So these pictures are from our anniversary weekend...the post that goes with it is 03/21/07 (the post below)

Saturday I slept in and Darcy came over for a late lunch. I made cheese eggs and bagels, it was delish. After lunch we walked to the store to pick up some things for Sunday lunch. After realizing how beautiful it was outside we decided to get on our snow gear and go walking around our yard. (Pictures to come!) Amber and Hailey came over for supper and we then proceeded to do the same puzzle twice! Yes, that is right the same puzzle back to back. This may sound odd (and it is) but we have a favorite family puzzle. It is a zoo puzzle sort of...just a lot of different animals and we have gotten pretty good at it (except for those silly foxes!!) anyways we decided to time ourselves and see how fast we could do it. The first time took us around 32 minutes, the second 28. So we have recorded our times and plan to beat it sometime in the near future. Darcy and I then headed to his place where he worked on his baptism questions and I finished up some thank you cards. Let me tell you that is the worst part about weddings!!! I have written out countless thank you cards and am not done yet! Don't get me wrong I am very thankful for all the wonderful gifts we got...It's just a lot of thank you's to go around! Sunday was our 3 year anniversary!! After church Darcy and I went to his place for lunch. Lisa, his mom and dad were in Carmen for church since it was Kelli's last Sunday here. Darcy made a wonderful lunch (pictures to come), and then we went to Winnipeg for supper to our favorite restaurant; The Keg...mmmm Delish! We then headed out to Portage Place where we went to see Deep Sea 3D at IMAX. Ridiculous glasses and all! It was a lot of fun!!! (Pictures to come!!) And of course Timmies after which I am now 1 for 8 with Roll Up The Rim!!!

All the major events that have happened since I last blogged!!! Enjoy

For those of you (amber) who can't seem to stop pestering me...(amber) and leaving annonymous comments (amber) to update my blog can just be patient, and relax!!! I guess it was time to update though seeing as my last post was only scribbler. But I have nothing very new and exciting to blog about. Wedding stuff is going good, I am only a half frantic bride...the hardest part about wedding stuff is waiting...I know that it is only 45 days (yes I know under 50 days!!!) until April 21st but it is so frusterating to wait. I have had a pretty hard last week or so and hoping for things to look up. I have to keep reminding myself not to get stressed about all that needs to get done. I am trying to take everything one day at a time and not think about the 5 million things I need to get done before our wedding yet. The big thing now is invitations, they are getting worked on as we speak. I know that I should have gotten this done a long time ago so that it was finished and I wouldn't have to think about it anymore. But that is not the case with me, I tend to procrastinate and then stress out way more that I should. But it will all get done, everyone reassures me of that quite often.

On to more exciting news...I have had 3 showers already and we have gotten A LOT of stuff. It is very overwhelming that the huge mountain of gifts at every shower is just for you. I don't really enjoy being the center of attention so I was happy to have 2 of those showers with my soon to be sister in laws...but yesterday it was all by myself! I was very nervous for this shower, but it all turned out to be fine, there were a few people who watched me open gifts; and most of them were my closer friends, a lot of the other ladies would sit and talk and not have their attention on me....WHICH I LOVED!!!!! I am not sure how many showers there are left at the moment I know of 4 sneaky girls who are planning something but I have no clue what is in the works it makes me a little nervous! haha (not really) and then of course a Brandt Road shower, beacuse that is what our street does...showers and bbq's. :)

Last Friday Darcy and I headed to the City to meet up with Jared and Jill to see a movie and go out for coffee (I am currently 0-3 with roll up the rim). Darcy and I decided to head to Future Shop to do some camera shopping since we had 2 hours before we had to meet Jill and Jared. We thought we'd have enough time to look around, maybe purchase a camera and go for supper before we had to meet at 7. Well that is not quite how things turned out. Our browsing turning into buying and not only buying but a lengthy 1 1/2 explanation about our camera, added accessories we could buy, a four year service package we could invest in, and a lot of other non-related camera talk we both didn't want to hear. After our purchase, we got to the mall just in time to meet Jared and Jill and have a quick Sizzling Wok (mmmm sooo gooood!) and NYFries (mmmm also sooo goood!). I have been playing a lot with our new camera trying to figure out all it's functions...I am use to having few options on a camera and a tiny little screen that you can hardly see anthing out of so this is a big improvement! So here is our Canon PowerShot SD 700...
