I got friken married last weekend! The wedding was fantastic! Crissy looked so unbelievably beautiful. I even cried a little when she came down the aisle. I was pretty nervous right before the ceremony. Not really sure what I was nervous about though... Like Crissy sed in her LJ, there were only a few details that the hotel f'd up, but nothing serious. The DJ did a super job. I'm glad we decided to spend a few extra $$ on the music. After the reception/dance, we went to a rave that Donna was putting on. We got so much attention! People thought it was cool that we (the entire bridal party and a few others) came in our tuxes and gowns. So super high kid came up to me and asked if I had just graduated... heh. We took Jon, my little bro. He had never been to a rave before.. they don't have lots of those in Estevan. He liked it. heh.. I knew he would. :) It was just a perfect night. The only thing that could have made it better was to see the smile on my mom's face. But I know she was there and saw it all, if only in spirit.v The speeches were a lot better than I thought they would be... I kinda just thought it was going to be some people talking and some people listening. But, the speeches were quite entertaining and everyone was having a good time!! The best wedding I've ever been to! :P
I think we're going to have to have a yard sale to get rid of some of the stuff we replaced with wedding gifts. People were so very generous with the gifts. Our families and friends are so awesome!
I'm not going to work in Alberta any more... I called them and they said there was no room for me in the camp anymore. The money would have been nice, but thinking about it, I'm kinda glad it worked out this way. I don't have to be away from my family for 20 days (possibly longer) at a time. I was actually laid off from Alliance because my boss found out I was supposed to be going to Alberta. He said that he was going to be laying people off and he'd rather lay me off than someone else and then have me come and quit... I hadn't given my notice and I don't know how my boss found out. I hadn't given my notice because I didn't know 100% if I was going. I called my boss and told him that there was no place for me in AB and if he still had a spot for me I;d love to keep working for Alliance. Surprisingly he did have room for me to keep working! So I got to keep my job!
The stupid weather this weekend is dumb. I really wanted to go away somewhere. Crissy had suggested Waskesiu. That would have been a nice place to go. I've never been there before. It would have been nice to go somewhere. But I forgot that May long weekend always has crappy weather.
