I just want to post about how proud of my mom I am! She has recently put up some of her work on Art.com, and I really hope she sells well there. She is also gearing up for a couple of shows this fall, including Scattered Seeds and the annual Manitoba Art Expo.She has also launched her new website, in addition to her blog.
Way to go mom! I hope you do well, and I am SO proud of you! I think she is on her way to a very successful year in art. Not only that, but in a few weeks she will be a first-time grandma! I can't wait until she pulls out all her art gear to teach her grandchildren.
We had a great time celebrating our three years of marriage. Ryan came home with these beautiful carnations for me.

Tomorrow, September 13th, Ryan and I will celebrate our third wedding anniversary. It seems like it was just yesterday to me, those three years have flown by so fast. The day we got married started out cloudy and rainy, but by the time we were ready to go and on our way to Winnipeg it had cleared up - and the sun shon brightly. I'll never forget how excited I was, and nervous. I have rarely been nervous in my life - but I just wanted the day to be perfect, and I was concerned that I might have forgotten something. My nerves were calmed the moment I got to see Ryan - in the lobby at the Radisson Hotel. We had so much fun that morning taking pictures all over Winnipeg with our photographer Ella, and her assistant Eve, and all of our closest friends and family. What a great day! The church was beautiful, and everything just couldn't have gone better. Everything was set up perfectly, the service was wonderful and thought-provoking, the music honoured God in our celebration, and all of the people there made it the most memorable moment of my life. I will never forget holding Ryan's hands and saying our vows. We had a portion of our own written vows, and then repeated vows. I can clearly remember having a hard time looking into his eyes when I said my vows because I could see tears glistening in them, and I knew that if he cried he would make me cry! I loved him so much at that moment - it was indescribable. I'll also never forget our first kiss as a married couple. After our kiss, Ryan held our faces close together and we just couldn't stop smiling at each other. To top off the day, we had a fabulous reception at the Radisson - I think everyone had a great time there. Our wedding day was truly one of the best days of my life. Since that day, we've had the good times and some bad, and have had to deal with some very hard things - but always we have come through it deeper in love than before, and with more respect for each other. Ryan, I love you. You make me so proud, and I adore you. Thank you for always helping me to see the bright side, for wiping my tears, and for making me laugh. I can't wait to see what our future brings - starting with seeing you as a daddy to our dear little baby. Where you walk in life, I will always walk with you. I love you! Happy third anniversary babe!
Can't believe it's been three years already...
