Happy Birthday Matt!!!

That's right! Friday, May 5th is not only Mexico's national holiday, but it is also Matt's 28th birthday! I thought I would take this opportunity to throw a party in Matt's honour, so we are having some friends and family over for dinner and drinks. He has received a few early birthday presents, including cash from my parents (thanks guys!) and I bought him the Calgary Flames jersey that he's always wanted. We are having people over for a bbq and drinks, good times and lots of laughs. We have spent this week getting ready after work (between Flames games, of course!), and hopefully everything will turn out well.

Saturday night is Caroline's shower. It is being held at a friend of Caroline's house, and it should be a fun time. Matt's mom and sister will also be in attendance, and it will be nice to see them again. I think we are almost ready for the wedding. Matt and I went shopping last weekend and got him a new shirt and tie that is similar to Mike's and I got a new dress. We'll be looking good!

The most exciting news that we have had in the last few weeks comes out of Nipawin. Devin and Angie are having a baby! We are very happy for them, and very excited to become Auntie Jenn and Uncle Matt to another niece or nephew. They are about 3 months along, with the baby due at the end of November. We are so happy for them, and wish that we could be there more often to see them.

Things for the wedding are shaping up well, and we are almost ready to book. There are a few details with the travel agency that we are trying to iron out, and when those are taken care of, we can go ahead and start putting deposits down! We still need to choose the invitations, which got pushed back due to the party. That will definately be a priority for later in the weekend.

Hope this finds everyone well, and we'll see you soon!
