Sigh. Long weekend coming up. I'm excited. I've been fighting a cold for the past week, so it'll be nice to have a few days off. I booked tomorrow off as well, so I have a 4 day weekend. Yay. Of course, being sick means un-motivated so I'm not sure how much I'm going to accomplish until my head stops feeling like a basketball. But nothing cures a cold like a day on the couch watching soap operas! I do love Days of our Lives.
I was thinking of taking Cassidy roller-skating this weekend. How fun would that be??!!! I've never been roller-skating and I really want to try it. So maybe that'll be my adventure for the week. It'll be nice to spend some quality time with her now because there is so much happening over the next couple of months. Starting with.... Andy and Jana's wedding!!! Next weekend in Saskatoon at the Odeon. I'm so excited. I think they have it all done up like Cinderella at the ball. At least, that's what the invitations portrayed. Either way, it'll be a lot of fun and I can't wait to see them get married. My cousins are crazy right now! David and Lisa are expecting their first baby around January, Michael and Erinn got married in July, Andrew and Jana next weekend and then next summer, Chad and Kat and Lara and Bryce are getting married within a month of each other. Tons of stuff going on in that family. But good things happen to good people, I'm very excited for all of them! I'll post some pictures of the wedding when I get back.
Before the wedding of course is the big game on Sunday. How about those Roughriders! I managed to grab some company tickets to the last game and took my aunt, who is the biggest Rider fan I have ever met. I think I will now be her favorite niece forever! It was a great game last Sunday and we had amazing seats. 40 yard line, row 7, right behind the Rider bench. Cassidy loved it because she could walk down to the front and watch the cheerleaders. Aunt Bridget and I loved it because we could hear/see everything! Dave I'm not so sure about... He was pretty neutral all game. He's an Alberta boy, but you just have to love the Riders. Anyways, we had a great time and their big win just made it even better. I think it may be their year... finally! But being a true Rider fan, I am ready to say "Maybe next year."
What else is going on.... We're going to see Evanescence in January. That should be a good show. I love Amy Lee, she's got such an amazing voice. And I'm taking Cassidy to see the theatre production on Aladdin at the beginning of December. We're both really excited about that. Bret the Hitman Hart is playing the Genie! Should be a good time.
We're also pretty busy with the Volunteer Council right now. I'm co-chair of the council, so it's craziness right now. Coming up, we have a clothing drive for Inn From the Cold, which is a fantastic organization that feeds/clothes needy people and also gives them shelter through local hotels and churches. I'm organizing our Operation Christmas Child event this year, which is run through Samaritan's Purse, and involves sending Christmas gifts to children in third world countries. We've also got the annual Christmas Splendor feed the needy banquet as well. It's put on at the Telus Convention Centre and sponsored by local churches. We feed over 5000 people and hand out clothing and gifts to the kids. As wonderful as the Christmas season is, it breaks my heart because there are so many people who just don't have the luxury of being able to enjoy Christmas. But we do what we can.
Anyways, I have to run now. Have a great Remembrance Day long weekend, everyone!
luv,

Wow, great long blog. When you come to toon town if you have a chance you need to look me up, I'll email you my number. We were going to take Alanna to Aladdin (that was actually confusing to type for some reason)but then I found out it wasn't the Disney version and was a little disappointed so we aren't going. I love hearing about all the charity stuff that you are involved in. We've given a couple boxes to Samaritin's Purse for the past couple years. It's fun putting together little boxes for kids who may otherwise not get a Christmas. Two years ago I remember something in the news saying something to the effect of how it was wrong to send boxes to kids because it was them who was making the stuff and then we were just shipping it make to them - what a bunch of crap. Because of this organization they get a Christmas! Anyways, good on you!
Apparently you are writing just for me. I'm ready for an update.
