Thanksgiving Weekend
It was, as Jeremy Hiebert might say, an epic weekend. It all started with Ryan closing the deal on his new business venture on Friday. He is now the owner of Golden Glove Incorporated. A company that manufactures and distributes knit gloves - mostly for industrial purposes. I am so proud of him, and I know he's going to do great!
Friday evening we had supper with my family at Kam Loon's in Morris. We were celebrating my brother Matt's 22nd birthday. Happy 22 years Matty! We then spent the evening playing poker at my parent's place.
On Saturday we slept in, and then got ready for the big wedding bash! We drove out to La Salle, and celebrated together with many friends and family as Greg and Sophie exchanged vows. They had a beautiful ceremony, complete with readings from the Velveteen Rabbit, and the Little Prince. Lunch followed the ceremony, and a great slide show was shown. We spent the rest of the afternoon there, just talking with friends. We then ventured home, took a quick break, and then headed back into the city to the King's Head Pub for more partying. There we were really able to sit and connect with everyone, and enjoy a beer or two as well. The background music of the Rowdymen added to the atmosphere.
Sunday morning we slept in after a late night at the King's Head, and then went to Ryan's parents' place for Thanksgiving dinner. It was an awesome spread of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and more. We were all filled to the brim after dinner, and just sat around like lumps.
We were blessed to have another morning to sleep in on Monday, but soon went to work on some chores in the beautiful fall sun. We headed out to Rick & Lori's for lunch, and then the four of us went to the Bomber game.
What a fulfilling weekend. I just can't express how great it was to spend it with family and friends. I felt I was really able to talk to a lot of people that I don't often have a chance to talk to, and it was so nice to connect with others that we hadn't seen in a long time. What a blessing.
Something to be very thankful for indeed.

Epic weekend indeed.
I must be overusing the word, though...people are starting to tease me about it.
Wow~!
Sounds like a blast! You have an eye for design and photography.
One of these days, I'm gonna hafta to visit your neck of the woods! It'll be a refreshing change from city life. Me and the Queen need a break.
A.Run - You know you'd be totally welcome! I'd give you the best weekend you've had in years - prairie style!
