Honeymoon!!!
Yay! We leave tomorrow, bright and early at 3:30am. Our flight isn't till 7am but that's what sucks about living in Canmore (the only thing btw) you have to drive an hour to get to the airport and then be there 2hrs before your flight.....it's going to be an early morning. I wanted to stay overnight in Calgary tonight but Travis wants to drive so I guess we're driving.
This morning is the pancake breakfast at the firehall to kick off Fire Prevention Week. Travis left at 7am and I should be showering and going down there myself so off I go.......

*Sigh*
I love my life. I feel like I've finally found who I am and what I'm destined for and where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. I'm living my destiny, right now, in this moment, this is what I'm supposed to be doing. I've never been happier or more content. Everything in my life has brought me to this moment, to being a wife, to being me.
If I spent everyday doing what I've been doing the last two days I'd be happy for the rest of my life. Yesterday I cleaned the house a bit, did 5 loads of laundry, cooked dinner, Travis and I hung some pictures in our living room and I re-arranged all the roses I have scattered around my house from the wedding. Today I went to Calgary to pick up some stuff from our registry at the Bay. We are able to add stuff until our one year anniversary and anything we buy off the registry is discounted. I bought a ton of stuff today and was expecting a huge bill but nope, not for me! I was shocked at how little I spent for the amount of stuff I got. We completed our bedroom linens with a new duvet, duvet cover, bedskirt and another set of sheets and I bought a few things for the kitchen. Then I came home and cooked dinner and Travis went to fire practice. I'm cooking turkey dinner tomorrow for my in-laws (that still sounds weird), Travis's grandpa and Jenn so I went to the store to pick up a few final things. I came home and made the cranberry sauce, from scratch! I've never done that before and I don't like cranberries so I have no idea if it's going to be good or not but it sure smelled good. Then I made a few dozen chocolate chip cookies cause I was stupid and told my husband, before we were married, that I'd make him cookies whenever he wanted. I'm going to pay for that one. I mixed up some buttermilk pancake batter and it's sitting in the fridge with some raspberries as a special treat for Travis before he goes to work. It will be an extra special treat if I manage to get out of bed to cook them for him ;0) just kidding, of course I will. So I did all my prep work and pre-cooking I can for dinner tomorrow, I organized my recipes and figured out when things need to go in the oven and when they should be done (we watch a lot of the Food Network on TV), so I should be set for my first big dinner as a wife. I'll be sure to take pictures and post them tomorrow...if it's a success.
Yay, my husband is home.

I now pronounce you....
husband and wife! Yay! It's all over and we're married and the day was even more perfect than we could have ever imagined.
The whole week was great. We got to spend some time with my family and our families got to meet and get to know eachother. Everyone arrived on Wednesday and we had a huge family dinner at Susan's restaurant, Caramba, in Banff. On Thursday the girls all went for pedicures in the morning and the boys went to Calgary to pick up their tux's. Then Thursday afternoon Travis took all the kids to the firehall to see the trucks. That was probably one of the highlights of the entire week. Sophie is a firefighter in the making.
Thursday evening Travis's parents hosted a BBQ for all the family. It was great that everyone had a chance to meet before the wedding. Friday was a busy day of final preparations. We were all at Sue's bright and early doing all the centerpieces and flower arrangements. It took a little while to get them perfect but once we had one under our belts we went into prodcution mode and they were done. Everything for the reception was transported to the golf club while Sue, Niki and I checked into our hotel.
Friday afternoon we had a small rehearsal of how the ceremony would happen and then we took off for dinner at the Crazyweed. Then Travis and I parted ways. He went to Todd and Jenn's for the night and I went to the hotel with the girls.
The morning of the wedding I was up bright and early at 4:30am. And guess what I saw when I looked outside??? SNOW!! The first snowfall of the year to hit the ground in Canmore. Unbelievable.
However, as I have learned, when it comes to weddings, things always have a way of working themselves out and the snow was probably one of the best things that happened that day. Our pictures are going to look amazing.
I spent the morning of the wedding getting my hair done and hanging out in the hotel room with my girls, my mom, dad and grandma. It was the perfect way to spend the morning. My knees didn't start shaking till Dad and I were standing at the end of the aisle waiting for the music to start. Our ceremony was perfect and then we were married! We made our grand exit, went to get pictures taken then the reception was underway. I don't have any pictures of the ceremony or reception yet so check back in a week or so. I'll post them after the honeymoon.
Travis has gone back to work today and I'm home all week playing house wife. I think my first task will be organizing our gifts and getting our house back in order. Then we leave for sunny Mexico on Sunday!!!
