We are 18 days away from our big day and only 11 days from actually being in Winnipeg!
As per usual, things are coming together as we finalize everything and get ready for packing!
We will be making the big trip with our truck and our camper and Mr. Nixon too of course. I'm looking forward to having Monday off (Victoria Day) to get the camper loaded up and ready for the road.
It has been my goal for the past year to be ready for the wedding early enough that we could spend May Long Weekend camping with our friends but it's a lot of work to get the camper ready for camping as well as a trip across a couple provinces so we've decided that it's best to stay put for May Long which is okay too!
I'm really pleased that we are pretty much ready to go and that maybe we can have a few days of relaxing here and there in the next week and a half!
And as all this is going on, we are still extremely excited to board our cruise to Alaska! This is sure to be the best vacation we've ever had! We have just booked our hotel to spend the night before we leave in Seattle which should be great and we are also planning our shore excursions which we are both looking forward too! The camera will be ready and you can be certain that I will be taking hundreds of photos.
On the same note, we are also sad to leave Nixon at Freedom House for the week we're in Alaska but we know that he'll be well taken care of and he will have a blast and then when we get back, it will be just a few short weeks before we move into our new home and Nixon can start loving up his big backyard and suntan on the deck!
I should also make mention that this weekend we celebrated our friend Tammy's birthday! There were 8 of us ladies that went out for dinner and drinks at Moxie's and surprising Tammy at home, giving her about an hour to get ready for a night out on the town. Tammy's husband Leigh planned the whole surprise for her and she deserved it! She just recently went back to work part-time, has 2 little ones at home, has been dealing with so much with her family and is often left home alone while Leigh travels internationally for work! It was great for her to be able to get out with the girls, get a little tipsy and have no worries!
This was a picture taken at the International Brewhouse where we stopped for a round of shots before getting back into our limo!
It was great to get out for the evening while our men stayed back with the kids and dogs! And despite our consumption of alcohol, some of us managed to run 5km, entertain guests, clean, do laundry and still be productive! :)
