Today is Sunday. Lately I've been feeling on sundays that there's somewhere I should be.. It's times like this that I wish I had close friends who were religious. But I don't.
Tim is not religious. When I say I envy the closeness and community feeling that just radiates from religion he brushes it aside. And maybe I'm only seeking that sense of closeness and family who isn't related. But shouldn't there be a reason why I keep looking at religion?
Isn't there something more?

Home made-sicles
Today at work was hectic, but very satisfying. We decided to make home made fruit popsicles. Since we had our new centre policy of no junk food, I had been sort of sad that the kids wouldn't get popsicles this summer.
So I went out and bought tons of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. And we mashed them up! It was so fun to see how excited they were talking about making their own. And when they finally got to eat them, they were amazed that they tasted so good and so proud of themselves for doing it! Yay kiddies!
In other news, I had my first voice lesson with Sharon yesterday. I was nervous, but feeling better about the state of my voice since that awful audition. (I swore I was a better singer than that!) She was so nice about it... telling me I just needed to warm up, and that I had a nice natural clarity to my voice. I like compliments :)
Later on yesterday we vaccinated Alice the cat (camel has - four humps!). She got sick... she wouldn't eat, wouldn't jump around, and was NOT herself. It made me mad at myself for taking her to the vet. But thankfully she has gotten happier today. My little purring machine.
In wedding news, I created a wedding newsletter, but no one wants to read it. They think I'm crazy... and you know... thinking about it, if I had heard of any other girl doing this, I would think they were crazy.
But we already knew I was crazy.

You know you need to post when...
You know you need to post when you get a phone call from your mother (who lives in town) and asks you why you haven't blogged lately. Ah, to live in the information era! The last time I posted was back in the end of March... wow.
This was the exact bench, by the way, where Tim asked me to marry him. I'd say that makes for an adorable picture!
My brother and his fiance moved back home in June. I never really realized how much I missed them untill they came home. I talked to Julie on the phone for an hour and a half without even realizing it! We do have tons to talk about, I guess. She's one of my bridesmaids :)
Since then I had a quietly celebrated 22nd birthday. I worked ALOT. I also finished my block practicum, which means that I am so so so close to becomign a fully liscened early childhood educator. Crazy.
I also had my engagement pictures done! They are absolutely beautiful, and I feel like I need to share them. My photographers, Erin and Biance (http://www.out-there.ca/) are amazing. I loved working with them.

Speaking of weddings, we were invited to four weddings between now and November. Two of Tim's cousins are getting married (July 27th and November somethingth). And two of his friends (August 8th and August 15th). Yes. You read that right. Our august weddings are a week apart! I'm going to be on wedding overload.
It'll be nice though, to get to see what other girls have done.
