the latest
Our wedding blog seems to be neglected lately. There's been plenty of updates to write about, but no time to do it. So here goes:
- We completed our pre-martial classes with Paster Mike. They were actually quite enjoyable (though, budgets were a bit of a nightmare) and we've each learned some valuable tools. Plus we got to know our Pastor more and vice versa.
- Marcus completed the wedding invite design and found a local printer, who eventually fell through, so we got them done at Kinko's. Yes, good 'ol Kinko's to the rescue. Now we just have to set time aside to address envelopes (and also time to drive across the border to get some US stamps, for those American RSVP cards... adventurrre!)
- We finally found the perfect containers for our table centrepieces-slash-guest-favours and they were completely within our budget! Thank goodness for Ikea sales! So we bought three boxes and sat there wondering how we would get them back to Alberta. We managed to fit two boxes in our Accord for our summer trip home. And we're forcing Tina to take the last box back with her when she comes to visit at the end of July. Problem solved.
- So we drove to Alberta, which sort of went something like this... two nights in Banff, one night in Calgary, two nights in Red Deer, four nights in Calgary. There was Marcus' birthday party, a whole lot of family visiting time, a trip to stampede (including the rodeo), a broken down car, a tow truck, Canadian Tire mechanics, an appointment with our wedding DJ, and our wedding shower BBQ (quaintly titled "Camp Marah"). Thanks so much to those who were able to attend our shower and for all the wonderful camping gifts! They will get lots of use over the coming years. Yay, camping!
Phew! So I think that brings everyone up-to-date. Lots more developing. We'll try to be more diligent at writing in the blog.
