I am such a lazy blogger, and to those who read my ramblings I apologize. Things have been a little crazy since the wedding became only 4 months away. SO much has happened and gone on. My lifestyle has changed, and some life decisions have been made. I am so excited for the wedding and what is to come after. In the past month I was given a bachelorette party, so I will have to get the disc from my sister so that I can post some pictures on here for people to see. So don't give up on me yet, I have stories to tell. I just need a moment of quite with a BIG cup of coffee and give'er.
Till then.....

A great weekend!!
How great of a feeling is it when you have such a great weekend. Unfortunately Cam and I spent a lot of money over the course of three days, but in the end it was all worth it. Our weekend started with a few drinks with some friends of ours out at West Edmonton Mall. Pretty relaxing environment and good company always makes for a good evening.
Saturday we woke up early because we knew we had a lot of things that we wanted to accomplish throughout the day. First we went to Sears to do up a little gift registry for the wedding. I mostly did it for my shower because people have been asking my mom where we were registered for gifts, and the truth is, is that I don't want gifts I rather have gift cards from places like Sears, or Home Depot because we have everything that we need really, but there are a few costly items that we want. Oh well, so after being harassed by my mom for a while I decided to do it. It wasn't as painful as Cam and I thought it was going to be. Which is good. After we completed that task we were off to get some stuff for me for my new bike. I needed a helmet, but I ended up getting a camelback as well. Cam also needed a new bike pump for at home. So after that we went to go and get Charlie and oil change, which ended up taking longer than anticipated only because we had the fuel filter changed as well. SO he is a very happy little car!! Once we were finished with Mr. Lube we went over the Independent Jewelers to pick out our wedding bands. I won't divulge what the bands look like only because it will be a surprise to those at the wedding ;o) They also polished up my engagement ring, so it sparkles again!! We then went home and had some lunch then we were off to pick up my new bike. Once we got to my cousins house we sat out on the beach and visited for a little bit, then it was on our way home to take our dog out for a walk. On our way back from our walk we ran into a very nice elder man. I didn't realize how long we were there talking to him. But I felt good after we left because he lives by himself with his dog, so I am sure the human interaction he received from Cam and myself made his night :o) Once we got home we were both bagged so it was pretty much chill and watch tv then off to bed.
Sunday started just as early as Saturday because I wanted to get to Costco before the craziness started that usually transpires on a Sunday morning there. Once we finished there we went to Save on Foods to finish up the rest of our shopping, we then donated $20.00 to the Breast Cancer Foundation and we got two hotdogs, and 2 pops in exchange. Not to bad of a deal if you ask me ;o) Anyways so once we completed that we went home and unloaded groceries and then got our stuff together and went out for a 1.5 hour bike ride. My butt sure is sore today from it, but it was worth it. Cam and I rode around and we chatted about some big life changes that are going to be going on with us soon enough. Once we got home we packed up our stuff for supper and headed over to my sisters and Ryans place for a bbq. It was a perfect way and supper to end our fantastic weekend.
I am looking forward to many more weekends full of events that Cam and I get to do together. This will be our first summer together full time. He is usually out fighting fires by now. At first I worried that I would get sick of him being around, only because I am so accustom to him being gone and having to do things by myself, but after this weekend I am very excited to see what will happen this summer.

4 Months
I only have 4 months to continue to pull off this wedding. Most of the work is done, just the little details left. Still no high stress is coming my way. I get to wear my dress today, because I am going to go and get it altered. I am so excited to get to put the dress on again! It is so beautiful and I wish I could wear it all the time. It might be harder to part with it after the wedding than I would expect. My bachelorette party is quickly coming up, then soon after that the wedding shower. I am so excited I just don't know what I am going to wear yet. I have ideas though :o) I just got back this past weekend from Nelson. It was so much fun to go home for the weekend. I brought along a friend from work with me. So we made it into a girls road trip. The roads were a little scary going from Red Deer into Calgary, but after that it was smooth sailing. Made back some good time ;o) The way home was great, except I had only had one hour sleep the night before, and Meghann only had 1.5........ so needless to say we were both in need of some rest, but we made it back safe and sound.
My mother comes up to Edmonton for a visit in a few weeks here. I will have to put her to work to do a bunch of wedding stuff while I am at work. Keep her occupied. I don't really have much else to report. My life right now is pretty plain. Cam starts his new job on Monday so that is really good. He won't be as pouty anymore about being bored with school. He will actually be out in the field working and making some money. Then soon after that we will be looking into buying a house. I can't wait to buy a house and make it ours. Hopefully we can find something that will have a back yard for our little pugorita!
I apologize to those who read my blog often, I have been lazy on posting things that have been going on. I guess I will have to take some time this weekend and catch you all up. Till then back to work I go :o)

Every Morning
Good Morning,
Every morning (during the weekdays) I ride the bus to work. I take the same bus almost every day. The number 3. If I am lucky Cam will take the bus with me half way. I see the same people almost everyday. I call them the regulars. There is a lady who sits in her designated seat and keeps her bag beside her so no one can sit there till one of her fellow bus mates gets on later on down the road. Then there is this other man who sits right up front so that he can talk to the bus driver about who knows what. It is painful to listen to this man some mornings, thank goodness for my nano. There are many other people who are regulars as well. This morning was a heart warming moment for me on the bus. There is this man who takes the bus every morning to work I would assume. He isn't a business man or anything like that I think he is more a labourer, lower income kind of individual who may be in his 50s. A very nice man from what I have gathered from taking the bus with him for months. He waves and says hi to all the kids on the bus and chats with different people all the time. There is a mother who rides the bus most mornings with her baby in a stroller, and her daughter can walk on her own. When they get to their stop the bus driver gets out and helps this lady with the stroller down the steps. Then the mother comes back to the bus and grabbes the little girl from the bus, and as she swings her from the bus the little girl says "weeeeeeeee!!!!" it is very cute. This is a morning ritual for them and it usually puts a smile on most peoples faces. This morning he got on the bus, and sat beside the mother. As the mother and the little girl, and baby were getting off the bus the girl paused and gave this man a huge hug :o) This was such a precious thing to see seen as it is Friday the 13th and all. I am having a great day because of them. It always amazes me how non prejudice young children can be.

Proud Mommy
I am such a proud mommy this past weekend. I have the best pug in the world!!!! Friday afternoon I decided that my dog looked a little scruffy. It looks like spring is in the air because she is losing her winter coat. So she just sat down and let me brush her for a good hour. Usually this is quite that task when it comes to her. She doesn't like brushings very much, but she just took it in and enjoyed eveyr minute of it. Or so it seemed that way. She wasn't too egar to get away from us. Then on Saturday Cam and I decided that it was such a nice weekend here in Edmonton that we should seize the day and take our dog out for a walk. We had to go to the store to pick some stuff up anyways, so put on her leash and off we went. She walked right beside Cam and me the whole way. She wasn't tugging on her leash or wandering all over the place. However, there were many puddles that were around so we had to dodge over those somehow so then she would do what she had to do to get past them. She would love the shallow ones. She could get a drink from them and walk right through them. As soon as the puddle would get to deep for the monkey she would jump out and go to the next puddle to see what that one had in store for her. She loves puddles, who knew? She got to meet a puggle (beagle pug cross) he was only 7 weeks old. Very very cute. By the time we got home I thought I owned a black pug. She was DIRTY. So we had to carry her right to the bathtub for a bath. Bath's usually aren't her favorite, but for whatever reason this time she just stood there and let dad scrub her down. I was so proud at how well behaved she was. She got an extra treat for the day. Again..... I LOVE my pug :o)March Madness
The month of March has been complete madness for me. I have been so involved in my surroundings that I haven't had any me time to work on my blog. We have been busy entertaining guest at our house. After Cam's sister Jenn left we took a week off and just relaxed and enjoyed a little down time before the madness of March began.
The beginning of March my best friend came up for a visit. Nikita was here for a long weekend. It was so much fun. I realized how much I have really missed her. When we were going to school in Cranbrook we were basically together 24/7 especially after Cam mov
ed out to work in Alberta. It was great we had a fantastic living arrangement and understanding. While she was here visiting she was offered a job to fill in for maternity leave for a year at my office. I think after careful consideration she wasn't too interested as she had other obligations in Nelson. We then found out that one of our employee's was leaving us, therefore a full time position opened up. So again I offered it to her, because I thought how great will it be to work with my best friend in an office full of my other new friends. So hopefully she can come for that job, but if not then maybe another time.... I am in Edmonton for a while.
This upcoming weekend is one that I am most looking forward to. All of my bridesmaids are going to be here under one roof, yes poor Cam and Ryan. We will have a weekend full of laughs, good times, and maybe the occasional tear. I will be busy this week arranging for things for us all to do. My best friend Nicole is coming from Kelowna, it has been about 1.5 years since I have seen her. My cousin that I grew up with like a sister, Brynn is coming from Montreal, and I haven't seen her in 2+ years. I live with my sister, and see my other cousin Amber frequently. I don't really have many words to describ how excited I am for everything. It seems as the day is approaching I get more and more excited, and fall more and more in love with Cam.

It's Here!!!
It is in and it is gorgeous :o)
My DRESS IS HERE!!! I am so excited. I came home from work on friday afteroon kinda bummed. I went out shopping with a couple of girls from work and we went to LuLuLemon to buy some new pants. I was really excited about this. I really wanted a new pair. I don't know how, I can't really explain it, but something came over me telling me not to buy anything today. Think it over, don't be impulsive as I usully am. So I watched these two girls buy whole outfits at LuLu and I didn't buy a thing. I was a little bummed.
So here I was sitting on my couch listening to Cam and his buddy Carl exchange stories about what has been going on in their lives. Then all of assuden Cam turned to me and said, 'oh, by the way some lady called today and said your dress was in.' He then turned back to his conversation. I quickly took one look at my sister and we both got VERY excited about this news. At that point we both cleared our plans for the night and we were off to pick up this dress that we have been anticipating the arrival of. So we kinda made a night out of it. We went out to West Ed Mall, and then tried it on and 'ewwd and awwwd' the dress and then I paid for it and we went for supper to Cheesecake Cafe. It was an excellent night. One of the best Friday nights I have had in a week ;o)
I had the pleasure of trying on my dress this morning after my shower to see how my veil looked with the dress. Perfect! So now all I have to do is get it hemmed. That is it. This dress fits me as if it was made specifically for me. I need no other alterations other than the hem. I am so happy right now. I would post a picture of it, but then that would ruin the surprise.
Mawhahahaha
