Weddings, Reunions summer 2008.....was a wild one.....

I have been a bad blogger....
But to be honest I have been insanely busy. So busy in fact that my house hardly got cleaned once over the summer.

May and June went by in a flash with report cards, packing up my classroom and moving it home...AGAIN....
Then off I went to Ste Annes for the 4th and I feel final summer. More on that later. Also in July, I had my ten year high school reunion, 2 weddings, a stagette for my friend Angela phewwwww it was a crazy one.
I returned home frome Ste Anne August 9th and got married two weeks later.
As I sit at my computer I wonder how i survived it all, really it was a crazy, busy, messed up summer....
I don't have a job for this school year and I am hoping something comes up during the year, but at this moment it's probably best I don't have one as I am mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted. I feel I could probably sleep for days!

Our wedding August 23rd was everything we had dreamed, wanted and wished for...it was just under 100 people.
We had our wedding at the Acadia Chapel. It was a fabulous service Nick's sister Nakita sang " Waste" by Phish which is a song I love. She and Fisher, Laura and Erin sang Lost in this moment by big and rich as well. It was great!
Our dog Cosmo was our ring bearer and Nick's cousin Kelsey was our flower girl. I had my best girl friends as my bridesmaids and Nick had his high school buddies as groomsmen..it was perfect. The reception went off without a hitch which is always a challenge when you have a tent wedding.
The band we had was wicked. They are called Hawco and we hired them after seeing them play at a Pub in Halifax.....I was stressed after hiring them because of their price.....but on the wedding night i realized that they totally made our wedding awesome....we partied until the wee hours of the morning....and it was amazing. Everythign about the day was perfect, from the tractor arch entering the tent, to my dress, to the band....it was great. I will write more on that soon !!


On a side note....we are very pleased to announce that Nick's Dad is in Full remission. His cancer is not detectable after having several scans. He will be carefully monitored and checked regularly but we feel a sense of relief for the time being!! He is essentially back to his old self...he doesn't have exactly the same energy that he once did......but that will come in time!!
We have a lot to be thankful for, 2008 started rocky.......but I think it's going to end on a good note!!

that's all for now...but I promise to be a better blogger now that life has slowed down a bit!
