It's All Coming Together :)



Hello,
I can't believe I actually remembered to update the blog...hopefully this will continue :) Mike and I have been busy as usual. Over the weekend we bought our wedding bands and Mike bought the shorts he will be wearing for the wedding. The bridesmaids also ordered their dresses. Now Mike and I are just trying to figure out what picture package we want and what the groomsmen will be wearing. Hopefully that will be finished this weekend. Not much else is new around here. We have both been pretty busy with work and other work related commitments. Today the zoo came to our school with a few small animals. The students also got to pass around snake skin and a duck foot. One of my students looked at the duck foot with a puzzled look on his face and then used it as a back scratcher...hahah that made my day. Ah the things you see in an elementary classroom.

Mike and Mel.

Back Into The Swing of Things...

Mike and I want to thank everyone who helped out with our shag, especially my mom. I don't think she slept for the whole two weeks prior to the shag. It was nice to see everyone over the holidays. Mike and I are also happy to be back in Calgary and back into a routine. It was a tough start to the week with crazy flights and lost luggage, but everything seems to have returned to normal. Now that the shag is over the countdown to the wedding begins. I can't believe how fast everything is going by! There is not much new happening in Calgary, but we are lucky to be having some fantastic weather this weekend...it is plus 2! Our New Year's resolution is to try to post more often...hahaha. So we will see how that goes. Bye for now,
Mike and Mel.

Countdown Begins

I can't believe it is already December. The time has just flown by. Mike and I are just beginning to think about Christmas shopping and we are very excited to be going home to visit family. I am especially looking forward to seeing Brad and Joey. Unfortunately we lost a friend this past week in a car accident and it really makes you think...how much time do we really have? She lost her life at such a young age and had so much going for her. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jasmine's family.
