Quick Up Date

Friday my good friend Becky got married. We've been friends since the 3rd grade and I still cannot believe my little Becky is married. Crazy. She is also going to be living (once Matt and I are married) close to us. SO close that I can walk to her house. I'm totally excited about that.

Saturday, Matty and I went to Wonderland and had a BLAST. It was nice just to be with him all day and talk non stop, and not about the wedding. It felt like we were humans again and not weddingzillas. Also weird but I saw Travis (from KLBC) and Rachel Brooks. That was cool. I talked to her for about 5 mins and then we carried on. But we are going to get together once Matt and I are married.

Sunday, today, I went to church with mom and dad and met up with my friends again. Oh, ha, me and my good ol friends from WAY back, we are going line dancing on wed. It's free so why not. I'm soooooooooooo excited.

Aight going to bed.

Mrs. Mary Riker in 34 days. eeekkkk

Wedding, Work, Hair... OH MY!!!!

Wow...well its 38 days till the wedding and I still need a ton more RSVP cards. Annoying you ask? Yes but they all should be coming shortly. I cannot believe the wedding is coming closer and closer and I'm getting more and more excited. My mom finally found a dress for the wedding and it looks great. My cousin's Barb and Cindy are coming over tonight to make bows for the church. Ahhh they are the best cousin. Those girls are always willing to help and give it there all. Even for the wedding so far they've been a great help. Thanks grils love ya lots.

My hair is brown now for the wedding. I was going to get it done somewhere and realized I do NOT want to pay like $70 to get my hair colored when I know I can do it myself. So now I'm a brunette which feels good because I was a blond all summer long.

Well I LOVE my new job. These kids that that "teach" morning and afternoon really make my day. I love this job. Even though there isn't a lot of hours that I have, but this I am living out a life long dream of working at a daycare.

This is all for now gtg and eat some supper AND get rid of this headache of mine.

Matty if you read this I love you lots and cannot wait to be your wife, just another 38 days.

TTFN (that's for you Bren)

New Job

Tomorrow at 7:45 am I start me new job at St.John school in Beamsville. I'm really excited despite the fact that I have the most horrible cold. It must be lack of sleep and wedding stress. This is weird because I haven’t been stressing...well maybe a little but nothing to lose sleep over but whatever.

Matty-watty leave for 4 days to go to camp with one of the clients from Bethesda(sp) homes. I'm gonna miss him but at least it's not longer then 4 days.

But off to get some need rest.

Hacking and sniffing my brains out,

Meet Calli

Say hello to Calli. She is the newest addition to our relationship. She is fun, full of energy and a brat but do I do love her so much. She is so much fun to be with. We've had her for about 3 weeks now; it’s been nothing but a joy to have her around. Matty loves her and she love Matty. They are like 2 peas in a pod. It's so cute. So there now that you've met the newest addition our family I can carry on about the wedding :0)

So the wedding...well its next month. 55 days away and I am so excited I sometimes have a hard time containing myself. I know that these next 55 days are going to be stressful and emotional. I am going to miss living at home but mom and dad will only be 20 mins away so I can't complain there I know. So wedding preparations are happening more and more and everything is turning out great and getting done. The invitations are sent out so they should arrive during the week of sept 6-9. So RSVP right away. My wedding dress (which I’ve tried on 2 times since getting on Friday) is sitting in my parent’s closet. Since losing 15lbs it needs some alterations. Not too much which is great but it does need some so that it fits better. I have to call the seamstress on tues, don't worry ladies I have one lined up and she is just waiting for me to call her and make an appointment. Then my wedding dress needs to get pressed and then not wear it till the wedding...ACK who am I kidding man if I had it my I'd sleep in my wedding dress. :0) hehehe. But all in all, the wedding preparations are coming along great.

Keeping in the theme of great news, my sister Brenda who also is a bridesmaid in my wedding is pregnant with #3. eeekkkkk baby #3 is on the way. She isn't due till March but she will be 4 months at my wedding. But I am thrilled that I am going to be an auntie again. I mean Haden and Garrett are the best nephews, but one more is going to be even better. Once I get to meet this little on in March is so going to make me want one of my own. I know that can wait a few years.

This is all for now going to chillax with Makiko since I haven't seen him much these days.

Full of emotion
Mary
