March already???

I can't believe how quickly time has been going by lately. I have been busy trying to get organized since our return from Mexico, including making a photo album with some of our photos from the trip. We have decided to use one shot for our wedding invitations and save the date cards, which has also been keeping me very busy. I have suddenly realized in the wake of Mike and Caroline's upcoming wedding that I have alot of planning to do, none of which has been started. Since the decision to get married in Mexico was made, nothing more has been done. I guess if I want a stress free wedding, I should get some of the bigger details ironed out as soon as possible.

Matt and I went out to Cochrane for a fantasic meal (as always...) and a visit with his family the weekend after we returned from Cancun. Kristin, Tony, Simon and Jonah are finally back from Australia, and it was great to finally have Matt's entire family together under the same roof. The boys are such fun, and just a bundle of energy at this age...I don't know how Kristin keeps up with them day after day! Matt and I are going to have the opportunity to take care of the boys for a few days while Tony and Kristin celebrate their anniversary in their honeymoon destination...Cancun! I am so excited to have them to ourselves for a few days.

My friend Amanda came back to town again last week for more job interviews, and she got a position! She's been hired by a law firm about three blocks away from my work, and I can only think of one thing...lunch date! She is officially moving back to Calgary, even if it's just for a few months. We're very excited to have her back. Hopefully she finds out about her acceptance to the University of Calgary soon so that she can get settled in.

This weekend finds all of the Husband boys driving to Kicking Horse for Michael's stag. Everyone is heading up Friday afternoon for some snowboarding, poker, and any other trouble they can get their hands on! They have rented a cabin on the mountain, and all of Mike's friends will be there. Friday night they will be celebrating St. Patrick's day with a night on the town, followed by a day of snowboarding and a Texas Hold 'Em Poker tournament Saturday. I'm sure Matt will be very tired when they finally get home Sunday night. Next weekend is Caroline's stagette and a few of the girls will be going out to Banff to celebrate. We will be spending Saturday in the Spa and going out for martini's that evening. We got some great rates at a hotel out there, and it will be nice to meet some of Caroline's friends before the big day.

It looks like Matt and I will be packing up and heading to Saskatchewan for Easter. I am very excited to see my family again, as Matt and I haven't seen my mom and dad since Christmas Day. Mom wants to take care of some of the wedding details that weekend, and I'm quite sure that the guys will be able to entertain themselves in our absence. Devin and Angie will also be in Saskatoon that weekend, which sounds like a great time. I think it will be fun going to bridal shops with another bride-to-be! This is the kind of shopping that you only do once in your lifetime...

Hopefully this finds everyone doing well, and we hope to see you soon!
