The Happy Couple




Some of the cutest boys EVER!





The Wedding Day was wonderful. The only thing that could have made this day better was to have my brothers family join us to celebrate. They were definitely missed by us all and we thought of them many times throughout the day.

It was amazing to see Blanca's family mix with ours despite the language barriers and I couldn't help but think that Jason chose well. There were many heart connections made with her family and ours, that will last a lifetime. We look forward to having the happy couple in Canada and celebrating with the rest of our family and friends at the Canadian wedding.
Adios Amigos!

By the way "Be Thou My Vision" is my favourite hymn of all time! The wedding looks like it was sensational.

I'll have to agree with Carlene's "sensational" comment! It's all so beautiful.

I can't wait for the party in June!!

OK, so it was my first time at Pizza Hut's all you can eat Buffet with my family and our cousins. I don't remember how old I was but I'm guessing around 10. Mark, our cousin Jason & I had an eating contest to see who could eat the most plates of main course and dessert. The plates had to have at least 2-3 slices of pizza, some garlic bread and pasta. So there was a lot of food on each plate. I ate 6 plates and Mark at 5. Then he ate 6 bowels of dessert and I ate 5. I don't think I could eat anywhere near that much food anymore. But I would be willing to try!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
