A Week or so in REVIEW!!

Okay so it's been a little while since I posted and I'd like to say sorry for that!! It's been a busy week...finishing school, working, weddings, Easter, finishing last papers, but it is all done now and I could not be more happy!! So here is a little review of my week!!


Okay so classes finished on Wednesday thankfully...we had a really hard last test in Shakespeare which sucked but oh well it's all over now! It was nice to come back to the house and just relax and watch TV, which is exactly what Brandon and I did...I do think that I have maybe found a wedding dress I was on the computer while Brandon snoozed and I think I found it...it's a similar fit to Sonja's wedding dress which is good since I tried hers on. It has some beading and sparkle which I like but it isn't too crazy...plus Sonja's veil and headpiece would work well which would be the something borrowed...if you want to check it out, I'd love to hear what you think. Go to... http://www.latterdaybride.com/ and go to the wedding dress section...then click on tulle and then hit San Diego and that is what I'm leaning towards!!


Thursday night was Jenn and Adams wedding reception which was really nice. I felt bad that they had such horrible weather but it didn't matter they had a great day and looked so happy! Their reception was at the Holiday Inn Harbour View, which was a really nice spot. They started the evening with a ring exchange ceremony, Jenn's parents got to walk her down the aisle which was cute. She looked beautiful in a dress that her new sister-in-law Julia made for her with a long veil...definitely good for walking up the aisle- great picture opportunity! They had a receiving line which Sonja and I did together since our guys disappeared. The reception was really great, everyone was able to just mingle, visit and eat...I got to chat with lots of people so I was happy! Kristine and Davis were in town for the wedding which was awesome, I love seeing those two I cannot wait until they move here!! Kristiane was in for the wedding too, all we have to do now is convince her to move back home and we'll be set! They had live music, which was a blast the guy was a lot of fun, little akayjah was loving dancing to the music. The night was beautiful and Adam and Jenn looked so Happy, I cannot wait until August when Brandon and I can have a wonderful night like they did...so excited! Here are a few more pictures I took at the wedding reception, hope you enjoy! To see the rest check out facebook!!!

Can I just mention as well that Ashley and Julia both sported new do's tonight and they looked amazing! Check out Julia's blog for more pictures, I just wanted them to know how awesome they both looked tonight!!

I was a little bummed because I had to miss girls night, but it was a nice reception so it was okay...i taped survivor and watched it the next morning before work...Yau Man is still holding strong which is awesome...he is adorable and smart, watch out all you other survivors, Yau is one to watch!!!


Friday was Good Friday...and it was a Good one for me. I worked some of the day on my last history paper which proved to be a bit more of a challenge, but oh well I worked it out. Brandon called me mid afternoon to tell me that we were going out to dinner that night with his family. So I had little time to get ready but managed to make myself look pretty good...Brandon doesn't like my hair curled but oh well what can you do! The Bings picked me up and we headed downtown to the Delta Halifax for dinner...we had quite a large table, which was fun. There was Peter and Laureen, Chelsey and Brittany, Brandon and myself and Meaghan and her new boyfriend Jason, who is really nice! We had such a yummy dinner...I had some steak sliced upon mashed sweet potatoes, with some veggies and a corn fritter type thing...oh my gosh just remembering it makes me hungry. Brandon made me try one of the appetizers he ordered which were muscles...not my favorite, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Even though it drives me crazy when he makes me eat new things, I love that he does make me try...that's another reason I love this guy! Dessert was great...when is dessert not great. We had a lovely evening eating and joking around and spending time with his family. i am definitely lucky, I am marrying into a wonderful family! We went out tonight to celebrate a few things, Laureen had taken a dance exam which went well, which is awesome...congratulations. We also were celebrating the engagement which was super sweet of them!! Brandon and rented a movie that night...we were going to get The Holiday since the pursuit of happiness wasn't in...but then they had a copy of The Good Shepherd, so we swapped for that since I knew Brandon would rather see that one...well that was a huge mistake and I think Brandon would tell you that too....it was just an okay kinda blah movie...and on top of that it was three hours long-BRUTAL! But we got to suffer together so we can't complain too much!


The picture was taken after dinner...I'm all about having lots of pictures of Brandon and I together, they are fun to look back on. I thought we looked really cute Friday night and we co-ordinated pretty well...it's actually a nice photo for both of us, which is always a plus. I'm pretty good at smiling on cue, but Brandon not so much, we'll have to work on that quite a bit before the wedding:)

Sunday was Easter, we had a nice family breakfast and looked at our Easter baskets. Mike had stayed the night since Keah had to work that night, so we almost had the whole fam that morning...well siblings...we missed you Kathy. That night we had a delicious Easter Turkey Dinner...mom always does a great job. Uncle Bill and Aunt Julia came in for the meal and it was filled with laughter and great times. We surprised mike tonight with a birthday cake. Mom wasn't sure if he'd be around on his birthday since Mike and Keah are going on School trip to Quebec...turns out that he will be so we'll have more cake on mike and kathy's real birthday! I took a few pictures of the soon to be 30 year old. I call this one brotherly love...I feel you really sense that by the smile and the knife pointing towards laura...hahha!!! I worked some more on my paper that night and then relaxed and watched some Making of the next Doll- they are searching for a new pussycat doll...it's a stupid show but still entertaining!!

Easter Monday... I had the day off to finish my paper up, and I DID!!!!! My last university paper is finished!!!!! I don't know if it is any good but i don't care, what matters is that it is finished!!!! I can't wait to hand it in tomorrow and be finished with it. Then the wedding plans can take full force!! So Brandon picked me up in the afternoon because we were going to be having Easter dinner at his home tonight. We stopped at Zellers to buy some Rubbermaid containers and then onto the house. Dinner was so good as always...Laureen is an amazing cook...she does his cherry sauce for Ham which is so yummy and her rolls are my favorite! After dinner we all went to the basement and watched some old home movies...Let me just tell you they were hilarious! I haven't laughed that much in forever. Brandon is too cute in them, running around with a super soaker, doing impressions. We watched some as old at 87...Chelsey is just a tiny new baby in them, and Jaccob is always wearing these mickey mouse ears. It was too cute. We watched some TV with Meaghan and Jason tonight too, which was fun, they are really cute together!! Brandon still have one more paper and an exam on Wednesday, so I don't know if I'll see him tomorrow but we had a really nice eater weekend together, which was great, although next Easter will be really fun because we'll be married then!! Ahhh I cannot wait!
