Weddings All Around!
This past weekend has been much anticipated between my friends and I for months and months! It was my bestie Jenna's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette weekend!! Sally (the MOH) planned the shower for the most part and Stephanie and I (the other bridesmaid) took care of most of the Bachelorette details! Since Sally is living in Ottawa currently (with her wonderful husband and childhood friend of mine Bryan - being a big time chef and whatnot!) this seemed like the easier root to take!
I will say it was an AMAZING weekend and I think that Jenna had an incredible time, felt special and loved and got to spend lots of time with the girls so I chalk that up as a success! We had a beautiful and very pinteresty shower at Sally's beautiful Shediac cottage on Friday evening! Sally did an amazing job and really went all out, especially with the food!
Saturday we started the day with brunch, had some primping time with the ladies then got things going with some punch, games, limo, scavenger hunt and VIP table for the evening! We couldn't be happier with how things went, and Jenna deserves all of it and more!
My friend Jenna is one of the just absolutely kindest and sweetest people you can find and definitely the best friend a girl could ask for! Her and her fiance Jesse have been together for TEN years, (since we were 14) and they are just perfect for each other. They are such a beautiful couple and I can't wait for their wedding and to continue to watch their amazing relationship and be a part of their lives! The wedding is in July and a wedding means a honeymoon, and a honeymoon means I get to babysit my best buddy JUDE for the week! So excited!

Not only is Jenna's wedding this summer but my friend from University is getting married the same exact day (Sorry Martha to have to miss it!) and I have the pleasure of MCing the nuptials of my good friend and former roommate Kim and her fiance James' wedding to wrap up the summer on Labor day weekend! So many weddings, so much Love!
Congratulations to all you love birds out there!

So Let's Try This Blogging Thing Again...
Well, I started the blog in February. I felt ambitious. Then I felt I had nothing worth while to say. So I'm going to jump back into it again and just post anyway, and we'll see if anything interesting turns up!
Many exciting things have been happening lately! It's been a busy few months. I finally got a job. Well I got two jobs in the same week actually. So it's proved to be very busy since about mid-march but after being unemployed for so long it was much appreciated for a few different reasons. Two jobs meant I wasn't bored out of my mind anymore, which was nice for me but also very nice for my fantastic boyfriend who I think I was driving a bit nuts with my waiting for him to get home everyday and being WAY too excited and starved for attention by that time. And because let's face it, I'm supposed to be a grown up and grown ups need money for things like food, cars, loan payments, rent and so on.
So since March I have gotten two jobs, one as an Education Assistant and one serving at a great gastropub downtown, I have moved in with that fantastic boyfriend I was just telling you about, I've played some serious ultimate frisbee, I've planned a bachelorette, and I've decided that I am not going to be heading to London for the year in September.
Now, I've decided not to go to London for many different reasons, financial issues for one thing, the serious grown up career teaching job search is extremely tough right now and taking a year away from the district could be more harmful then helpful, and my relationship situation has changed dramatically. When I decided to go I was a single lady, fresh off a breakup and looking for an adventure and new outlook. Which is much different from being extremely happy in a relationship and knowing that I'll be sharing adventures with this man for a long time to come. So bottom line is I'm not going for the year but I will be getting to Europe, and hopefully soon. I'm extremely confident in my decision and I can't wait for what is to come over the next year.
So I'm back to the blog and I can't wait to continue to update it much more regularly from now on. So stay tuned!
