It's Been A While...

Time: 11:36pm
Mood: Sicky
Song of the moment: for once I don't have one! *shock*

It's been a while since I last updated this blog. I'm not sure why.. possibly because I'm lazy? Or I just had too much to do. Believe it or not, I was actually really busy after the wedding. It was non-stop for me. The moment I got back from my honeymoon (don't worry, I'll get to that!), I started work. The weekend after I got back was Rita's wedding (again, get to that in a minute...), then the following monday I was whisked away to Detroit for work. Last weekend was the first weekend I got to do absolutely nothing - and it felt great!!

So the honeymoon! NZ was awesome! It was winter, and it was a bit rainy, but Jimmy and I had a lot of fun. Driving on the other side of the road was definitely different! I can't count the number of times Jimmy yelled "hug the right side!!!" haha! We did some hiking, some chilling and some zorbing! We decided to go together and it was hilarous! We did the hydro-zorb - that's where they put warm water into the ball w/ you, so you end up sloshing down in this ball filled with water. I ended up just sitting in the pool of water all the way down :S Jimmy tried to get up, but because I was at the bottom, he ended up tripping on me and kneeing me in the chest! haha! But the best thing we did on the trip was skydiving. Yes.. skydiving! We were in Taupo, deemed the skydiving capital of the world because of the large number of people that go skydiving at that location annually. We did a tandum skydive, where we jumped with an experienced jumper. It's strange.. I told myself I would never skydive, but I knew if I didn't go, Jimmy wouldn't go, and I knew Jimmy really wanted to go. So, to show him how much I loved him, I faced my fear and decided to jump. We jumped from 12,000 ft, which meant 45 seconds of free fall. Let me tell you - it was the most amazing feeling ever! The first two seconds I felt my stomach flop like it's never flopped before. It was like riding a roller coaster, but 10x worse! After that, all you feel is the cold wind on your face. Floating down was amazing! The sun was just setting, and the ariel view of Lake Taupo was spectacular. I was talking to my skydive partner, and he told me out of all the places he's skydived before (and it's a long list!), he said the best place was Taupo. Now would I do this again? hell no! I survived once - that's good enough!

Rita's wedding was great! It took place at a B&B in Coboconk, a town 1 1/2h northeast of Toronto. It was the perfect setting - the wedding ceremeony took place overlooking a lake. Rita walked down an aisle of rose petals. And the weather was nice and sunny... it was such a great day! It was good.. the wedding party + significant others got to stay in the cottages beside the inn (I got to stay in the Inn on the second night), so we all got to bond before and after the ceremony. That night after the BBQ reception, we all gathered for a small little firework show (courtesy of moi! hehe) and a bonfire. I got kinda tipsy that night - I blame Kathy's bf Charles for challenging me to a chugging contest! LoL! I remember giving my little cousin love advice! haha!

I better sleep... I'm in Detroit right now.. gotta wake up early for work. Thank God I'm going home to my hubby tomorrow :D I still gotta post photos huh? I will do that when I get home :D

Can you believe Jimmy and I have been married for a month now? wow!

I'm a Mrs.!

Time: 1:37pm
Mood: Happy x infinity!
Song of the moment: Darren Hayes - On The Verge of Something Wonderful

Ahhh I'm married! I can't believe it!

The day couldn't have gone more perfect. Everything was on time (actually a bit early!), and there wasn't any rain, even though the weather report predicted rain :) I couldn't have been more happier! The day just flew by. I woke up a 4:30am to have my hair and make-up done, then in a blink of an eye I was on the dance floor having the last dance with my new hubby. I'm actually surprised I didn't yawn until 12:30am! haha! I got many compliments about my photographer, the banquet hall, the food, the music, and most of all, my choice in MCs - Jack & Nancy. They kept the energy going and everyone had a lot of fun! Just hearing those comments made me realize it was well woth all the stress and headaches I had to go through to plan this wedding.

I personally had a blast :) Thanks to all those who helped us make our wedding day a complete success!

And for those of you who are wondering - Jimmy did tear when I walked down the aisle :) hehhe :D

Off to NZ we go! I'll post pics of the wedding and the honeymoon when I return :D

Last Post As A Single Gal

Time: 9:28pm
Mood: Nervous as heck
Song of the moment: Rihanna - Shut Up And Drive

So my last post as a single gal... I can't believe my wedding day is tomorrow! Most of you might think I'm excited, but I'm not - I'm more nervous than anything. I'm not nervous about marrying the man of my dreams... I am most certain I am marrying the right guy for me. I'm just nervous about the how the day is going to run. A year and a half of planning, and it comes down to this one day. One... single... day.

I went to the spa with Rita today. We've talked about going to the spa when one of us got married for as long as I can remember. It was hard to believe the day that we've talked about for so long was finally here. I can't believe we're all grown up, ready to marry the men we were meant to be with for the rest of our lives (Rita's getting married in 3 weeks).

Wow... so this is it. I'm as ready as I will ever be. All the "t"s are crossed, and all the "i"s are dotted - all I can do is sit back and try to enjoy the day. I still have to complete my thankyou speech. The only part I'm missing is what I am going to say to Jimmy. How do you tell someone they're your heart and soul... and that you love spending every minute with him, and that you can wait to spend the rest of your life with him? I guess it's just as simple as saying those words.

I hope it doesn't rain.... :D

A Mini-Post

23 days until my wedding - I am definitely on the verge of something wonderful. How suiting it is Darren Hayes' single off his upcoming album. A lot has happened since I last blogged.. I will update soon (perhaps this weekend when Jimmy heads off to Montreal for his bachelor party.. boourns! haha)

Home Sweet Home

Mood: Hungry..I should eat lunch eh?

It's been almost a month since Jimmy and I moved into our new house, and I'm starting to say, it's beginning to feel like home :) We have our kitchen table and our couches came in last Monday, so we have two fully functional rooms :) I just need a coffee and end table for the family room. The couches look fabulous! I love them! Beats sitting on lawn chairs! Trust me - attempting to sprall on lawn chairs - not fun!! We're still spending crazy money every weekend though... although this weekend has been pretty tame :)

Last week we bought our nice queen sized mattress :D We picked it up yesterday - strapped it on top of the van. That was quite the adventure! Jimmy and I had no idea how to tie a mattress onto a van, but we managed to do it! I drove behind it to make sure it didn't fall off, and if it did, I wanted to make sure other drivers wouldn't run into it. I was watching it wobble and shake every time Jimmy hit a bump.. that was nerve racking! Boy was I glad when we made it home safe and sound! LoL

Last night I finally got around to watching a movie! I havn't seen a movie in ages.. or what seems to be ages ago. Jimmy, Jenn and I went out to see "Knocked Up". Very funny movie, but damn am I ever scared to have kids. Doesn't look like a great experience. After the movie, I asked Jimmy if we could adopt! hahaha! All I know is, I'm gonna be asking for the drugs!
