OR is it the beginning? Let us ponder this for a second...

Okay, times up! Although wedding plans have been a tad stressful lately I have still enjoyed them and I will probably miss the excitement when it's all over and I'm no longer a bride, just an old maid. Just kidding of course! I am honestly more excited for the marriage than I am for the wedding. It is such a privilege to be able to spend my life with someone I love so much! I know I'm in the "honeymoon stages" right now, but I really hope I don't lose that outlook once I've been married for a while and he leaves toothpaste in the sink and other gross things like that and I'm not feeling so 'lovey dovey'. But as I've said in a previous post... it's not all about feelings. You can't rely on your emotions!

So on Saturday my darling friend Vanessa came all the way from Wetaskiwin, Alberta to spend a whole week and a day here with me during this exciting time. Yup, she's one of my bridesmaids. We've been busy watching movies and the o.c., shopping, and lots of other important things. I'm sure that kind of fun will end today when the busy wedding week begins!

You know how you have horrid dreams before a big test or some other important occasion, and you wake up in a sweat (well, not for me) and possibly even with tears in your eyes? Well, I've had a few of these dreams and it's usually about my hair. My hair being messy and frizzy, my hair not getting done on the wedding day. Well, on Saturday, one of my dreams came true! Well, not really, just the concept.
I was sitting in the barber chair and I asked if she could give me bangs again. The last time she cut my bangs I was impressed so I thought she would do a good job this time as well. Big mistake! She took a chunk of hair in the front of my head and just chopped it. No shaping, no nothing, she just chopped it. I was horrified, but didn't say anything out of fear that she would try to fix it and make it worse! So later on we went to a salon in the mall and I told them my situation. They were all very shocked at what an atrocity this woman just committed (it was actually pretty funny.. I was treated very well because I'm a bride and apparently something like this shouldn't happen a week before the wedding haha) Luckily, some russian lady was able to perform emergency surgery on my bangs, and they turned out pretty good. A little short, but defnitely better than my other "forehead grass". I'm not actually sure why I called it that.

So, as I wind down this entry, I will say that this will probaby be the last time I have a chance to post before I am Nathan's wife. I'm pretty dang excited, and I hope I will see many of you who are reading this at the wedding! Pray for us! haha

That's more for a bath and I'm going to talk about a shower... but do you see how it's all connected. It's not really, but let's pretend.

On June 1st my amazing friend Leah Peah Diarreah planned a wonderful bridal shower for me! They were an hour late picking me up, but that's okay. haha. I got there and oh my goodness gracious there was so much food! Sam bought a chocolate fountain just for this event, and planned to take it back after giving it a thorough cleaning. They had brought all my favourite goodies, it was very thoughtful! We played lots of fun and embarassing games, one of which I do not wish to describe on my blog. There could be under age readers. Now I made it sound really bad, it wasn't, it was just a little embarassing. Anyway... we played this one game called "How well does the bride know the groom?" They had asked Nathan a ton of questions and I had to guess his answers and with every one I got wrong I had to put a piece of double bubble in my mouth! According to this game I don't know Nathan very well... how am I supposed to know what his parents would have named him if he were a girl? Let's just say, at the end of it I was drooling and gagging and everyone had a good laugh.

I'm trying to think of what else... OH yeah! My sister got home on monday! It seems like longer, I don't have my own bathroom anymore. That's okay though, there haven't been any fights over the shower yet and I should enjoy this time because there are only 22 more days that we get to share a bathroom. Then I have to share one with a boy. I haven't seen her pictures yet because she's waiting until my faja comes home from the hospital, and we don't know when that will be yet. She brought us some really cool gifts. I got a silver toe ring, a change purse, and a gorgeous hand painted bracelet that is REALLY hard to get on and off! haha. I'm sooo glad she's home. And do you know what? She has a tan! Yes, my very very white sister has a tan. She's darker than me and we are all very proud of her for this. Congratulations Lindsay!

We went to dancing lessons last night, learned some very cool new moves, and I DID NOT have another encounter with "Betty" the dog. It was a joyous evening. And Leah came to this one, she was partners with Brandon and I felt sorry for her. haha. He's improving though! Good job buddy! Okay, I think that's all for now because I've been typing fast and I think my fingers are about to spasm! haha. Oh, I have another shower tonight... a kitchen one. It shall be interesting!
