So I was deathly sick all last week, shortly after my trip to Winnipeg, coincidence? I THINK NOT! HAHA. Anyhow, I just changed the layout of the page, so I'm sure you got a little yellow * in MSN making you check this out, figured I'd let you know why!

Alright so back on the blog train I go...

Since last entry I made a new friend, shout out to Stephanie, here in Regina. Bought brand new rollerblades and equipment and found some great trails to go for a blade on. Andrea, and Erin were in town for a management meeting that never happened but we still got some partying on at my house and then Habanno's! GOOD TIMES! Then I wrote my FM actuary exam, which I feel pretty good about, so hopefully in a couple months it will all be good, and I can apply to have more of my school classes count for acreditation.

Then Magic Regionals happened and I scrubbed out, and I must debate going to Ottawa to try and grind into nationals and continue the dream of playing in the Louvre... or wait a year...

Alright down to the main events! DOUBLE WEDDING EXTRAVAGANZA!

So it started with the pouring rain in Regina, that continued with pouring rain in Calgary. Got to Ricky's house, we (Ben, Brad, Roy, Ryan, Richard Sr., Ricky and myself) went to X-3 then returned to play some poker and shaft til 2 in the am. Woke up the next day, played a few games of cards with Ricky then went shopping with Heather for Ricky and Chelsey's wedding presents. Very fun and enjoyable expedition. Oh, the presents... they liked them all...haha. Headed home saturday night and watched the end of the Edmonton game with Evan and Robynn, had a great discussion about all sorts of things including his new job, X-3 and various other things. Sunday hung out with Bert for a good long time. Monday I got to see Rachel's movie, its spiffy and if any of you come visit me I will show it to you. Tuesday I hung out with the boys who play cards, ah just like back in the day. Wednesday was errands and visiting with Peggy and Kelly at the theater. Then the wedding season started:

Thrusday: Writting my bestman speech, get a call from Ricky informing me that my suit is not in Calgary, we arrange to have it sent to Lethbridge so I can be dressed up for the wedding. Drive Paul to his buddy's and visited with the Road Crew. Then the decoration of the hall began, and it wasnt even close to done when Ricky sent Heather and I down to Cardston. Good drive, then we got the guy to let us use the pool. Then Chelsey and Ryan found and joined us for some volleyball-ish sport. Ricky and Brad got in around 2 and at 2:30 there was a pillow fight. Oy vey, who really needs sleep.

Friday: Up early to hit Lethbridge to pick up my tux, which apparently no one bothered to inform Moore's in Lethbridge about, and oh yeah it wouldnt get there til 10:30am, approximately 30min after photos should start... so mad dash back to Cardston. Borrowed Ricky's dad's extra shirt pulled on my suit, had no tie and there I was for pics. Gotta some good ones with Cookie Monster. Then another drive with Heather back to Ctown, finished "wrapping" the presents and off to the hall for pics. Worked on finishing the slideshow, did the ring ceremony, receiving line, more work on the slide show, most awkward conversation of my life, had a little cheesecake, heard speeches, gave a speech, ran the slideshow, imitated a DJ. It was all good though! Then went and watched a movie with Heather.

Saturday: Return the tux, drive to Dead Rear, get dressed go to wedding #2! Hung out with Bert, Gina, Ian, and the lovely bride Erin and the handsome groom Jeff. Good times, good music, good friends! And oh yeah I caught the GARTER! WOOT WOOT!

Sunday: Packed up like a madman, drive to gift opening... hang out with Ricky and Chels... get a few overshares - HAHAHA! Fly to Regina.

And that is it... going to add photos to the gallery... hope you enjoy...
