I Can't Believe How Long It's Been!!!!

WOW, where to begin,
Our wedding went off without a hitch. Everything was beautiful. We've been to BC for a visit a couple of times. We are now the proud owners of a 44 ft. boat that's docked in Castlegar, BC. Our dog got very sick and no longer recognized my husband anymore, so we had to put him down. My mother was diagnosed in Aug of terminal cancer. My mom and dad bought a home down the road from us and moved in the day after my mom's 65th in Oct just gone by. They had decided earlier in the summer that they wanted to retire in the country and leave the noisy city behind and relax. After the diagnosis they decided to continue with buying the home so that once my mother is gone my dad would not be alone. We would be here for him. Back in the city he would have been alone.
There is just sooooo much I can't put my finger on everything just yet. I'll leave it at that and be sure to come back very soon.

IT WON"T BE LONG NOW!
It's been slow go in preparing for our wedding. Things are done in steps with lots of waiting in between. I have chosen to make my own wedding cake. With it being a small wedding, I felt it was the logical choice. The affair will be intimate with mostly family in attendance and this would add a nice personal touch. I don't need anything bigger than 2 layers. Anyway, in keeping with the personal touch, I bought a humorous cake topper, 'I've Got You Now!' and have made a mini-sized floor model tv (play-doh) with the screen showing NHL on. It will look like the bride is dragging her groom away from watching hockey to get married. Everyone at the wedding knows how much of a hockey fan Jordan is. It will be funny yet tasteful!
Cake: yellow sponge cake inside with lemon buttercream frosting and covered in white and yellow marbled marshmallow fondant(rolled). I will also be adding ribbon and yellow daisies made from the fondant.
There still are many things left to do but I'm not stressed and am loving the whole experience.

Below is a photo of another mosaic piece I made.

I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!


Jordan has asked me to marry him. We've chosen a summer wedding. July 19, 2008.

We may be getting married a bit late in life BUT feel just like we would have when we were younger. We are planning on a small intimate affair with just close friends and family. There will be about 30 guests max. It is our first and only wedding so we want something nice. We want to be able to look back at the fond memories on tape and camera yet not drown in debt and bills afterward.
IT WILL BE A WONDERFUL DAY

AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW--I LOVE ANIMALS
I also like to laugh. One of my fave things to do, is to find and share funny animal pics. Today is no exception. I feel like a laugh and added the photo below. Hope you all enjoy it.

JAIL AND BAIL
I'll give you whatever it takes to get out of here!!!
Bread and water is not my cup of tea.
I'm begging you---release me now or I will do to you, the very thing that led me here.

LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER!
'Tag' and 'Kitten' crack me up all the time. Their antics can be amusing and charming.

HONEST MOM--WE 'RE JUST HANGING OUT

Of coarse you love me.

Kitten is our cat. His name is actually Shut Up, however, I cannot bring myself to call him that (Jordan named him). It's not to say that I have not told Kitten to shut up. There is a reason for his birth name. Most days he listens better than our dog.

OK, I'LL POSE FOR YOU HUMANS BUT JUST THIS ONCE
