The end is near...

I can see the light! Only one week until work placement and then one semester left until I graduate!!!!!

Five exclamation points is not enough to express how excited I am. After 14 years of school (including pre-school and kindergarten), 4 years of university, and 2 years of college I will finally be done! 

This last semester has been extremely hard. Trying to balance homework, my IPP, teaching dance, working at the Mint, and my friends and family has left me little time to relax. I found it hard to keep up with all of the assignments I had this semester, and I am definitely looking forward to a month without homework. 

I feel like I have learned so much but I haven't had time to stop and digest the information. It wasn't all bad though, I created some cool projects that I am proud of, and worked with some awesome classmates! 

I am really looking forward to a break but also to next semester. The three new courses I am excited about are documentary film making, live television production, and photography. I love taking pictures and making videos, so I think those subjects will be right up my alley!

Over the break I am going to hopefully have time for some reading, knitting, and practicing my guitar. My mom, boyfriend's mom, sister-in-law, and myself all have birthdays between December 10 and 21, and combined with Christmas I know it will be a busy month with lots of family parties! I am happy to have some extra time to spend with my family and I am planning on going to my grandparent's house for lots of delicious meals! :) 

I hope you all have a wonderful winter break and a very happy holiday! 

What a wedding!

My brother James and his fiancée Jenn got married last Friday and it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to!

The ceremony started at 3 p.m., so at 2:30 I made my way to the church to get ready with Jenn and the other bridesmaids.

Jenn looked absolutely beautiful. She wore a stunning white lace gown with a key-hole back and a gorgeous
train.

Before we knew it, it was time to head down the aisle. I was the first bridesmaid to walk and I was nervous that I would trip!

Everything worked out fine and then Jenn came down the aisle, it was a beautiful moment.

After the ceremony we stayed at the church to take pictures, and then we took a limo to the Legislative Building.

We took photographs there on the grand staircase, it was the perfect place for a wedding photo shoot.

After the photos were done we made our way to the Gates on Roblin for the reception.

The venue was amazing. It was a nice, comfortable venue that was just the right size for the wedding. We
had a delicious meal, tasty drinks, and heard some heartfelt speeches.

Then we  danced the night away! My boyfriend Jesse and I did quite the duo to Dean Martin’s Ain’t That  a Kick in the Head, and we’re pretty sure it was amazing.

I could not ask for a better brother and sister-in-law! I love them both so much!

It was a beautiful wedding and I wish them a lifetime of love, laughs, and happiness!

Wedding Week!

My brother James is getting married on Friday and I am so excited! He is marrying Jenn, a lovely girl that he met while working at MPI.

They are such a wonderful couple and I am so happy for the two of them. I am also so thrilled to be gaining a sister-in-law!

The ceremony is at North Kildonan United Church and the reception is at the Gates on Roblin.

I am one of Jenn's bridesmaids and I will be wearing a navy satin Calvin Klein dress, with nude coloured pumps.

After the ceremony we will be going to the Legislative Building to take photos with the wedding party. Hopefully the weather cooperates and it isn't too cold out!

I am in charge of the music for the reception and I want to make the perfect playlist. I have a pretty eclectic taste in music so I think the music will have something for everyone. I've got songs by James Brown, Elvis, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, the Spice Girls, and the Black Eyed Peas just to name a few.

I love to dance and I can't wait to tear up the dance floor with my family!

I'll make sure to post some pictures after the wedding!
