2 years

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Hope everyone is doing well:) I'm pretty good and keeping busy as I've taken on another person's job this week while they are away on vacation. I had a fun time on the weekend getting my last stash of blueberries picked. I ended up picking 36lbs of berries and I'm finally able to freeze some even though the blueberry monster (hubby) is catching up! Ry and I also had a fun time walking around down town looking at designs for our tattoes:) More to come on that later! On Saturday night I watched Sex and the City 2 as I hadn't seen it yet. I thought it was pretty good and more applicable to me as a married lady:)
Speaking of marriage...It was my (our) 2 year anniversary yesterday! 2 whole years we have been married and together for 5. WOW!! Where does the time go. I went to the mall after work hoping to find these jeans that the hubs has been wanting (he is pickier about clothes than me!). I was on the phone with my mom while I was getting out of the car and because it's habit, I locked the doors. Well, my keys were inside:( So, I had to wait around the mall for over 2 hours. Ps I don't like the mall haha! I bought Ryan some jeans (which I will be returning..told you he was picky lol!) ,picked up some bananas and raisins as I was out, then headed to Starbucks for tea. It actually was nice and relaxing plus I got to talk to Annette as she had called to wish us a happy anniversary. She is so awesome! After Ryan came and bailed me out, we went for din din and then I grabbed a rice milk ice cream on the way home (Ry got DQ). Dinner was ok but I wasn't too impressed by my pasta dish. I'm thinking I'm going to cook up a big meal this weekend to celebrate again because a Monday celebration isn't the same as a Saturday one (on a long weekend:).
I thought today I would share with you some photos of our wedding and such! Hope you don't mind:) I LOVE our photos as they capture who we are completely! My beautiful friend Erica did our photos and I'm so glad she did!



The vows! We each wrote our own vows. I was BLOWN away by Ryan's vows..so amazing!




My beautiful flowers that my bestie made! She is so talented:)

Yes, it takes this many ladies to do up a dress..the next picture will tell you why!

I really wanted a lace-up back...and I sure got it:)
tie lesson!

This is "the truck"- Ryan's first love lol!


One of my favorite pictures!



These handsome guys are my second cousins and they did a fantastic job greeting everyone walking into the garden!


Another second cousin! This little cutie was my ring bearer. I think it's so awesome that we used a piece of wood to hold our rings because it's a very profound piece of of our lives.

Did I tell you I was a crier?

My grandma and my mom:)




The rings!


The Kiss!





The hubby's family

My family!







This was right before we were to enter for dinner! Nearly forgot to take photos with my mom!!

The lanterns the guys put up! The drapery that I found in a thrift shop!

The yummy cake!
The first dance! I was telling Ry to move around the dance floor but I should have just let it be because now I only remember bossing him around lol!

What an amazing two years! Albeit with many bumbs along the way, yet I wouldn't have it any other way!

Here's to never stopping to dream! Love ya babe!

Almost wordless weekend!


Happy Monday Everyone!


Is it just me, or has August flown by with lightening speed? Say it ain' t so!! I want to be 8 years old again playing in the sprinkle for the 31 days of August!! But now I'm playing in another fun place...the kitchen:) I have many cool things to share with you that I have been busy working at but today I'm going to share with you my weekend. I went to another wedding but this one was extra special! When I was 8 years old my mom thought I needed to stop taking on adult worries and experience some new things. So, she placed me in the Big Brothers Big Sister's program and I was fitted with my "big sister" Annette! We had a wonderful time together. She lives on a ranch so we would go horse back riding or just hang out. I loved it there! I also got to experience a lot of things that otherwise my mom wouldn't have been able to take me too including a trip to Disneyland and a trip to London, England (my graduation gift!). I was also immediately welcomed by her family and and created many friends. And now, 18 years later she has found new love and Ryan and I were very honored to be a guest at her and Max's wedding. She went through a very terrible time with her ex-husband for many years and I saw it wear on her incredibly. I'm so happy that she has found this new love who is quite incredible, by the way! We joined them at this stunning hotel that was built in 1908 called Quilchena, just outside of Merritt, BC. Ryan and I haven't ventured to much in that area so it fun to check out something new. We had such a wonderful time reminiscing with old and new friends alike. There were people there from Singapore, Panama, Columbia, Taiwan, and everywhere in between. Very fun group! So, without further ado..here's the "almost wordless" weekend! NOTE-there is no food in the upcoming picts..just so know..this is one of those LIFE posts:) Hope you enjoy!

























There was a movie being filmed in the area and the main actress (left) needed a double because she couldn't ride very well. So, the owner of the hotel's daughter stepped in! Love this picture!


We found the beer fridge!! LOL








Isn't the hotel just so awesome!


Beautiful Nicola Valley


Our favours were dream-catchers! How awesome is that!

The old-school cash register behind the bar!

The golf course next door - Ry was itching to play!











Flower power!

So there you have it folks..my weekend with pure history! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and got to enjoy the last bit of summer:)

Coming up this week I'm going to share with you all my kitchen nightmares...I mean dreams:)
