Dress shopping = Worse then bikini shopping :-(
I am a conservative woman. I like simple but elegant things. Although, some may call me a princess, I know that's just out of love sprinkled with a little teasing. So I set out to get a simple but elegant dress. You think that would be fairly ...
Day 3

Do I have to?
come home that is. It was very hard to leave Vegas this morning. The time went by in such a whirl wind. But we knew that's how it would feel. I was lucky enough to get the couple days off from work as it is, considering our ...
Letting go of the ring
We went to the jewelers today. I had to say good-bye to my ring for a week. It's very weird not to have it on my finger, actually fingers, yes fingers. I've been getting an allergic reaction to something in the ring so I'm constantly ...
The universe really does work in mysterious ways
For those of you who are a part of my/our daily life, you'll already know what I mean when I say that the Universe has been speaking to me. At first I thought it just coincidence but the more things that happened the more I took notice. You know ...
Travelled back in time!

Where to go.....

Exploring Winnipeg

Hello from Gretna, Manitoba!
Hey everyone I love! So here I am in the smallest town I've ever been to (500 people!). I love it here! The people are so cool, but most of them are years older than me. I guess there's only one other girl who is coming later today who is 17. Oh well, ...
