Happy New Years to you all!! 2011, can you believe it?! I sure can't. It honestly feels like 2010 just flew by...I am sure I say this every year but honestly I have no idea where December even went, let alone a month like.... March.
Well 2010 was again another pretty good year for me...filled with tons of happenings.
The year started out with planning and going on a trip to Dominican with our friends Dom & Ashley. It was the first time Lorne and I have ever went on a hot holiday and boy did we have a great time! You find out very soon that we are very lucky here in Canada to have fantastic tasting booze and mixing agents that are available to us at every liquor store, unfortunately there...its pretty much bottom of the barrel which by about day 3 you really get use to :) None the less we had tons of fun, and met some pretty..interesting people haha my saying for the whole trip courtesy of Lilo and Stitch was "Ohana means family, and family means you stick together" haha here's a picture from our trip
The next part of my 2010 was filled with Julie :) Her and Tyler got married June 26th. This was the first wedding that I have ever planned and I was so happy to be doing it with Jules..Now to say that everything went perfectly I would be lying...haha after we got the call saying they double booked us at Rotery Park..I knew that was only going to be the beginning, I just had a feeling, there was already another wedding at the Doug Third Gym, so that wasn't an option. We had even moved the wedding back from the weekend before because the park wasn't available. So after a ton of my phone calls, they allowed us to put our tent behind the baseball diamond at Woodlawn. So our location was finally set. Then the bridesmaid dresses came and they were ..well they literally looked nothing like the picture..but a few pins and a great seamstress that problem was solved. Next was the tent....we booked a tent thinking it would be white, since that is what we understood...two weeks before the wedding....we found out it was blue....THANKFULLY A-1 rentals had one last white tent left! After a few vandalizing creatures in the ten Friday night a few clean ups in the morning, the stress was over. With all the "mishaps" I wouldn't trade any of it, their wedding went off beautifully, and truly was an amazing day for the two, and I couldn't be more happy for them!
The rest of my summer was filled with our house renos and "Wine-in Wednesday" AKA "Men's Night" with my bestie Amanda. Every week was always so much fun, I am seriously so glad I have her in my life. Although the amount of wine that was consumed could be judged by others..so that I will keep to myself :)
July long weekend, Lorne with the help of his brother Jeff, ripped down our old deck...which was a total of something ridiculous like 4500 pounds of rotted wood. Then the rest of summer Lorne with the help of my brother Cheyne and a smigent of help from Patrick helped build our new deck that is so perfect!! It is a two tier cedar deck, that is a total of something like 40 feet. We almost got it all done but then it decided to snow so the final details will have to wait until the spring.
Here is a picture of half the old deck on our driveway.
At the end of July I thought of my business name and started all the things that go along with starting a business. September, October, and November I have no idea where they went....honestly it is even all a blur so I cant talk about it...I know sometime in there I had my little Easton for a whole weekend, which was so much fun, plus Tina and Easton came down for Halloween. I also started a new job at the end of November, which by the way is going fannnntastically :) but the rest is all smashed around in my head, with working and ordering rentals, and planning.
December was a really good month. We were in Calgary for my Christmas party, then we had Tina's 30th, then it was CHRISTMAS! I get so spoiled every year and I just love my family and friends so very much! I love giving gifts to people and watching their expressions so Christmas is always one of my favorite holidays!
So in conclusion 2010 was an all around pretty great year...but I know 2011 will only be better. I hope you all had a great year too!
