Happy Anniversary to us!!!

June 10, 2009 marked our 3 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been 3 years already. For our celebration we're going to see Cirque de Soleil but they're not in St. John's yet so we can't go until June 28. However, on the day of our anniversary we had a nice (meaning expensive) dinner at The Keg. It was delicious!!!
We've come to the realization that every anniversary has been spent in a different city; year 1 was in Paris, year 2 was in Toronto, and now year 3 in St. John's. We're hoping to spend our 4th anniversary in London, England.
So to commemorate the occassion I thought I'd post our wedding vows, a wedding photo, and a photo from this anniversary. Our vows still say perfectly how I feel about Chris.

I love you! You are my best friend, my love, and my future. I pledge to be true and loyal to you, to support your dreams, and offer you courage through all your endeavors. I promise all my heart's devotion and a hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow. You are my hope, my strength and my inspiration, and I promise to be yours. From this day forward, you shall never walk alone. My heart will be your shelter, and my arms will be your home.

Toronto trip

I finally was able to go back to Toronto to visit my family and friends from May 30-June 7/09. That meant that I got to celebrate my birthday with them, which was an added bonus. That also meant I got to go to my favourite restaurant for my birthday, which is a long-standing tradition. The trip was great, it was awesome to see everyone again. With my friends it was like I never left, it was great! I sure missed joking around with them. I loved spending time with my family, and seeing how much my niece (Maya) and nephews (Zachary and Oliver) had grown. Maya is turning into a beautiful girl who loves ballet (she kept asking me to make movies of it), Oliver is huge compared to when I last saw him (he's now almost 1 years old), and Zachary talks up a storm. I missed talking with everyone, and just enjoying their company. As if spending oodles and oodles of time with my friends and family wasn't enough, Soula's baby decided to enter the world 2 weeks early so I could meet him! He is such a sweetie, and so very adorable!! Thanks Milan for arriving early so Auntie Bambie could meet you when you were 2 days old. I also got to meet Milan's 6 week old cousin, Maria. That family definitely has good genes because both babies are soooo cute!! My trip was definitely the boost I needed to keep me going. Hopefully it's not long before I go back, and hopefully then it's for good!
Birthday dinner with the best friends ever!


When did they get so big? (Zachary, Oliver, and Maya)


Zachary very proud of himself for wearing Aunt Bambie's shoes
