A year in review

I liked lj’s year in review, so I thought I’d also do a year in review type deal.

January
I attended 3 bridal shows this month. Yay for free stuff! CT and I hosted an MBA party for my mom. As an aside, she’s on the fast track for her PhD, so she will be ABD (all but dissertation) by the end of 2008 and then probably another year or so to do her dissertation. Go Mummy!

February
Lots of wedding planning was completed this month. Flowers, cake, and musician were booked. Registries were set up. Also went to an invitation making workshop.

March
Nej came to help make the wedding invitations. They turned out amazing! Had first meeting (of three) with the officiant. This was also the month when Smokey had his bout of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. He is a-okay now though; we just have to feed him the special food that lowers the pH of his urine so that crystals cannot form. I’m so glad our little guy pulled through!

April
Went to a favour making workshop at Michaels. Took CT and mummy to a leafs game for their birthdays.

May
Rebuilt the deck. Had second meeting with officiant. That’s all I really remember about that month.

June
Another big wedding planning month. Met with DJ, reception venue, and officiant. Also got marriage license. Sent out wedding invitations! Attended best childhood friend Alison’s wedding. It was beautiful! Also this month, got the wedding party together for a (hot) day at the zoo.

July
Had final meeting with officiant. Had first dress fitting, excited that my dress fits!!!! Attended one of CT’s friend’s wedding. The most disorganized wedding I’ve ever been to; we somehow were not invited to the ceremony! I think there was a mix up with the invitations or something. Cheered lj on in her first half ironman! You’re amazing lj!!!!

August
Went to NYC with lj and nej for my bachelorette weekend! Good times! Also had bridal shower which was absolutely perfect.

September
Spent labour day weekend at the cottage and then nej came up to help fill the favour boxes and make the pew decorations. Then, GOT MARRIED! The wedding day was exactly the way I wanted. What a perfect day. CT and I then went on our honeymoon for 11 days (4 days in Puerto Rico and then a 7-day southern carribean cruise). It was an amazing trip, I definitely want to go on more cruises!

October
Settled into married life. Also went to Toronto with the girls one weekend and saw lj’s new house another weekend.

November
My birthday. Had several weekends of social gatherings this month.

December
Very busy month getting ready for Christmas!

I’m glad this is a short work week because that means tomorrow is Friday already – yay! My boss came in for the morning today, so I gave him my P.Eng. application to sign. Hopefully I can get it back from him today (not sure if he wants to review it or just sign it). I may be able to mail it off tonight! So excited to get that mailed off!!!

I found out some interesting news. Also on New Years Eve, there were about 4 cop cars across the street from us all evening. We knew that something was going down. Turns out it was an attempted murder! Yikes! A guy was stabbed several times and almost died! My mom said she was watching the news and our house was on it. Crazy! There has been a cop car parked outside our house ever since New Years Eve. It leaves at night, but is back by the time I leave for work. So, my New Years Eve drama continues…

The bathroom renovation has officially begun. Dad went to the house yesterday and took out the toilet, vanity, and flooring. I bet it will be all gutted by tomorrow at this rate, then it’s time for some dump trips on Saturday!
