Weeeee’re back!  We’ve returned from our family road trip to beautiful Penticton, BC this past weekend and we had a blast!  We spent most of the day Friday soaking up the sun at Okanagan Lake in the newly fenced in and designated off-leash doggie beach with Oliver and Winston.  Oliver was happy to be free to swim without the burden of his leash and really enjoyed fetching his floating orange chew toy.  It was Winston’s first beach experience and we weren’t sure what to expect.  He was quick to chase after Ollie, even into the water, until he realized he could no longer touch the bottom.  Though his rear end sank like a brick, his doggie instincts prompted …

As you all know, Lucas and I just returned home from our wedding weekend in Las Vegas!  Some of you were there and some of you watched from home even!  No matter who you are, we thank you for your love and support.  This post is to let everyone know that we have updated our wedding website to reflect our return and share details about our wonderful weekend.  We also have uploaded a big bundle of photos (and even a little video clip or two), accessible from links on the updated wedding website.

Wow, we’re down to a mere 2 weeks until our upcoming Viva Las Vegas Wedding Extravaganza! I just recently updated a few details on our wedding page about our plans during the day on the Saturday we’re there: we are renting a car (along with a few other people who are renting vehicles) and going to drive out to the Hoover Dam and the west side of the Grand Canyon for the afternoon since they’re not too far. And we’re not renting just any car…we’ve booked a Lotus from Dream Car Rentals! While it’s not a Neon SRT-4 (*swoon*), it’ll still be a fun and memorable drive nonetheless. If you’re one …

Today is my one year anniversary being an official Canadian Permanent Resident! And as of June 6, I will have lived here for two full years :) That’s a lot of maple syrup and igloos, eh? I’ve loved every minute of it.
Hope everyone is having a fabulous long weekend. :)  Only 33 days until the wedding!  Are YOU ready for Vegas?

As Lucas mentioned in his recent post, we have moved! We lucked out and found a gorgeous new house that was just recently built in a newly developed neighbourhood. The house was finished being built a week before Christmas, and thanks to the help of Michelle, Jeff, and Jeremy, we successfully moved in last Saturday. It took two full UHAUL trips and a lot of blood, sweat and tears… but we’re finally mostly settled in. The house is so new that it doesn’t even have grass yet, much to Oliver’s disappointment; the builders plan to lay the sod for our yard in the spring. It has hardwood floors throughout the …
