Weekend Recap In Pictures

This weekend we had the pleasure of attending a wedding. One of Adam's cousins was married. It was an eventful and amazing weekend. 
Beautiful drive to my sister's place....I heart fall leaves
After driving 2.5 hours Friday night, we realized that while packing that both of us had neglected to pack the garment bag that was on the bed. This bag...not only had my dress but Adam's dress shirt and pants for the wedding...oops! Do we drive home and then 5 hours to the wedding very early Saturday morning or do we buy new clothes? We woke up early Saturday morning, drove for an hour and stopped at a mall to buy new clothes for the wedding.
This is me changing in a very tiny bathroom at a restaurant around the corner from the church 15 minutes before the wedding.
This is the $20 dress that I bought in just a few minutes.
Adam's outfit did not cost $20 but we're still smiling. The worst part about this...Thursday night we went shopping and both bought new outfits! I can guarantee that we will not forget that garment bag again!

Christ Anglican Church in Bobcaygeon, ON
The church is about a 140 years old and holds special meaning for Adam's family as  Adam's great grandfather attended this church after arriving from England. Stunning.

The reception space was perfect. Amazing food, great music and time spent with family. These really are life's best moments.
Bobcaygeon Inn...old, historic and interesting. Oh...and where I also ran into Kenny Rogers at 2 o'clock in the morning. Okay...it was a Kenny Rogers impersonator but hey...it was still cool.
Love the Bagpipes
Adam's sister Emily. I love this girl...it helps that she's my kind of crazy!

How was your weekend?

  8. I can't believe you found that dress for $20! What a bargain. And I have to say that forgetting your garmet bag at home is totally something I would do. My BFF got married last year one state away from where I live and I left all my makeup at home. I was the maid of honor. Fortunately, the other ladies in the bridal party let me borrow their makeup.

"Loss alters life.  And life carries on, with all the agony that suggests."

Saturday night we lost someone very near and dear to our family to cancer. This man had a profound impact on my life and was like a second father to me. My parents had been friends with him and his family for over forty years. Many of my fondest childhood memories included him. Some of the best stories centered around him and his enduring playful sense of humor. In short...he was incredible.

It has been a few years since I had seen him. Life, as always, has been a bit hectic since welcoming Lochlan.  I wish with every fiber of my being that I had made the effort to see him more. "Could have" and “should have” are immediate alternates when finding words to write about such dark moments. One learns a few more things about oneself, and it occurred to me while thinking about Winston and reflecting on another year without my Poppy. I think I’ve learned some lessons from their loss.  Further, that …

êtes-vous en agitant à moi?

The other day I was at the mall and I was waving goodbye to someone I knew, but two other people thought I was waving to them, which caused them to wave, too. I felt extraordinarily loved, even though I’m sure the other wavers felt weird after the waving incident, largely because there was a large mirror by the door so they could all see each other’s mistaken wave. I wanted to hug them all and tell them, I've been there, when someone waves and you don’t know if it’s at you and you don’t know what to do...I've been there. I didn't hug them because I knew just having the thought was abnormal, let alone acting on it, but I resolved to go home and write out a few handy tips on how to cover up this awkward occurrence.

Here are my top 3 tips on how best to handle the awkward wave...

Become the designated waver - Become the type of person that waves at everyone constantly. Now if you are going to be the designated waver you should have fun exploring the art of waving. There are so …
