The wedding fun really starts

Well this past weekend was awesome!

On thursday night, Cory and i took off to the city to pick up my Aunt from BC and my Uncle from England. They spent the weekend at our place and it was great to really meet them and enjoy getting to know them and their accents lol.

On friday, Cory and I took it pretty easy...The highlight to friday was either going for lunch at his parents or going down to mary Jane at midnight. It was so nice to get back out there with not being there in so long. I love that Place.

On Saturday, I spent a lot of the day with Cory's Mom shopping in winkler. I was kind of nervous at first (is this going to be awkward and those sort of thoughts were racing through my mind) but it was awesome! We had a blast and am excited to do it again sometime!

Saturday evening I had my first bridal shower. It was great, we made toliet paper dresses, had some great food and just hung out. Got some great presents such as an electic skillet, frying pans, cookie sheets and so forth...

Here are a few pictures...






Ok...this was hilarious...both moms got us the same cookbook!!

Thinking

So today I had some time to sit back and think. I know, me, take time to think, does not happen often. I have so many big changes coming up in the next 3 months that it overwhelms me to the point of tears. Tears of joy, anger, frusteration, excitement and every other emotions you can think of. The challenge to this is that I feel I have no GIRL friends to really talk through this with. Not sure where they have all went but I so often feel lonely here in Steinbach.

My job is going better. I have really connected with 2 staff, Cindy and Ang. I love working with both of them because of the people they are. With Ang, she is a Christian and not afraid to talk about it (unlike so many other people at work) and she has been a huge encouragement to me in my faith even without being intentional about it. Cindy is just a blast to be around, let alone, when you put me Cindy and Ang together...Mahem is sure to occur...but I love it. I am going to be incredibly sad to leave that place, I can't believe I am a quarter of the way done at this point already.

Wedding plans are in needs of a kick in the butt...I just don't have a lot of motivation for that and don't know where to start again either...After next weekend things will become more real again I bet (I have my first of i think 4 showers). I am excited though. Just yet another big change, a big move, and to know that we have to move again in just under a year...not appealing at all.

Where's summer weather?

But anyways, I am going to try to go back to bed here, it is near one and there is a possibility of taking my respite care girl to the carnival with her mom tomorrow so I am pumped about that. I am really sad that my time with her is nearly up. I am going to miss them like nuts when they move and I have a feeling I will be seeing Bek's over the summer quite often because I just could not do without my Rebekah hug lol.

Holding on to Him,
Cassandra
