Our House!!

So, here is just a little bit of what our new place looks like. We are renting a 900 square foot basement suite. New kitchen, new paint, carpets, and of course... all our new fabulous-o furniture!! It's nothing much, but it feels like home. We love it here in Victoria and I love living my life with Kyle. We still need a few more things, like a nice piece of art for the living room behind the couch and one for the bedroom and we also need a desk. We love it here....










Long Time... I know

Hey all... well by all I mean like the three people who probably read our blog and just don't anymore because I never post anything. I am sure that I will get better at this now since Kyle is working nights 3pm-11pm every night M-F and I am mostly working days. We see each other in passing and then late at night. We have the weekends though, which is nice.

So, where to start. The wedding was on August 19, 2007. It rained so we had to move the ceremony inside the church instead of in the park. It was so great to have everyone out here for the wedding. I loved having 7 girls stay with me in our (at the time) unfurnished basement suite, all of us sleeping on the floor with my cats crawling on us at night (I have two). I know Kyle enjoyed having the guys stay with him at the old house. All of the stuff leading up to the wedding, such as the rehearsal dinner, trials of all sorts, and family being here was amazing. It was such a help for me to have people here to support me and love me and make things less stressful for me.

The day of the wedding.... well actually. Let me just say, I got so stressed out and was extremely out of it from my stagette that I forgot to pick up Tara at the airport. After she sat there for like 8-9 hours, I finally came home and called her and got her to get a cab to the house. We both cried like babies, but we had fun afterwards. Tara, thank you for not hating me, I love you. The day of the wedding it rained in the morning when we went to get our hair done so we moved everything into the Church of our Lord. Beautiful church. The oldest church in Victoria. The ceremony was gorgeous and I was a little nervous, but really relaxed at the same time. It just felt so right to be there you know? Seeing Kyle at the end of the aisle was my favourite part. When I walked around the corner to walk down the aisle, this smile that I had never seen before, one of just pure joy and overwhelming happiness (or maybe he was just trying to hide his pain for giving up his freedom?) on Kyle's face. Walking towards him just passed by so quickly, the whole ceremony went by so quickly. I wish I could do it all over again and again because I loved it so much. When we were saying our vows, right when Kyle finished his and I was about to say mine, he looked at me and with a very romantic and loving voice he whispered "I'm wearing suspenders" and gave me a dorky smile. I laughed and then messed up my vows. So, when he was signing the marriage license I snapped his suspenders. Too funny.

The night just went by so quickly. I am not going to write much more about it. Here are some wedding photos, just a couple, if you want to see more, you can go to http://photos.christinacraft.com/Amy&Kyle.














It was great to see Teresa again too. I had not seen her since first year of school, but it was like we had never been apart when we got her at the airport. I love that girl so much and she has the biggest heart. Ashley, my maid of honour, got engaged shortly after the wedding. I would not have had anyone else stand beside me in that place, she means the world to me, one of the most beautiful people I know. Kim, my strength and my head a lot of the time. More than I ever could have asked for in a friend. The strongest and most courageous and smart girl I know. Eleni, beautiful inside and out and I love her, I guess I have to now since she is my sister. Nicole and Alex were here at my house with me too.... thanks goes to those girls for just being ready and able to do anything and everything that was stressing me out and just being there for support and encouragement. I love you guys so much. Juanita.... the house would not have been the same without you and Tara I already said thanks and love.

The guys, JP, Matt, Jesse, Aaron, Tim.... I love you all. Jipper I miss you so much. Life is not the same here without you. Matt, I am happy you are home for good!! Jess... I see you all the time... you know I love ya. Aaron, I know we haven't had a lot of time to get to know each other, but you are one of Kyle's dearest friends and for that I thank you, for being there for him. Timmer, love you and miss you.

Okay... this is long enough and it is making me lonely. I miss you all!!
