go. They would spend all day with us and that means we only had one photographer as opposed to two like we thought we'd have to get. After walking through the whole show we were famished. After a lunch at Applebees and of course a stop at Timmies we were on our way home. I then headed to Darcy's and we met the College and Career-ers and went curling in Sperling. Jill posted pictures of our great curling skills...we held the team together!!!
Sunday consisted of Church, eats, sleeps, and going to Winnipeg to bowl and go out for a late supper, with Lisa, Tyler, Dicker, Justin, Carly, Mike & Misty, Kelly, Kelli and one of Kelli's friends. It was Kelli's birthday on Friday so we all got together and celebrated on Sunday. It was so much fun. I always have fun bolwing but I am not very good at it. Well this time was a little different! Dicker, Tyler and I both shared early on that we were all less than average bowlers. But did we ever shock people. The first game I ended up second with 136 points. ( I think that was my personal best! But I don't keep close track on my bowling scores!) The second game didn't fair so well for me. Tyler on the other hand finished with an astonishing 210; beating Dicker and winning him a free appitizer. Thus ends Sunday.
Monday consisted of getting up far to early to go line up for 2 hours 23 minutes and 25 seconds to finish our passports. We had gone 3 days before to try and finish but to our dismay we were thirteen numbers away when they closed and were told to come back another day. 26 grumbly people then filed into the elevator, all complaining about how much work they had to take off in order to do there passports, and how close they came. Four numbers away, that was as close as it would come for a lady who had already been waiting for over two hours that day. Monday did go well for us though. After our successful passport finishing, we headed to Selkirk Ave. to rent tux's for the wedding. We were pleasantly surprised at the luck we had. A very friendly woman helping us and exactly what we had in mind for tux's. Sugar Mountain came next dispite our growling stomachs. After our purcahses we entered for a chance to win a nintendo Wii and won a $10 gift certificate to SM (the next best prize to the Wii...Score!) Taco Bell/ KFC was too contriversial for us. People yelling and non of the tills working sent two famished people to Mc.D's. When we got back I finished my errands and in the evening Amber hosted an Epicure party.
Wednesday Mom and I went to Winnipeg and did some wedding shopping. We got a lot accomplished and then our last stop was to Stellas. Yes, it is true as of now my wedding dress is sitting at home waiting to be worn on April 21st. I tried it on again before we took it home and I did not want to take it off! I still love it as much as I did the first time I feel in love with it, maybe even more. I can't wait to wear it and I'm sure I will try it on a few times before teh 21st yet!
Tomorrow I will head off to MDS with a bunch of people from our church and go work in Diamond, LA.; Close to New Orleans. I am getting more and more excited to go. I know that I will miss Darcy crazy much but I'm sure I can make it through. 10 days is the longest we have ever been apart since we have been dating. It will be hard but I know that I am going to have an awesome experience and this is something I have never done before. Please remember to pray for our group of 16 going down to help out.
That is my update on wedding and life in general. Anonymous commenters (amber I'd assume) cannot but me for not posting for the next few days. I will maybe try to post if I feel like it when we get to Diamond but that is not a promise. To everyone who is staying here, hope you all have a good week!
