So we are on the countdown. Tomorrow is officially the first day of September and that means that I will be a Mrs. in 17 days!!! I really can't wait. I think that this is going to be a wonderful day and there will be no other like it. No I haven't pumped it up too much.
I can't say that I have a whole lot to do either. I have to print a few things off on the computer, get my hair trial done, and talk to the Greenwood Inn. That is pretty much it. Besides cleaning my house and getting ready for all the relatives that are going to be coming over in the next few weeks.
I have to admit that it is a little hard for me to believe that we are at this point in the game. It is just around the corner and I feel like I have to do something more. Like I should be stressing out way more than I actually am. I have been told on many occasions that I am way to relaxed about this. What is there to worry about?? As long as I'm married at the end of the day there really isn't anything to fuss over.
Well if I keep going this way I know that I will just work myself up and start to worry about the silly little things.

Going home
I've been confronted with something that I have been worried that I wouldn't hvae to confront for a long time. I will be heading home to be with my Grandmother.
Yesterday morning she fell in the washroom and broke her femur. She is under going surgery to have a pin placed in the bone. I worry that this will progress her already failing health. I have heard that she may never be able to walk again and that the trip out to Calgary for my wedding may be impossible.
Right now I'm a little introspective and I think that I just need to be with my family.

Rain, rain and more rain
I'm sick of it!!! it has been raining here in Calgary for 2 weeks now. Everything is dripping wet, the rivers are over flowing and my lawn needs mowed. You can see my list of priorities. At least it is helping my garden. I actually have a garden! It is growing so much that we had to trim down the rhubarb because it was taller than the fence.
I'm going to give you an update for the wedding plans. I just got off the phone and found out that my flowers are only going to cost me $120!! We are getting them from Costco and are going to be putting them together ourselves. I think that this will save us a huge headache or create a huge head ache as I have never really done flower arranging before. I need to do a trial run I think.

update
Here is an update as I have broken my promise and not written here in a very long time. Much has happened in the past few months. In Febuary Christopher and I helped a friend of the Peariso family to move into a retirement home. This left a large home ready to move into. Well with a little help Chris and I purchased our first home. I am happy to report that we moved in on March 18, 2005.
Ever since then we have beeen going steady. My mother and two of my brothers came out just after easter. It was wonderful to have them out to see the house. Mom and I also had lots to do tring to get lots of wedding stuff done. I have to say that by the end of the week I had the perfect wedding dress and i would tell you more about it but I know that Chris reads this and he doesn't want to hear anything about it.
Then two weeks later Chris loaded up our friend Stephen's things and took it all down to LA for him. You see Stephen moved down there to work but didn't want to move everything when he went because he didn't know if his visa would work out. but that is besides the point. Chris drove Shephen's things to him in a Uhaul truck. Actually this wasnt' as bad as it might sound. The only real delay was of course at the border. They held him up there for over 4 hours. When he didn't check in with Deb (Stephen's mom) she started to freak and call everyone. She made it sound like Chris was detained at the boarder and that he was not going to get through. She wanted to get in a car and drive to lethbridge and rescue Chris. I would have loved to do this but I was leaving for Rosetown in only a few hours. Anyway Chris made it through and the only reason he didn't get through was the guy there was just lazy.
The reason I was going to Rosetown was I had been hired to work the regional drama festival. It was so much fun. I got to see so many different and wonderful plays. It really made me realize why I love theatre. There is no other kind of energy like that of drama kids.

The bridal fair and so much more
Well so much for doing this every day but at least I'm trying. So to bring you up to date this past week has been kinda busy. First off on January 15, I was making breakfast and while I got the bacon going I decided to make one of Chris' favorite foods potato scones. These were frozen and I needed to pop them apart. Well the knife slipped and went right into my hand. The blood started to pour and I was spooked. I ran to get help with my my hand in my mouth. I was in so much pain. Chris was trying to help me but our first aide kit was not up to snuff. All we had was a roll of gauze that I wrapped around my hand like a war wound. I was so light headed and grumpy that I needed to sit down. Well there goes breakfast. The cut was deep but not big enough to get stitches.
Both of us where hungry so we decided to go to the Mexican restaurant across lake. We packed up and headed over, but it was closed. Actually most of the restaurants on the west side of Chestermere were closed. This left us no chose but to go to the place were we go all the time. The Landing. Now let me explain if you have seen Shawn of the Dead, The Landing is our Winchester. It is the place where you always go for a bite and drink.
While we were eating our friends started to call. First it was my friend Allyson it had been her birthday the weekend before. She had wanted to go out and party but wasn't really feeling up to snuff so she had asked me to go out with her this weekend. I thought that it would be fun to go out for a girls night. Now this shouldn't be a conflict but my friend Jeff had given us a call during our meal and asked Chris and I to go to his birthday party that night. Chris and I decide to split up I will go with Allyson and he can go to Jeff's. Well that is that. I got all tarted up after dinner and Chris and I headed into the city.
Allyson wanted to go to a new bar called Mynt, very cool bar, with all sorts of moods. We started to dance and have a couple of drinks, then Allyson spotted a guy she thought was cute. She grabbed his butt and he bought her a drink. Actually he bought her many drinks, then she stuck her tongue down his throat. This is when I sat down and let her have fun.
Hey it's her 25th birthday.
After a little bit she gives me the thumbs up and walks away. Okay they are going to go to a different part of the bar. I just wait in a corner,I wait,and I wait, oh did I mention that I was waiting all by my self in a crowded bar. I waited until 1:30 in the morning but Allyson did not return. By this time I am worried and pissed. I called up Chris to pick me up, tried to put money in her coat, so that if she has spent all her money she at least has money for a cab. Oh I called her every 15 minutes trying to find out if she was alive or dead or if this guy had done something horrible to her. Finally I gave up and went to bed. The next morning Chris actually called her around 10:00 and she had just crawled in her window because her coat with her keys and cell phone was still at the bar. When I told you about the thumbs up and her leaving well she had been swept into a cab and taken to a house party in the north west of Calgary. Oh now I was pissed. I had just spent a night at a bar all by myself, not gone to a party that I would have had tons of fun at, tried to leave her money for a cab, worried that she was dead in a ditch to find out that she had gone to some guys house to play Xbox and make out. Well at least she was all right and had a major hang over.
I had to go over there later to pick up my purse and an over night bag, which I had left there, and she felt really guilty and embarrassed. I really can't stay mad at anyone for too long, also when I went to look in my purse after I had left there was the Circle of Friends DVD and in my bag there was Boys on the Side. That made me giggle.
The rest of the week went by pretty fast. Our friend Steven moved back down to the States, but now he is in LA. The night before he left we got together with a few other friends and went for Alberta prime rib at a restaurant called Smugglers. Chris and Steven love this place because you can get a prime rib the size of a dinner plate the is so tender that you don't really need to cut it. Any way after dinner we went to a movie. It must have been a really good one because I can't even remember what it was called. That was our Friday night.
Saturday was uneventful I worked that was about it but Sunday was the Bridal fair that I actually got Chris to come with me to. Jeff and Jen, friends of ours, are getting married the week before us and so the four of us all went to the fair together. It was really fun to have the boys involved in the process. Both of them are not really into the planning of the weddings and would rather not attend all of the bridal events that give you all the information that you need. But we saw a lot of booths that made us go oh that is what I want. We saw our wedding cake, actually our wedding cupcakes. It was a tower of cupcakes that had a smaller cake on the top for cutting. I love the idea of this and really want to have one for the wedding.
Well hopefully I will keep you updated better in the future talk to you soon.

home bound
Wow, is Calgary cold out there. The mercury is down to -35 degrees celcius, and I have only been out side twice. Once was to get few grocereys for my mother in-law and the second was to get milk from next door. That was the only thing that I had forgotten. Right now the highway comeing in and out of here is closed and all i want to do is watch very bad movies and play with wool. The only thing that I need now would be for my fiance to be here. Oh but he is in San Fran looking at very cool Apple computer products. Well back to the bad movies and wool. later.

My first
Well I would say that I'm not the best person to be keeping one of these, but I think that I should at least try. It would be good for me to write at least something everyday. I will warn you that it may just be a lot of babble, so here it goes...
