I’m sitting here writing this as I am breaking in one of the pairs of shoes I am going to wear on the big day. I have a back up comfy pair, just in case my these ones prove too unbearable. I started doing some of the work on the table numbers the other night and Sean suggested I post the menu on the website. I was going to leave it as a surprise, so we will compromise and I’ll post some and leave the rest for you to discover.

I’ve also started getting idea’s together for the cakes! Im excited. Sean is up in arms about wanting a Boston Cream filled wedding cake which I was sternly against until I talked to the Amazing Robyn( www.erwinsbakery.ca ) and she started talking about strawberries and some other yummy goodies. Good thing I’ve been working out, and skipping sweets these past few months because I plan to do ALOT of eating!

Also just picked up three more shifts at the shelter for August and July, so a little client contact , a little extra moola . Less time with the fam is a huge downer, but it gives Sean a chance to hang out with kids without me which is a very rare occurance.

I stopped in at the church today and signed the last piece of paper needed and the wonderful receptionist put it in an envelope to be sent off to the Bishop today! Sean and I have also been working on picking the passages for the wedding ceremony- hopefully we can get all that sorted within the next week or so, so I can get the information off to the fantastic ladies who will be interpreting for me! A ceremony like this, especially in the Catholic church I can only imagine would be difficult to interpret- so I want to give them as much prep time as possible.

Hotel rooms are still available ( only one or two) but it’s end of season so I don’t imagine there will be a lot left closer to the date. If you need one phone the Executive Hotel in Coquitlam and book under the Coyle/Foster wedding. It’s $109 a night and if any one books wants to stay till the end of the evening I have two limos to pick up guests and bring them back to the hotel. No drinking and Driving!!!

Sooo.. Menu

We will have your choice of NY Steak, Chicken, or lightly spiced Cajun Salmon. There will also be grilled vegetables and a variety of salads for those of you who are Vegetarian. The bar will be serving basic highballs, and maybe a specialty drink or two. It’s a “twoonie” bar though so be sure to be prepared!!!

Are you getting excited yet? Because I sure am!!!!!! Yippie

So Im working through our wedding countdown list and apparently getting ahead of myself. I have all these wonderful Ideas for decorations and center pieces and all the other glitz but taking care of it all now seems like a bad idea. I know it will either get lost or damaged, but Im worried when it comes down to it I wont find the time. Working three jobs SUCKS!

And Sean just let me know that our officient has only given us a maybe.. and that answer will stay a maybe until much closer to the date!!! EEK

For any of you that can access TV Series Season DVD’s or download them I recommend getting  How I Met Your Mother Season 2 Episode 21… its me!!! Soo very appropriate.

Thats all for now.. guest list to do!  ( which keeps growing I might add)

Daniels 7th Birthday Party

Yesterday Sarah and I accomplished something great, yes, yes, working on the guest list.  We -think- we’ve got everyone but we’ll see how that goes when Brian and Sheliah come and visit in a week Monday.  I think my mom has some extra ideas for invites.  We’ve also worked out some favours details, we’re pre-ordering the ones for adults this week as there will be about 4 months prep time and it will take 2 months for the stock to arrive in from the supplier.  The youth / young one favours are far less an ordeal and will be prepared a few weeks before hand.

Yes, among all of this yesterday, we still managed to make it to a trampoline land birthday party in the Kamloops Tournament Center for a good friend of the families son, Aiden had a blast, some video below!  And yeah, the lawn got done yesterday as well.  As the heat goes down, the darned thing grows faster.
