a swell season

Wedding count- one more down.

This past Saturday, my little cousin (not so little, only a year younger, but like my little sister) got a ring on it and was hitched. Simple ceremony and a dinner reception with a coffee bar a couple hours after (including a father-in-law who said "mawwage" Princess Bride style). Only downfall? 12 long speeches that made for the longest wedding I've ever been to (and this is excluding dances). Word of advice for all engaged couples: don't let this happen.

(Oh and apparently I'm not doing so well with posting a picture of me and my wedded friend/relative. Sorry.)

Another exciting event that's happened is the fact that my oldest sister is out visiting from ALASKA for the month! So happy to have the whole original 5 of us back together again; and when her hubs comes out at the end of the month too, then we'll be a happy seven (when my other sister gets married at the end of the month to officially add that seventh)!

I feel like I haven't really seen many friends lately (other than a few friends and me running into Eric, Cam, Jen, & Jesse on Canada Day on Os). Sorry! I work a lot of evenings (when everyone else is free) and family's been taking some precedence lately (but you all are still loved). I also feel like I've already mentioned how busy I am in a recent post... But it's TRUE. In fact, my room is in a state that I haven't seen it in since childhood when I stuffed every toy I owned on the other side of my bed when I "cleaned" hoping mum wouldn't notice (fail, by the way).

I think some busyness will simmer down soon and I can find some sort of breathing room (and time to do my other half of laundry). Don't forget about me!! (Thanks for texting me on Saturday Jen ;) haha).

On a final note: FOLK FEST this weekend. Actually- I've never been before, but there are 3
groups that I'd love to see: The Avett Brothers, The Swell Season, and Andrew Bird. I think The Swell Season will
be the most likely candidate, so if anyone is interested in making this little excursion on Friday, let me know!

Fun Fact of the day:
My friend wants me to take German this next year at UofM to go on a basically paid for German exchange for a summer or semester next year.
Definitely considering...
