Shelbey's Adventures!

I am not one to do too much out of my comfort zone, and I thought Shelbey was going to follow in my footsteps...but much to my surprise she is getting a little adventuras side to her. While we were vacationing in Mexico, she surprised me and others by going snorkeling not once, but TWICE and swam with the dolphins. Being that she is 15, she certainly wouldn't tell you that she LOVED it and her facial expressions afterwards would tell a story that it was just another day and it was "no big deal"! However, I am here to tell you that as her secret mind reader (aka her "mom") she really enjoyed it and I am very proud of here for going outside her comfort zone and trying these new experiences. I guess she may not be just like me after all! And that's probably not such a bad thing...Ha Ha! :) Love you Shelbs!

Fun In The Sun

Hello everyone. Yes, we are back to the fridge now...and actually ever since we have returned the weather has been so nice here. You can all thank me later for bringing back the sun. :)

Our vacation was wonderful and our wedding was amazing!! It was a beautiful sunny day on the beach with family and friends. I really could not have asked for anything more. I got to meet Ian's sister Margaret and her husband Pete for the first time and I have to say that she is one of the funniest people I have ever met. She was so helpful with some of the wedding plans and we are so grateful for them both! XOXO All the kids came down and had a blast. Shelbey got to snorkel for the first time and loved it and also got to swim with the dolphins with my mom. So all in all we had a great time. Our second week was nice to have all by ourselves. Don't get me wrong, we loved having everyone there, but it was nice to see them go! LOL

On the other end of the spectrum....last week we FINALLY got the infamous email from the U.S. Immigration with the date for Ian's interview at the U.S. Embassy in Montreal Canada!!!!!!! I honestly thought I was going to jump right out of my skin when we got the news. His interview is April 27th and if all goes well (and as planned) he should be here for good the first part of May. This was a test of our patience and love and we have come through with flying colors! Can't wait to have my hubby home with me everyday and every night.

I have posted a few pics of our wedding day but will post slide show on a later post. Take care and be happy!! :)
