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!

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

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.
