almost married

Hey there. I'm getting married in two days.....

Whaaaaaaat?!?!
This is actually happening?
A little over four and a half years and it's finally here!
Yeah this is pretty surreal.

I guess I'll share a little of the craziness going on around here. First off, my phone decided it would like to go for a swim in a toy store's toilet. That was pretty awesome. I'm just thankful I hadn't actually gone to the bathroom yet when it happened. I quickly grabbed it, cleaned it as best I could without damaging it even more (like that could have happened) and it asked me if I would like to turn it off. On any other iPhone I would have absolutely turned it off, but you see, the power button doesn't work so I'm not sure if I could have turned it back on. So I left it on to suffer and die then I put it in a bag of rice. No dice.

I bought a used one on Kijiji that I was pretty sure had been stolen (you know, classic sketchy guy selling more than one iPhone on Kijiji). I checked with the Calgary police and they said it hadn't been reported as stolen. That doesn't mean it wasn't, it just wasn't reported.

So fun hey?

Okay maybe not so much, but what actually was fun was the bridal shower that Arianne threw for me on Saturday the 17th. Complete with amazing appetizers and even more amazing friends.

It was held outside on a pretty hot day, so Carol and Alex broke out the sprinkler to help cool down. What a fantastic idea.

Thanks so much to everyone who came! And thanks, Arianne, for hosting it!

After the shower I took my neglected pup on a much needed walk. We went to Bowmont park and the pathways were finally open after the flooding.

I couldn't believe this tree actually survived the chaos.

There used to be a fence where that dirt line is to the right in this pictures:

This little bridge used to point directly towards where I took the picture from. I'm actually surprised it wasn't completely washed away.

On Sunday night I went down to Raymond. Dad dyed my hair the next morning to match my extensions that I was going to put in, but my hair still wasn't dark enough. Mom had to dye it again to match. It's a pretty close match. After she was finished working, Mom started on my extensions. Four hours later she put the last one in. I got Loop-n-Lock extensions, otherwise known as micro-bead extensions. Here is a little sneak peak of how long my hair is now. I love it! The best part is that it will last for up to 3 months and it doesn't damage your natural hair.

The next day I had my nails done by Sue Shurtz. I love these things too but I need to re-learn how to take my contacts out.

I'm feeling pretty pampered and prissy. I have a few more things to do to wrap this whole wedding thing up. Everything is coming together rather nicely, slowly but surely. Sam, Matt, Steph, Rhett, Capri, and Charlotte made it up last night from Utah. I can't wait to marry into this wonderful family! Two days, two days!!!!
