August and Wedding Tips from Moose Jaw

The month of August has ended. This summer has gone by way too fast. I turned 32 sometime in there, which was a shocking reality. Niki had a book printed of all our blog posts so far, as my present. It's nice being able to turn the pages, see all the pictures and what we've done since we got married. Speaking of married, we went to Moose Jaw for a wedding of our friend Colin and his beautiful lady Kimberly. Even though we don't get to see him much, Colin is one of my favourite people. It was a very fun trip. The hotel we stayed at happened to be the location of the last Peter Gzwoski morning-side broadcast. Which made me all sorts of excited! My favourite morning side episode is his interview with Carl Sagan. I strongly recommend listening to it. We did the Chinese tunnel tour. Canada was not so nice to Chinese immigrants, holy racist batman! If you can ever do the tour, we highly recommend it. Most of all the wedding was great, the way weddings should be. I laughed a little more than usual, as Colin is prone to make me do. Fortunately, he didn't giggle uncontrollable through his vows. Thankful for that, would hate to be at a wedding where the groom did that...*cough* *cough*
Anyhoo, sad to see summer slowly winding down. Going back to my birthday, on that fine day, we ate some super hot wings, saw a fringe show, and generally had a good time. My car decided to catch fire. Saturday had a nice, it was my birthday, visit with the Klassens. As my womb evacuation day was on a Wednesday, we had a get together at my parents on Sunday, where Niki made a chocolate/raspberry trifle. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My favourite liquor store in the whole world also imported some beer I had been requesting from Denmark, so I drank that. All in all, a good month. September is gearing up to be even better, with Lindsay(sis-in-law) arriving tomorrow, so I should get back to cleaning the house.
Cheers,
Scott

PPS - Here is a video of very special song being sung at the wedding. It's apparently a tradition. I would say it's the best tradition ever. Unfortunately, I didn't get the whole explanation on why it's a tradition.
