Bad Blake

This is the best movie I've seen in a long time.

I even stayed up until ONE THIRTY Friday night watching it. Maybe that doesn't impress any of you, but it sure impressed me. I don't remember the last time I did anything past 10:00 without falling asleep. I try to tell myself that it is a blessing that I can sleep so well at night and take nice long naps, but truthfully, it is a curse. This is one of the first movies I've watched with Al where I actually stayed awake the whole time. He was quite happy with me....well, at least, I'm assuming he was.

Anways, great movie. If I had the time, I'd watch it every day.

Honeymoons and Will Forte

I loved our honeymoon.

It was in my favorite place with my favorite boy.

Wish we were still there.

I also love Will Forte.

We have watched this about 20 times today.

The Sunday following our wedding, me and Al both pathetically admitted that we were a little sad we

missed SNL the night before. But vowed (we were on a roll that weekend) to watch it the next Saturday

together in our own house.....so the next Saturday rolled around and YES, we had 90 channels of cable

set up with Shaw! But no TV. F'in S. After quickly stealing Alan's parent's just in time for last Saturday, it

was a bloody rerun! Good thing there is only two more sleeps 'til THIS Saturday.

Great. :)

So I Fell in Love, and Then I Got Married

1 Week Anniversary

I wished Al a happy one week anniversary today and his reply was. "That makes no sense. Anni comes from the word 'annual' which means 'year'". He is suuper sentimental.

Oh ya, BTW...we got married last week.

The best day of my life.

And this has been the best week of my life.

I'm going to post some more pictures later, but for now...I shall retire to bed with my husband. Goodnight.

:)

Four Days To Go

Only four days until I become a Mrs. 

Holy granola. 

Nuts, eh? I'm going to be all grown up and on my way to success with a wonderful husband at my side! I have to say, I can't quite wrap my head around this. I just can't seem to grasp the idea that this Saturday is the most important day of my life. I'm never very good at wrapping my head around things though. For example, Jennie being pregnant. I don't think I ever really believed it until I was holding that sweet little baby girl in my arms (who is the cutest thing alive and named Ashley Beth). Jennie never really grasped it either though, so I don't feel too terrible about myself. This one day when we were shopping in Calgary, it was funny... me and Jen and my mom were walking around Baby Gap lookin at baby clothes. One of the workers came up to Jen and her biiiig belly and was like "doin' a little preshoppin' eh?". Jen was like.....(weird look)..."preshopping for what?". This "not grasping" downfall runs in the family. 

AAAAAAnyways, I'm just soakin up the home cooked meals and the promiscuous single life this week . I am sure going to miss Dix's food. I am not going to miss saying goodbye to Al at the end of the night though, that's for shizzle....my nizzle. 

I don't think I have ever felt so many emotions at one time. It's bizarre....and exhilirating (two very strong emotions...see?). 

1. Excited. OBVY, this trumps the list. I'm excited to spend the rest of my life with the man of my dreams. I'm excited to wake up in the morning to his smile. I'm excited to wear my mom's wedding dress and to get dolled up and called pretty all day (hopefully). I'm excited to never be alone again. And to be frank, I'm excited for sex. 

2. Happy. Apart from the other emotions that I'm feeling from the usual stress that comes with weddings, I'm on cloud 9. Al is my dream boat. 

3. Nervous. I am freaking out that everything isn't going to get done on time and that nothing is going to work out despite all my hard work. I'm nervous it's going to blow 100 km winds and snow and rain like it did today. I'm nervous Alan will realize I'm insane and  hop on a Fed Ex truck and ride away. 

4. Sad. I'm sad to leave my mom. I oh so love my mom. 

5. Frustrated. WITH MAKING CRAFTS FOR THE GOSH DERN WEDDING. Flower after flower after flower I have folded and dyed and cut and glued. I've made a slide show. I've scrapbooked an entire guest book (with zilch scrapbooking skills). I've made 600 little party favors. I've made every possible thing I could out of doilies. 

6. Tired. Too tired actually to list all the other emotions. 

I toss and turn at night with anticipation. I repeat for the hundredth time on my blog that I am the happiest and the luckiest girl. 

Life is a peach. 

And my house is jam packed with peach decor. Hope you come enjoy the fesitivites this weekend :). 

As Of Late

Oh hi everyone.

I feel like I should just sit here and type for a while since I haven't been typing for doctors in what seems like forever. I went home sick on Thursday with a grumbly rumbly stomach and it has stretched on until today, making me call in sick 'the deuce'. I just have one thing to say about this:

Today, I love Greg Smith.

I should be up and running by tomorrow!

On the topic of wedding, things are going swimmingly. The invitations are done (five nine twenty thousand years later). Alan built me some peach backdrops. I finished scrapbooking the guest book today (two six eight hundred years later). And now I am just working on the slideshow, which is really fun. Breanne told me what song she is singing to us at our wedding and I am so excited about it I could die. She is the best MOH anyone has ever had. And looking at old pictures makes me realize how lucky I am to have such a wonderful friend. I love her.

Sorry to be all mushy gushy, but being engaged will do that to you.

Me and Al went and checked out our soon to be new digs on the weekend and it is perfect. Nothing could have worked out more perfectly. It is so spacious and has a dishwasher (yabadabadoo!). We even have our own fenced in backyard with a lawn. I don't even remember what it's like to have one of those!

Also, look what I got.

My grandma Heggie wanted to just get rid of it because it was in the way. Best unexpected surprise gift ever.

In terms of my marathon club, I have been a big poop ball. I missed the last big run from being sick and haven't been able to run since. I really hope I'm better by this weekend so I can catch up. But I made it on the wall of fame at Runner's Soul, so what else really matters? Right?

I really love my life and it is just fantastic to be in love with someone so ridiculously wonderful as Alan. I am surely getting the better end of the deal on this one.

Oh, and conference was great, even though I had to rewatch it today because the Gravol I took on Sunday knocked me out all day. S'all the same, right!?

So there's the update. I know how ridiculous exciting it was for everyone to read. I bet you'll read it ten more times just to try and relive the moment.

Blackjack Birthday

I turned 21 on the 21st this year. It was my GOLDEN day. I have always been a big fan of my birthday and always take advantage of the saying "because it's my birthday!" I use this saying in different ways throughout the week of my birthday using it alternatively like "because it is my birthday tomorrow!" or "because it was my birthday two days ago!"

Might as well, right?

So, I had a really nice birthday this year. It was on Sunday so I just went to church with Al and then hung out with him at my house all day. Jen and Chlo came over for dinner and we had cheesecake (:D). And my mom and Jen got me this bad A antique vanity. It is so fetch. I can hardly wait to put it in our little town house!

But my favorite, of course, was the surprise part (I really like surprises).

I got home from a bunch of wedding errand shopping on the 20th (the day before my birthday), and there was a trail of cute little purple flowers in white vases with arrows on them leading me to this -

Alan had filled my room with balloons and put the reasons "why he loves Tina" all over my wall on sticky notes. It was about the most adorable thing.

Aaaaand I love him back. So much, in fact, that I think I'll marry him.
