Things Have Been Busy!!

Well sorry I haven't updated in a while we had a very busy week. We went to Seattle on Tuesday to see our friend Max, and he looked great. I am also happy to report he is doing much better, he is peeing and eating and they have had 2 negative e-coli stool samples so the hope is for him to be out of the hospital in the next few weeks. Praise The Lord!!!

The rest of the week was Wedding Extravaganza:) Wednesday was my sister's bachlorette party, we went for dinner then to her place and watched wedding related movies while enjoying an ice cream sunday bar. Thursday was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Friday the couple wanted to take all the wedding party out for an evening so I went with Candy and her friend Amber and we got manicures and pedicures first then went out with everyone for chinese food and mini golf. It was alot of fun! The Saturday was wedding day!! I t was a beautiful day and the location, Minter Gardens in Chilliwack B.C., was gorgeous everything went off without a hitch. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was fun and the food was good! What more could you ask for. The only thing missing for me was my Mom. I missed her that day and from Wednesday till Sunday I had a couple of emotional breakdowns and I think it was mostly cause I was missing Mom and wishing she could be there. Although I know she was there in spirit I wanted to see her and talk to her.

The other great thing about the wedding was a few old friends were there along with our Aunt Shirley and Uncle Harry and cousins Robin and Craig. I was great to see them and talk with them. On Sunday we came into town early to meet with Valerie, one of the old friends I was talking about, although she is more like an adopted sister in our family it was great to chat with her and get caught up. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta now and so we e-mail occasionally but it was great to sit with her and talk. We love her so much. Then it was off to the gift opening where we enjoyed mexican food, cold cuts and cheese and cake!! We watched them open their gifts then off to the honeymoon they went. Angel and I then met with my Mom's best friend Suzette, we love her so much, we got to see her and get caught up with her as well. She moved to Calgary area shortly after Mom passed away and since then her Son has gotten married and many wonderful blessings have come their way. It was so great to see her and talk to her. Talking to Suzette is like talking to my Mom and I just can't say enough how glad I am to still have Suzette in our life.

So that was my week busy but fun. I will post some pictures from the wedding later. Next week is exciting we have our Ultrasound on tuesday the 23rd and our first Birthing class the same day then on Thursday is our monthly doctor's appointment. So lots of updates pictures etc. to come!!!
