A Day In Banff!
My sister Monika is visiting from Campbell River! So I took Friday off and we went to Banff and rode the gondola up on Sulphur Mountain! Heres a preview before we were too scared to take the gondola back down and decided to walk 16 kilometers back down..... (Just KIDDING!)

The beautiful wedding that I photographed last weekend!
DeeAnn - I just couldn't help but post some of the pictures that I took this weekend for your wedding (You're not allowed to see the rest until Sunday :) Thank you for allowing me to be part of your wonderful day - you looked amazing and the wedding was one of the best I've ever been to. I hope you enjoy some of these pictures :) (Also..These pictures are not as clear because they are low resolution for blogger)
I took this picture at the hair salon, looking through the window in the door.
At the salon, after Taylor got her hair all done. Isn't she beautiful?

OUR HOUSE (.... in the middle of the street...)
Hello Ya'll..
So here are some pictures of the house...
Sorry about not having posted for so long, but I have been to cheap to get internet yet, so here I am sitting at work early, where I hooked up my laptop to their internet (nobody needs to know...)
So here are some pictures of the house...
The living room
The laundry room and half bath (at the end)
Our kitchen!! Ok... disregard the gross countertop and backsplash, this will shortly be replaced with something 2007, not 1994. I have already changed the knobs to an oil rubbed bronze (they used to be brass with a face that matched the countertop... yik)
Hey... How did Brodie 23rd Birthday Party sneak in here???
I decorated.....
Okay.. enough of that... more house pictures... of the outside...
....hey how did these hot tubbing pictures get in here?!?
Yea... don't even comment.. I look rediculous...
Well, that about wraps up this post for now... I better get to work. I will take more as it progresses...
Till then... Toodles!

Pack-a-lacking
One more week and we move into our own house :) Yiiipppiiiii!!!!!!!!!!I am trying to get so much organized this week, besides work (where I received a $5.00/hr raise by the way!!!!), I am trying to pack and clean and organize, sign papers at lawyers, do a home owners walk through, go to a bridal shower... what else... I know there's more. Feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.. but super pumped!!
Besides that.. I am coming up with design schemes for my house.... what do you think of my above Masterbedroom and ensuite colours?? I'm diggin' em!
Well, life is seeming to be a bow of cheeries right now.. just like these ones that I bought at the farmers market... Mmmhhh!!!

We bought a house!!!
Yes, it's true, Brodie and I bought a house :)
I am soooo excited!!! We will move in at the end of August, so that gives us lots of time for finance, mortgage,lawyer stuff (although most of it is already done!) So.. it's 2500 sq ft (1250 on each level) - there is a double car garage, a nicely kept front yard, with a hot tub fenced in on the front deck. When you come in, you take about 6 steps up, to the left, and you are on the upper level, where there is a large living room, kitchen, dining room and fireplace corner (it's all open), there is a nice closet/cleaning/laundry room, and the masterbedroom, with large ensuite, jetted tub and a HUGE walk in closet (JUST what we need!!). At the front door, when you take 6 steps down on the right, there is a large family room (which we will make into a gym), and two large bedrooms (one will be my office, one will be a guestroom), there is another large bathroom downstairs, the mechanical room, a large storag room and a wine cellar room (neither of us drink wine, but brodie will prbably use it to store all of his gross deer meat or something...).
On the top level off of the dining room, there is a large deck, with stairs down to the yard. There is a workshop attached the house as well , and a nice little yard with firepit and a gardening planter. Sooo since most of you have a different vision of the house after me describing it, you will just have to come for a visit, to see what it actually looks like!! (Reservation bookings availble for October at the moment).
I can't even begin to discribe all what has happened in the last year. (Little recap ; graduated from college at the end of April, yesterday was the one year anniversary of my Dad's death, in October I got hired full time with the best company EVER, in March we sold our house in Germany, I got a promotion and raise at work, in May I bought my new Honda CRV, I sponsored a child in Africa FINALLY (I've always wanted to do this!) and have gained a 6 year old penpal from it, in June we bought a house.) To me, that was one hell of a busy year! Keep em' coming!!!
Most of all, I am soo thankful for all of the people that have helped me through this year, through the good and the bad.
Nicole: Thank you for living with me for 2 years in college and being a great roomate - there will forever be memories of stupid things we did, staying up all night working on projects and papers, living on stir-fry and tuna for two years, and those saturday night hermit movie nights! I am so proud of who you have become and that what you are doing in africa this summer, you should be so proud of yourself for making such a difference in the world, Love you always!!!
My college friends: Becky, Carolyn, Anali,Ashley,Stephanie,Trudy,Becky M,etc. It was sooo amazing to meet all of you from all over Canada. Each of you have such a unique personality and you are all so talented at what you do! I will never forget the COUNTLESS nights spent at the college finishing projects, the amount of money we spent of coffee, and all of the laughters shared! Becky and Carolyn, it was especially nice to get to know you two closer, you are both such talented women who will go all the way to the top! I hope we always stay in touch, and will soon visit again!!
Deenie&Greg: I don't think you know Deenie, how much helped me when my Dad passed away.

You are such a wonderful woman, with so much energy and spirit and you are a great mother to your children. Thank you for always being there for Brodie and I. We love you two very much!!
