August

Scott and I have been enjoying the cooling off of the weather this month, and it's been wonderful and relaxing. We are heading off to the Island at the end of August for a Homewood Family Camp on Quadra Island, which we are both really looking forward to. Ron and Bettyanne's shop/suite is coming along nicely, Scott and Ryan helped Ron and Cousin Ed put on the roof a week ago, which was lots of work (for them) and lots of fun (for us both). Scott just celebrated his birthday with a great turn out of family, and of course, Skeet shooting Burgers and trifle makes for a very happy birthday boy. Hope all is well in all your corners of the world!

the wedding!

Hey all,
We are now in Edmonton, and settling into married life. Thanks to everyone for coming to the wedding, and all the helo from friends and family along the way. The day was beutiful - we couldn't imagine anything that would have made the day better, other than it being longer. Taking photos before the ceremony was one of the best things we could have done, pacing the day and giving us time to breathe in between each stage of the day. Plus, we were fresh from the salon, so our flowers/ boutineers and the girls makeup was still perfect for the photos. The reception hall also looked gorgeous, chair covers really do make a difference. And the band really rocked also. Thanks for the great day and fanstastic memories everyone!

Update

Nothing new to really report. Scott had a wonderful time on his stag on the May long weekend in Kamloops, a big thank you for Matt for organizing it and all the attendees for making it a weekend to remember. Almost June, the big day is fast approaching. I've realised that there a few, crucial, time consuming things that i have been putting off, and I'm hoping to get those loose ends tied up in the next week or so. Hovan and Christine are getting hitched on Saturday, which means that Scott will be down for a visit. I also convocate next Tuesday, which I'm really looking forward to, just as closure to using my brain for independent thought... at least for a while. Just kidding. I'll try to keep more posted, although I hope not too much changes in the upcoming weeks and things continue to go smoothly.

Plans so far..

Everything is going really smoothly right now, a little too smoothly. The response to the invitations has been really positive and RSVPs are rolling in. Scott and I just spent the weekend in Vancouver visiting his wonderful extended family, although they are all so close, it's hard to call them "extended". There was a big dinner on Saturday night in celebration of his maternal Grandfather's 90th birthday. It was fabulous, and a good prelude to what June 30th will be like, if all goes well. I keep having the horrible sense that the numbers I'm compling will never be right. We are doing a plated dinner, so it'll be really tough to re-organize everything if we have extra people, like children or dates that I was unaware of. Numbers are looking really tight so far, there are many other people that I would love to invite, but the occasion really is family first, and then a few close friends. I'm starting to put together a seating plan for those that have told me they are coming (prime seating for the keen and considerate :D), and I can really see how things are going to come together. It looks like it will be a party to remember though, and one that both Scott and I will have a hard time leaving. I'm almost finished exams, so the blog will be updated more frequently, and as the date gets closer, I'm sure I will have more pertinent things to say rather than paranoid ramblings.

Welcome to Scott and Niki's Blog

I thought I would try this as an attempt to get into the whole interactive-internet experience, and hopefully as a useful place for friends and family to view pictures and ask questions! I'll try to check this regularly, and as informative as possible!
