Sick..and love my new family!!!

I have been sooooo sick this past week!! Its not fun at all!! Norm has a bad cold, so of course I caught that. And as if that wasnt bad enough, I got the stomach flu on top of that!(no, im not prego!! haha) Today is the first day I've been outta bed really. Its been so gross!! haha But I have to say that I love my husband sooooooooooo much for taking care of me!! And my mother in law!! You know how when you're sick you just want your mom? Well thats how i've been the past week, and as great as Norm is, its just not the same..haha. Well yesterday, my sister in law was comming down to do some paperwork for a house she was gonna buy. And my mother in law came with her, and get this! She's crazy!! She just went to town cleaning my house!! She did like 4 loads of laundry, and all the dishes, and cleaned all the floors, and the bathroom. She said not to get used to it cause it only happens once in a while, but she's amazing!!! She even brought me soup!! I'd have to say that was the next best thing to having my own mom here!!

So..in other news...Norm quit his job yesterday! haha As much as we're starting to freak out a bit, with neither of us being employeed, it was for the best! The company he was working for wasnt good. The other week he showed up at work at 6am like always, and the bosses werent there. So him and the other guys waited around till they showed up at 8am! And then the guys said they werent gonna pay them for those 2 hours they were working, and that they should have came and woken them up! And then yesterday, they said they were gonna decrease everyones wages by $3! Im pretty sure by law they cant just do that, but Norm had enough and quit on the spot. I guess 5 or 6 other guys quit too, so thats good..haha. He's out looking right now though for a new one..I dont think he'll have a problem.

As long as he gets a job..we're going to Utah in less than a week! I cant wait!!! I've never been, and i'll get to see Reta again!! yay!! We're going for a mission rehunion and confrence! Soooooo excited!!

I should get going..I think im gonna go rake some leaves before Norm gets home. And before it snows, they're calling for 5 to 10cms tonight!! I miss Nova Scotia falls!! haha

Im Married!!!

Well its official...im now Mrs. Nelson. How weird is that?? I've been married for about 2 and 1/2 weeks now..and I have to say that im enjoying it!! haha

Everything about our wedding was perfect:) even the weather!!

We went down to Cardston the night before our wedding, and stayed in a hotel there. And it was POURING rain!! There was even thunder and lightning!! I was so freaking out! I just wanted it to be sunny for our big day! Thankfully it was nice and sunny by 6am!

I was up bright and early! My sister in law did my hair, and it looked even more perfect then our run throughs! If you know anything about my family its that we're always late! Especially my mom!! hahah. So why should we be on time for my own wedding?!!! haha. We were suposed to be at the temple at 9am...and well we got there at about 9:20! haha.Poor Norm..the temple workers kept asking him are you sure she's coming? And was like yea, she's an Ehler, they're always late! haha.

Our ceremony was perfect! It was such an amazing experiance! I held it together! and didnt ruin my makeup! haha

We had a lunchin in Cardston right after pics at the temple. It was way nice! Our mothers gave toasts to us there, which were way good. I wasnt as good at holding it together when my mom gave hers! haha. After Cardston we had a nice long drive back to Calgary. It was so nice driving back with my husband! I just kept calling him my husband, and he kept calling me his wife, just so it would sink in.

When we got back to his parents place, I totally crashed on the couch, in my wedding dress! haha. It was a well needed nap though, and im so glad I took it. I had to have my hair fixed up afterwards, but it was worth it! haha.

The reception in Calgary was very nice! I hadnt seen it beforehand. My mother in law made all the decorating decisions, and she did a very good job! We had a reciving line there though, and argh! haha. My face hurt afterwards! I can only smile for so long! We were standing there for an hour and 1/2! haha

The rest of the reception was great though!!! We had some great toasts by our best friends and dads! Norms sister sang, which was amazing! She's so good! And then we had our first dance to "for you" by duncan sheik..I think thats how you spell it. Its a way nice song! Norm played and sang it to me in the car one night before he told me that he didnt want to date anyone else.

For our wedding night we just came home to our house, so that was nice.

We did a gift opening the next day at his parents place. We got soooooo much stuff!! 4 crock pots, and 3 toaster ovens..haha.

So then we went back to Nova Scotia for our "honeymoon" and reception there. We stayed in a nice cottage on the water. It was perfect! So nice to wake up every morning and see the water!

We did all the toristy stuff like peggys cove, and the waterfront, and the citidal. It was really nice to have Norm back where Im from. He loved it!! And if things work out, we could be back there in a year! So we'll see:)

I really enjoyed my reception there!!! It was so nice to have all my friends and family there! Whereas here I didnt know over 1/2 the people there! We had our reception at the St. Marys Boat club. It was perfect weather for that too! We had a great photographer. I cant wait to get my pics back from him!! Nathan brought doves for us to release, which was way nice!!

For our first dance in NS my cousins played violin and guitar..which was awesome!!

It was so sad leaving to come back here! Im being a stay at home wife right now while I wait for my criminal record thing to clear. I've applied to be a TA at the elementary school, and if that doesnt work out, Im gonna work at the daycare.

Its totally snowing here right now! Thats so not cool!! I should go clean the kitchen..and get lunch ready for my husband!
