Cant wait for 5:30!!!!!!

Can I just say that I am SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!
Im here at my parent in laws place for the after noon trying to kill time! My family flys in in less than 2 hours and I cant wait!!!! I've missed them sooooooo much!! Its all still so weird, I cant believe they get here today! And that I go through the temple tomorrow, and get married in 5 days!!! AHHHHHH!!! Its all too much to take in..haha

So I tried on my wedding dress the other day for the first time since I bought it...:s. I thought that with my crinoline and heals it wouldnt need to be hemmed..but its still an inch too long!! im totally freaking out and trying to find someone who can hem it for me in 5 days!! ahhhhhh!!! Other then that most of the wedding stuff is all set. I had my 2nd trial run with my hair today, I love it! My sister in law is amazing!!! Im so happy with it!!!

Im not good at this blog thing right now...








I cant believe I let it go so long without writing an entry. I keep meaning to, then get side tracked with wedding stuff!

So I quit my job today!! haha. I'd had enough. I did enjoy it for the first little bit, but can I just say, some people are gross! You wouldn't believe the kinda stuff I had to deal with cleaning room..its was just gross!! I also had to clean the bar bathrooms last week, and that was disgusting!!! There was dried up puke on the floor that I had to soak then clean..blah! So even though I really liked the girls I worked with, it felt good to walk in there and quit! haha My sister in law is opening a restaurant just a block away from me, so im working there now full time as a waitress. I think i'll like it a lot better!!

Im getting soooooooooo excited!!! My family gets here in like 5 days!!! I havent seen them for 4 months! And I cant wait!!! Norm keeps saying that im more excited to see them then get married, and I have to admit that right now, yea I am! haha

All the wedding stuff is pretty much done now. Im just working on my flowers, the sideshow, and music right now. The easy stuff:) I cant believe our big day is getting sooooooo close! It doesn't really seem real yet!!

So Norm and I have a new little niece!! She is sooooooooooooo cute!! and tiny!! Kinda makes me want one, but not really.haha. I can wait a while:)

Norm got his firefighters uniform tonight, he looks way hot in it! haha There's just something about a boy in uniform! haha.

I should get to bed...im not used to working early anymore, and I have to be up early tomorrow! I'll try to update more often!!

Sick of invitations!!!







I need to take a break from doing wedding invitations before I go crazy!! haha So I thought i'd update a bit!!

Things are going good here. I have a job now. Im working at the Vulcan Country Inn as a waitress and housekeeper. Im really enjoying it!! I havent been working a lot of hours this week cause we're not fully booked. But its a good thing, cause it gives me time to get all this wedding stuff done.

Norm is living in town now!!! He's pretty much here all the time except at night, when he sleeps at his aunts. He started his new job on Monday too. He's loving it! He works 6:30 till 5:30 everyday. He's been framing a house this week, so is outside all day. I have to admit that im kinda jealous of the hot tan he's getting. I might have to go do some tanning before the wedding! haha. I cant believe that we're getting married a month from today!! Time is going soooooo fast!! I cant wait!!


Last weekend was a lot of fun!! We all just relaxed a lot. Went swimming in the pool..and had a few bbqs and bonfires. I'll upload some pics of it! I love that even though i've only known Norms family for like 3 months that I already feel super comfortable with them. Its like i've known them my whole life. It was nice having my house full of people!! Omg, guess what?! Norms sister and husband brought us out our wedding gift last weekend too!!! They had told us before that they bought us an air conditioner...so we were sooooo excited about that, since its been sooooo hot here!! And so when they showed up, they had not only gotten us that, but they got us a huge BBQ, and patio set as well!! We were in total shock! and so grateful!! Our backyard is so cute now! and our house is nice and cool! Its awesome!!!


So Norms letting me take his car, (which is totally his baby) into Calgary by myself today!! AHHH! haha. I have a few errands to get done, and them in picking Lydia up at the airport! She's comming to stay with me for a few days before she goes to EFY. Im excited!!! I've been missing NS a lot this week! So it'll be nice to see someone from there!!

I should go finish these invitations, and clean the house, and make supper for when my boy gets home..haha

yay for ward potlucks.


Today was pretty uneventful...I still don't have a job. I dropped off a few resumes yesterday, but no ones called me yet. I've just been working today on the house. I built a bookshelf today! and started to organize all Norms books.

I went to a ward potluck last night. It was my first time visiting the ward. The church we're going to is about 20 mins away in a small town called Champion. I think im gonna like it there. The ward reminds me a lot of back home. Everyone knows everyone, and they're really friendly. I found when I was in Calgary no one really made an effort to get to know you. I think that if I wasn't dating Norm I probably wouldn't have liked it. There arent many young people in our ward though..haha. Kinda like this town though! There are a few younger couples in their 30's with kids, and then the rest are over 60! I love old people though, so it will be okay..haha My future Aunt in law got up and announced that im moving into the ward. I hate being the center of attention at new places..haha..or in general really..haha I donno how im gonna make it through our wedding day..hahaha.

I cant wait till this weekend!! My sister in law, and her husband and daughter are coming to stay with me!! We're gonna go to the lake, and just do some outdoor stuff. We have a fire pit in our backyard, so we'll have some bonfires. Im just excited to share my house with someone! I also cant wait for Norm to move here! I miss him sooooooo much!!! Its crazy! I didnt think I would miss him this much. I love how no matter what he can make me laugh. I was upset the other night about just being out here by myself, and missing home, and well I started crying. And he gave me a wet willie with my tears to make me laugh, who does that?!! haha. I cant wait to spend eternity with him!!! Only 38 days to go!!

Im looking for a good professional wedding photographer in Halifax for when I go back there, if anyone has any suggestions!!

Im off to bed. Its crazy how much sleep I get out here! Its just cause there's nothing else to do..haha.

All moved in!






Its been a while since I last wrote. And its honestly just cause i've been so crazy busy!!

Im all moved into our new house now...it's crazy!! I never ever expected to be living in my OWN house within 3 months of moving here! Its all kinda surreal still..haha. I cant wait till I get married though, it still creeps me out sleeping here alone at night. Im a big baby..haha. Norm is still working in Calgary right now, so that sucks. He's moving out here on the weekend though, and is going to stay with relatives till we get married. He got a good job out here, and starts on Monday. I love how things with work have just been working out. This week will be the longest i've gone not seeing him since we met.

So I've decided that I need to find a part time job. I really dont have to, cause Norm can support me..haha. But it is SOOOOOOOOO boring out here!!! Honestly, the days seem soooooo much slower. It is a much slower pace though, which I guess I wanted. I havent seen anyone under 60 in this town though either. There are soooo many old people. And it such a small town that everyone knows everyone. I was at the grocery store the other day and there were these old ladies talking, and I could hear them say, wow there are so many new people moving in, look. I was thinking I can totally hear you! haha Everyones really friendly though, so thats good. They all dress like they're from the country though..haha. its funny:)

All the wedding plans are coming together nicely. There are just a few little things we need to get done now. Im so excited for my family to come visit!!! And to go back to NS..even if its just for a week. Im really missing the beach!! Its been so hot here lately!! Norm took me to the lake the other day, and its just not the same!! We have an outdoor pool across the street from us here though, so thats nice.


I went to the movies with Norms mom and sisters yesterday, while he was at work..haha. We saw Hairspray. I really liked it! I love his family. They're so awesome! And have made a real effort to make me feel like part of the family, which is great!!

I should go get a shower and find a job. Its cute, Norm keeps getting after me to go out and do something. He's scared that the longer I just stay in the house, the more im gonna want kids right away..haha.
