Our Adventures

We were in Herbert this past weekend. Chris went to Kevin's bachelor party and I took grad pictures for his cousin and some engagement shots for Kevin and Alysha. It was good to be back at the farm one last time before all the craziness of moving begins. We head back to the farm this friday and then leave for our long drive to BC the next morning. Let the cleaning and packing begin! Here are some of my favorite shots that I took from the weekend. I took pictures for James' grad on Saturday when it was really sunny and they turned out pretty good. Then I took some of Kevin and Alysha the next day on a cloudy day and I'm really happy with how they turned out. They make me think I could actual be a photographer if I decide to go that route. Clouds are definitely a photographer's friend. Here they are...get ready for many of them because I couldn't just pick one or two out of the hundred or so that I took.

This week has seemed to go by very slow. I think it might be because we know we have so much stuff to do next week when we leave but we need to wait until it's close enough to do it. But the week is almost done and then it's the weekend! We're going out to Herbert so I can take some fantastic pictures of Chris' cousin for his grad/family photos and Chris is going to his bro Kevin's early bachelor party. Then it's our last week in Saskatoon which will probably consist of much cleaning, more packing, and trying to shove as much stuff into our car as possible. This past Tuesday we had slo-pitch and I brought my camera. I'll have to bring it again next week because we didn't get the whole team in our team photo because some people were not there. We ended up winning one game and losing the other but we should have one both. So far our record is 10 wins, 7 losses and one tie. But we had so many games that we lost which we should have won but lost to dumb mistakes, I guess that's how it works. Other than slo-pitch nothing too exciting has happened. Chris has to work on a paper and study for exams this last week so I'm guessing that I get to do most of the cleaning and packing. Yippee. It shouldn't be too bad, not quite as bad as cleaning a bachelor pad. Yeah well I guess that's all I got for now, here's some pictures from our intense games the other night...

Hey all. It's about time for a new post so here it is. Vicky and I are enjoying our last few weeks in Saskatoon, making sure we see some awesome people before we leave. First on Thursday we went to a going away party for our friend Dustin who is moving to Calgary. On Friday, our friends Mike and Chantelle came over for a barbeque and to play some games. They are moving to BC soon as well but to Ft. St John, not Chilliwack, so we'll be just a bit apart. On Saturday we had a busy day. I worked on my essay for my history class and then we did some packing. Had baseball that evening, where we won both games. After that we brought Andrew and Janette our wedding present, which was the game Ticket to Ride. They were pretty excited about that. After that we all went to our friend Josh's parents house to see Josh and Cassie who were home from BC for the week. There we did some hot tubbing and I was introduced to the Tim Tam Slam, which I really suck at. And that takes us to today where we are just taking it easy. I finally found time to put together some video from last summer of a new X-games sport which Colin, Kevin, and Ryan created, and I soon picked up. This video is mostly for you guys so you other people, don't feel you have to watch the whole eight minutes. It's pretty intense though. Don't try this at home.

I found this on some random blog and thought it would be fun to waste my time making them.

This is me in the forest taking pictures...or trying to figure out how to use a camera.



Chris is at school showing off his basketball skills.



Now everyone else can make one. Enjoy.

Alright, well I guess blogging isn't totally hopeless, that is good to know. I would have posted this stuff last night but I got caught up in trying to make a panorama of downtown Saskatoon which I still can't get to work. Anyways, much has happened this past week. Last Thursday we left for Calgary and stayed the night at my friend Jenn's house, she was my LTS at Capernwray. It was pretty swell to see her again and get caught up on each others lives. Friday was spent running errands and hanging out with the groom and groomsmen until we had the rehearsal and supper later in the evening. It seemed quite hectic that night with everyone trying to get last minute details done. I think I was much more relaxed the night before my wedding then these guys but it all worked out.

Saturday morning we had some brunch with the fam and then Chris had to go get ready with all the groomsmen so I hung out with the girlfriends until it was time to go. The wedding was really good, short and sweet. Here's the happy couple after they officially became husband and wife.

We had a good 4 hours in between the ceremony and reception so we got some dairy queen and I played bocce ball with the women while the boys got all sweaty playing football in the park. The reception was really good, Andrew's brother Colin and his uncle Rob were the MC's and they were pretty funny and had some good creative things to do that I had never seen at other receptions. I think I missed some good parts though because I got to hold baby Josh and he was too irresistible to not look at. Everything started a little later then it was supposed to and so the reception went for quite a long time and then there was a dance which last until 1:30am. Andrew and Janette were nuts staying for that long at the wedding but we finally kicked them out so they could go to their hotel and you know, do what newlywed's do. So I pretty much just knocked out once I hit the bed and didn't wake up until 10 the next morning.

The day after the wedding the whole family decided we'd meet in the park and have lunch and hang out before all driving back to SK. I spent some more time holding little Joshua Nelson again, he's so cute. The boys of course, got all sweaty again. All in all it was a splendid weekend had by all, it was probably one of the best weddings I've been too I reckon.
