Victoria, British Columbia....AMAZING!!





My sister in law got married this weekend in Victoria. Oh my goodness!! It was absolutely amazingly beautiful! I don't think you can fully prepare yourself for the beauty. You let a little Vegas girl like me out like this and I just can't get enough. Traveling the world, well once I find money some day, HERE I COME!! We took a ferry over to the island. What a beautiful ride with such amazing scenery. From the minute you step foot off of your airplane the air just feels beautiful on your face. I don't even know if you can explain it. It's like gentle gusts all day long. AHH!! Just thinking about it sends me to a different place in my mind. Then we went to the castle where the wedding party was staying. What BEAUTIFUL grounds!! Flowers everywhere!! Flowers that here in the states we pay almost 7 dollars a stem for grow in every ones front yards! I just loved to walk, with my husband of course, down the streets, and the piers, anywhere that we could. You almost don't want to drive in your car. There is no wonder you don't see any fat Canadians! The wedding was beautiful. Very different, but beautiful. I guess when you get a little Mormon girl like me to a regular wedding it just feels like a giant party! You always have a good time at a party especially a party with a beautiful girl dressed in a white dress and a handsome guy both super happy together. It was an amazing time and I could say so much more. Like tell you about the giant jelly fish or the amazing street bands, or the Parliament building lit with white lights at night and the huge boats off the wharf....BUT.... I will just try to learn how to post a slide show so you can see all of it for yourselves. We can't wait to go back!!

Party Time!! Excellent!!!





It is so much fun being married to someone so great! He really does understand me, well most of the time. :) I had a great week last week. I went one day to St. George just for a day trip. Got to spend some time with my mom canning tomatoes and then spent some time with my baby sister, which is always nice, and her three adorable little boys. They love their aunt Meg and she loves them right back! Then on Friday when I got off I wanted to be spontaneous. I asked Dean if we could just hop in the car on Saturday morning and head up North to Lagoon for a day trip. He didn't even hesitate. We went bowling with some of his friends Friday night, drove up to my folks house in New Harmony after we were done there, slept 4 hours, and then we were off to a fun filled day at the park. Now Lagoon is not your high class amusement park but it we mingled with the white trash ok. It was a lot of fun and the weather couldn't have been more beautiful! One of the added bonuses to this trip was even though it was breif, I got to spend some more time with 3 more nephews, one niece, and a sister that I just adore and don't get to see that often. Even if it was just a rushed trip to target together that little bit of bonding time is always top notch!! Then on Monday my parents came to Vegas for the day and I got to go and shop with my mom. Its so nice when they come even though my mother despices it here. I guess it all boils down to I miss my family and any sort of time with them is time I love and my husband is wonderful! I have great sisters and I love spending time with all three of them. You know when you're younger you never quite think you will get to the point where you love them this much but I guess you always do! Life gets busy and you get so wrapped up in the, we have to do this, and we have to do that's, that you forget the fun. I'm trying to remember the fun. It's what makes life worth while if you ask me!!
