Wedding Pictures FINALLY POSTED..

Here they are after two long months...
Our pictures were done in a beautiful park (which I could tell you was part of the Veteran's Hospital, but it is NOT legal to take pictures on their grounds..... so I wont say a word)
My beautiful bridal party - Melanie (Ty's sister) and Maureen made the bouquets -they were perfect girls...much better than my one.tall.droopy.flower idea!
Ty's t-shirt that he thought was hilarious....
Some randoms that we played around editing - dont worry you guys will get the plain ones - we wont force our wacky editing ideas on you!

Me and Mary taking the loooooooooooooooooong walk.
Annnnnd this next one is what you look like after you are Wind-Battered!

HA... I love you girls!! I still think we should have all gotten the moustache shots!

This is my favorite shot of Ty... though I do think the trees to the right look like a big pair of walking legs and a ......oh HEY look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up and you'll find Rusty!




Please do stay tuned. We have an update and more pictures for everyone!!!

I know, I know.... A long awaited update.

Hullo folks,

Judging by my email-inbox full of "WHERE'S YOUR FREAKING UPDATES" emails, you noticed I didn't have my computer this week.

This might have to be a two parter as we did allllllllllllot this week.

Monday morning we left for the Kennedy Space Center with Ty's dad Bob and Susan. We spent the afternoon there (the shuttle that leaves at the end of the month is already on the launch pad being ready-ied). We hit the beach for some shell hunting as the shells in Cape Canaveral are quite different than the shells found where we are on the Gulf of Mexico.

Then Tuesday till Friday we did the Disney Parks.... Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. We stayed at the Saratoga Springs resort - which is modeled after some of the resorts found in Upstate New York in the early 1900's. Very busy four days. (updates will come with the pictures - which are on our camera still with Ty's dad).

Friday afternoon we drove to Daytona Beach and stayed at the Hilton right across from the racetrack. Now it was a really nice hotel... so I was expecting a nice looooooooooong peacefull night sleep, as I am sure many of you would. So i'm fast asleep in my nice bed when about 1am a siren goes off and white strobe lights are blasting in my eyes - for about 15 seconds. Then everythings dark - and I've had a heart attack.

Ty basically woke up rolled over and went back to bed (his bed was on the other side of the room - so he didn't get quite the view of the strobe lights)... meanwhile i'm panicking thinking, maybe thats the Florida Sign for Tornado and we're about to die.... And after about 15 minutes of searching for the reasoning and Ty telling me to go back to bed, I finally fell back asleep............

30 minutes later..............S I R E N and FREAKING STROBE LIGHTS......................

Apparently if you have the air conditioning on to high down here ( I know most of you don't believe I'd sit in an air conditioned room) it sets off the fire-alarms. LESSON LEARNED... ( THATS WHY NICOLE CONTROLS THE THERMOSTAT!)

But... I think the hot tub is calling my name, so I will finish this later or tomorrow with pictures. I hope alls well back home, and i'll see some of you in the next few days.

Rest Easy...The RING HAS BEEN PURCHASED!

Ha ha...for those who know us well you know ALL about the ring dilema. Well, no more my friends... I won't be posting a picture of it just yet... I think it's better to be surprised about some things. So I guess I won't be borrowing Maureen's rings after all! Ha ha ha.... Oh and I should note, in true Nicole fashion we did end up buying the FIRST ring(s) I tried on. Ha - I don't know why I don't just trust myself and save the time and always just buy the first thing. I NEVER find anything I like better by waiting.

Today was a day of shopping, so no pictures. We actually spent just about all day shopping AND it was hot out (very unusual for any of us to give up a bit of sun for any reason), but we did get some great deals.

Ty's dad and Susan get here tomorrow night and we're going touring around with them for a few days to see some sights (so those days we should have some great pictures), but I think
We also dropped Ty's suit and my DRESS off at the cleaners - boring information for some, but IMPORTANT facts for others.


Still no "Tree's" Joce... But then again, if I had a tree that looked like that I'd probably hide it pretty well too. I'm thinking I might just print out a picture and take it around - its a hard tree to describe seriously to someone. (the closest thing i've seen are some dudes on the beach - but that'd be an awkward picture to request...let me know what you think).

*There was NO RANDOM act's of Lettucing today........ The joke is still not that funny.....

Day 2 Already!

Wow...Time sure flies by when your having a good time!!! And let us tell you.. It has been great so far!! The weather has been HOT - such a nice break after the loooooooongest and colddddddddddest winter EVER!!! (I do get some weird looks sitting in the hot tub when it 90 degree's out... but it's just so nice to finally be warm!!

*DISCLAIMER - NO SPELL CHECKING WILL BE DONE -SORRY CHRISTA!! BAD GRAMMER ALERT!


Wednesday we were disappointed to wake up to rain/snow in Tofield... quite cold and miserable... But the cold was soon a distant memory. The flight was quick from Edmonton to Minneapolis - we had awesome seats - huge plush chairs... very posh. Upon arriving in Minneapolis we discovered we didn't have as long of a walk as we had thought - that airport is HUGE; and we only had 25 minutes from landing till our next flight, so by the time we arrived at our next gate they were boarding 1st class already. And we ran into Mary, my mom and a couple of the friends - the bloody liars had told us they were coming a day later - NICE JOB to those of you who had anticipated the surprise!

We got to the condo about 12:30 to find the complex all locked up - and of COURSE there was NO one on their patio's and all the lights were off - apparently early to bed, early to rise is a true statement here! Anyways after about 15 minutes of trying to break in using a credit card and trying to guess the code for the key-lock( yes we were desperate, and NO the COP had no luck breaking in), we found a 24 hour help line and they gave us the password for the key-lock.
DISASTER AVERTED!

*NOTE TO SELF - NO ALCOHOL SOLD AFTER MIDNIGHT AT THE CIRCLE K.

Thursday was spent basking in the sun by the pool - 90 degrees of delicious sun rays...and I basked in the Hot Tub. And dinner at Shell's was EVERY BIT as amazing as it usually is. The margaritas haven't changed.... (is it wrong for Ty and I to try to find an American Husband so we can stay here forever?)... HEY if you tried one of these drinks, you'd want to stay too!!

THEN today (Friday) we spent on the pier fishing. Once again Nicole was the MASTER FISHERMAN - 2 years in a row. Unfortunatly the jerks I'm fishing with wouldn't take a picture of my two monsters... but I do have some to post of some the other people caught. A hammerhead shark some guys caught (note there are SWIMMING PEOPLE beside the pier...), and a Mackeral my mom caught. (I'll have to post the pic's later as im not sure where the computer cable is!).

No idea what's on the agenda for tomorrow - thats kinda the nice thing about life down here - slow pace and no plans....and lots of cold drinks.
