Blonde Moment Anyone?

Alright. So I have a confession to make. Biggest blonde moment of my life, and I am super sorry for it. Haven't yet decided if it is funny or not, ok well its funny, but I am waiting to hear back from one person before I fully make my choice. But you are more then welcome to make your own call.

I have a friend from Kings, she lived across the hall from me when I was in the tower in residence second semester of my first year. She has always been a blast, full of energy, hilarious. We have some wicked fun pictures and definitely great memories. Ok, and that is my intro.

So in April she got engaged, which is wicked exciting! A couple months later I got an invite to the wedding! I was so psyched! She is from Surrey, so I started contacting a friend there to see if I could crash at his place, see if he was free that weekend so I could have a date for the wedding. He agreed and I was set- time to plan my trip. I was sitting at the computer one day, looking at flights, and there was a seat sale! I am sitting there, thinking to myself- sweet, you can't go wrong. I had figured I'd fly in on Friday evening(the 22), fly back home on Sunday evening(the 24). Just a short trip, busy and fun. For some reason I didn't book my flight, and would soon find out that wasn't a bad thing.

A few days later, I am in Vernon for a family wedding, and I get a facebook message from her, asking for my RSVP for her wedding on the 24th. I wrote back, what do you mean on the 24th? Isn't it on the 23rd? Nope, I was wrong. Turns out it is a really good thing that I didn't book that flight, cause it was a 330 in the afternoon wedding, on SUNDAY the 24th. Oops.

So change of plans, this time when I go to book my flight, I plan it a little better. This time I plan on a longer visit. I was to fly into Abbotsford on Sat, have my buddy Kurt pick me up, got to the wedding in Surrey on Sunday, stay at his place abd hang out till Tuesday, catch the ferry across to the Island and stay with Cheryl for a while in Victoria, flying home on Sunday. A great plan that I was pretty content with.

So Sunday comes around. Kurt and I are sitting there, its two hours before the wedding, and he asks me where in Surrey the wedding is. So I go to my suitcase, get the invite out, and take a look. I had to sit down as I gaped at it in wonder. Turns out, this wedding, the one that I flew into BC for, the one that I was super psyched for, well it wasn't exactly in Surrey. To be honest, it wasn't exactly in BC. And, if I am really tell you the truth, it wasn't even in Canada. Thats right folks, she was getting married, in Washington. Granted it wasn't far across the border, but Kurt didn't have his birth certificate on him, which meant getting there would take a little longer as we had to stop by his parents place- 20 mins away- to pick it up. Cept there is a problem beyond that. His truck, while insured, had seemed to of misplaced its papers. Never mind it is an older truck, he was convinced that it couldn't get across the border.

Needless to say, I missed the wedding.

In closing, I offer this piece of advice to the rest of the world. If you are invited to a wedding, actually read the invite. Don't assume anything. And to the Bride- I am truly sorry. I've seen pictures, you looked beautiful! Congrats to the two of you, I wish you a very happy life together, one blessed by God, full of love, happiness, joy, and everything you deserve.

New Life

Great news!

I have another Niece!

Katie Janelle was born on Sunday to Dale and Mar!

That makes three beautiful nieces- Kiera Lee(13 months), Brooklynn Amanda-Jean(2 months), and Katie Janelle(1 week).

Don't you just love when your siblings have kids? Even if it is hard to believe that they can be parents. Congrats!
