Matt and Nicole's wedding

So after finally getting to Canada (he he), the party began. Lots and lots of partying. Too much for my grandma self to handle! The stagette party went really well and we had an awesome time getting to know each other and even played a few games. Sorry the video is crooked, but for some reason, I turned the camera half way through. Nicole is in the white pants...

Friday, we spent the day decorating the reception hall. Her colors are a light aqua blue (very pretty) and red. We placed large martini glasses in the center, filled it with red and blue glass beads and put candles on top. Then sprinkled rose petals and little blue daisy's around the base. It looked really good! Then that evening, we had the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. It was FREEZING! Literally, I thought I was going to die! However, the rehearsal dinner we had finger foods and sushi catered in! YUMMY!

Saturday, Nicole and her bridesmaids got up early and went and got their hair and makeup done. Then they met over at Nicole's mom's house to get ready. Her dress was gorgeous and her hair and makeup looked perfect!

I don't have hardly any pictures of the actual wedding due to me getting to borrow Kerry's awesome camera which means that she has all of the photos on her camera. I will be getting those soon! Her ceremony went beautifully and then we went down to the waterfront to take pictures and then to the reception site.

At the reception, the New Yorkers sang a song that they wrote for their "toast". It was so awesome!

The reception was a stinking blast! So much fun! We danced the night away...

Friday Night Football...and Rehearsal Dinners

So even though I am hundreds of miles away, it is still football Friday. I just spoke with Josh who was on his way out the door to head to the field. I am sad because I don't get to hug him and wish him "good luck" right before he runs out. Tonight they are away, they are playing at Shawnee Mission North (not sure which school the field is on, but...). I am really hoping that we run these guys scoreless...we are not fond of our defensive record! Anyway, think good thoughts for the Falcons tonight!

Tonight is the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner for Matt and Nicole's wedding. We got up early this morning and began decorating the reception hall. There was so much to do and everyone was dragging due to the exceptionally late night last night. By the way, here they call bachelorette parties Stagette Parties (and Stag for bachelor party). We had a great time! I have some very funny pictures and even a video. Will definitely post when I get back to the states.

PS Canada is cold. Don't let anyone tell you differently. If they do, they are either 1) Canadian or 2) insane.

Canada Trip: Day 1

Day 1: Today is Wednesday. My awesome husband woke up with me to take me to the airport. We depart out house at 4:05 am set to arrive at the airport at 4:50 am. My flight leaves at 6:10 am. so my bag must be checked by 5:10 am. We hug good-bye and I head inside. I am struggling with both bags and my carry-on so the desk lady helps me. She says, "Where are you going?" I reply with excitement,"Halifax, Nova Scotia!" She says, "Okay, let's start with your passport." WHOOPS! With all of our morning rush (and my complete stupidity the night before), I did not grab my passport. The one I just got for this specific trip. I had to have it expedited so that it would be here in time for the trip. I desperately begin searching for my cell phone to call Josh. Not in my purse. Not in my carry-on....... CAN I PLEASE USE YOUR PHONE???

"Josh, I forgot my passport"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am sorry"
"Should I go get it?"
"Can't, my bags have to be checked in 15 minutes"
Nice lady behind the counter, "I can rebook you on a later flight, 2:00 pm arriving at 10:00 pm tonight in Halifax, do you want it?"
I nod, "Josh, can you come back and get me?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes"
"F***" Click.

:( Bad start to my day. Even worse start to Josh's day. But Nicole is able to pick me up at 10 pm so that part is good. Josh came back and got me and after 45 minutes of not talking on the way home and going to his school to work out a sub for the day, he began to cool off. Not completely, but enough that the next trip to the airport, he said he loved me still...even though I have done this to him twice!

Oh Canada...

Oh Canada! I am leaving Wednesday morning bright and early (my flight leaves at 6:10 am!) to head off to the beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. My good friends Nicole and Matt are getting married (FINALLY!) and I get to go! I will be arriving Wednesday and returning Sunday! Keep your eyes peeled for awesome pictures of my trip!

PS Our Falcons did not win on Friday. It was a sad day in the Perkins' household...

Football Rivalry!

Best news ever!

So I was browsing the internet looking for my next "Recipe of the Month" and guess what I found?!?!

OCTOBER IS...

Ledger's Baptism

Just to update my sleep sack... Man, I am good! Plus, it fit! Absolutely could not have gone smaller! I am still making another sack but it is not complete yet. Keep checking back!

Who is that little man with the uni-brow? Who did that to him!?!? :)

This is my handsome nephew/Godson and me on his baptism day! He did fabulously on his special day! He just layed there and stared up at the Paster while he sprinkled the water on his head. He is such a good baby! Got to love that GQ outfit!
