Another Easter has Come and Gone

Matt and I found our way to Saskatoon for Easter weekend. We left Thursday after work, and it was a very long drive. We took both cars, as Shane was buying my car and we needed a way to get home! We got to Mom and Dad's house around midnight, and enjoyed a few beverages with them before calling it a night. Devin and Angie arrived on Friday afternoon, and the guys decided they needed to go to a driving range before the big game on Saturday. Shane was in the middle of finals, so he decided to head to the university to get some studying done. Mom, Angie and I went shopping to get some much needed supplies for their new puppy, Nala. Everyone met at Winston's Pub for a few drinks and appetizers before heading home for dinner with Grandma and Grandpa. Saturday was more fun than I had expected. Angie and I had decided that we were going wedding dress shopping when we were both in Saskatoon. So we sent the guys to the golf course and went shopping with our moms. I had a great time! It was really nice to share that experience with my mom and my sister-in-law to be! Both Angie and I found the dresses we're going to wear (I think!!) but neither of us actually purchased a dress. Almost everything has to be ordered in, taking 4 to 6 months, and then another 2 months for alterations, so we don't have alot of time! Saturday nigth we played cards for a while, and then went to the Casino. Matt and I walked in with $40 and walked out an hour later with $35...not bad! Sunday we had a nice breakfast and then hit the road. We had a long, boring drive ahead of us and we wanted to beat the traffic. Going home is so nice, I truely miss my family and I wish that I could see them more often. It was so much fun spending time with them, hopefully mom and dad will be coming out for the weekend in June for Matt's graduation and their anniversary.

Unfortunately, after shopping for a wedding dress, I have had this wedding on the brain. I am slowing coming to the realization that I have alot of things to do if I want a stress-free wedding. Matt is very receptive of everything that I have done, but just goes with the flow...doesn't have too much of an opinion regarding the details. I have put him in charge of the music and his outfit, and once we get the dates of the flights and pricing released from the airline, we are going to have alot of work to do. I am anxious to get everyone booked, the ceremony booked, and some of the other details with the wedding planner taken care of. Then I think I'll be able to relax...

Matt is busy studying this week for his finals, as well as trying to get his final assignments completed. This is his final year at Mount Royal before moving over to the University of Calgary to finish his last year of the program. The university has changed quite a few things regarding the application requirements for the medical program, which is great for us. Things seem to be falling into place.

Hope this finds everyone doing well, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
