Well last night i had my first of two bridal showers, it was really nice. It was at my Aunt Sherron's house, Kyle's mom(Cheri) and I got there at 6:30(it didn't start till 7:00 but oh well, i like being early). Then everyone else started filling in. 3 aunts, a bunch of cousins(8), Heather(my sister), Cheri, and a family friend(Val). we ate some little finger foods and cake. Then played the "spice game" its where you take a bunch of different spices and put them unmarked(aside from numbers) little cups and pass them around and then everyone writes down what they think is what. i got 5 out of 12 right. my Aunt Nancy and cousin Kim won, i think they got 8/12 right, so they won some stuff from bath and body works(its like the body shop, just bigger and better, and in the states). and then i opened presents. From Aunt Wendy and Andrea i got a big picture frame(with 7 photo spaces on them), a cutting board and a cheese grater(all things on my registry). Aunt Sherron gave me a bunch of stuff from bath and body works, Val(family friend) gave me a gift card to pier one, my cousin Danielle gave me a gift card for a movie theater. Melani(cousin) gave me a really nice chefs knife, and The Bullocks(Aunt Nancy, Cousin's Kim, Tara, Madi, Jeneal, and Charity) all pitched in and got us the dish set that we registered for. My aunt Sherron brought up a gift from my Grandma(in Utah). In there was 2 cooking sheets, a cook book(a really good one too), and something that my grandpa made. I didn't want to open it because i knew that i would start crying, but i did anyways, and i started crying, then aunt sherron started, then nancy, heather, kim, wendy, and andrea. but thats okay. i was very happy to get it. so yeah, it was a good night. we left at 9:00 and got home at 9:30, i drove. we made kyle come out and take the dishes in. it was alot of fun.
i'm looking foward to my shower next week out in Carmangay with my dad's family. and then the week after that its the wedding. very exciting stuff.
Heather will come over on sunday and we are going to make up the little party favors. so i have to go out and buy the candy tonight or tomorrow. as well as doing up the other center pieces. i have a list of stuff that i need to do. as well as picking up my dress. which i will do tomorrow. so i have a very exciting busy weekend. and next weekend i will be at the other shower and in Lethbridge so i wont have time to do any of this stuff. and as i am typing this i keep thinking of other things that i need to do. so i am just writing them down as i go. so again, a very busy weekend.
i am hoping we can get all the wedding stuff done as well as putting carpet in the computer room.
last weekend we did our bedroom. and it looks awesome. so it would be nice to get the other room done as well. we have the carpet for that room in one of the other bedrooms downstairs and once we get that roll of carpet out of there we will be able to clean up that room, maybe even get it painted, and have that all sorted out. then i think we will have our house in pretty good shape. so once again, a very very busy weekend ahead of me. but thats okay. but i better get back to work. bye byee for now...

Mothers Day...
My sister and I are going to go down to Lethbridge for Mothers day. Lethbridge because thats where our mom lives, for those of you that didn't know that. haha. I'm excited to see my mom, it hasn't been very long, but its different when you aren't able to see them every day, if you wanted. so i am excited, and then i will get to see her next weekend because she is coming up to go meet with people about the wedding, and pay for the most part of the food.and then just a few days after that for my first bridal shower, and then the next weekend after that Heather and I are going to Lethbridge again for my second bridal shower, and then......(haha) a week after that its the wedding. so my mom and i have some busy weeks ahead of us. but thats okay.
i am very excited about the wedding now. We looked at wedding bands for Kyle on monday, found some really nice ones, but really $$$ too. i know that i can get something nice and not have to spend alot of money either. so i will look more when Heather and I go to the mall on friday, and maybe in Lethbridge too if we get there early enough. I think we are going up saturday morning. Heather usually works on saturdays but i think she said that she was going to see if she could get it off, or only work till 12:00 or something like that. i dont know i will talk to her later and find out for sure.
we are meeting kyles friend(Andrew) and best man tonight for dinner and drinks, just to talk and hang out. it will be nice to see him, he was in Asia for i think 2 months or 7 weeks, i'm not sure, but we havn't seen him in a while, so it will be nice to catch up. but anyways..... i dont have much else to say, i am at work and i am bored!!!!! and this will be my second post this week, its a record, lol. anyways.... bye byee for now.

33 days till the wedding…
Not much to say though, everything is done. We just need to pay for the food. My mom is coming up from Lethbridge on the 17th(of May) to pay for it, well her part at least, and I will get the other part of the money from my dad before that time. I figured out the main stuff, and who paid for what…
Hall – $150, Kyle’s parents
Bar Service – $100, Kyle’s parents
Food – $1350, $1000 from mom, and the rest from dad
DJ – $500, Kyle’s parents
My Dress – $600, Me (Kyle’s aunt Heather is doing my hair for me)
Cake – $300ish, Heather
License - $92, Me
Everything else we didn’t spend much on, the centerpieces were $30 for 15. So that was awesome. And there wasn’t a whole bunch left after that. We have everything pretty much all together. We (Heather and I) are going shopping for Heather’s brides maids dress on Friday, I really hope that we will be able to find something. And that’s pretty much it. Oh yeah, candy for the little “goodie bags” for the tables, and that’s it, I think. Lol. I am getting even more excited, I have my bridal shower (first one) in 2 weeks, and then the other a week after that. I am just so excited!!!! But that’s all I have to write for now. So yeah, bye byee for now.
