As it may have seemed like I had fallen off the face of planet earth this last month or so, I will assure you I have not. I have had a mix of good times and bad in the last little while. I attended two weddings at the beginning of August which were great. Amber and Mike were married August 1st in Saskatoon at St. John's Cathedral with festivities that followed at the Radisson. I have to say that it was one of thd fanciest weddings I had ever been to where we ate prime rib and were served individually by waiters wearing white gloves. The second wedding was Brian's friends wedding, Tim and Sarah on August 7th at the Forestry Farm in Saskatoon followed by the Park Town Hotel. Also, very nice wedding and VERY good time.(Picture is of us at Tim's wedding). Actually, Brian caught the garter at Tim's wedding and proceeded to throw it back....yes......and I am not joking about this whatsoever....Anyway, it has been a month and once in awhile I bring this up;) In August I worked a lot at the bar trying to get all my hours in to cover the student grant contract that I had signed. There was one week that I worked close to 60 hours and was exhausted and ready for school to start. It seems odd that someone would be as excited as I for school to start but alas, it was a looooonnnnng 4 months and was thrilled that today was my first day of school( always has been my favorite time of year!). I love the fall and being on campus, today however, you could not for one instance say that it was 'fall". It was the hottest day Saskatoon had seen all summer I am pretty sure at a whopping 39 degrees! i got a sunburn walking from my class to my car. The car was super far away but still...today was all about "insta-tan" for me as I had not really had the chance to be outside all summer. I went golfing a couple of times in August which is great because now I have more to talk with my brother about as he loves that sport and has played for years. On a sadder note...2 days ago my Mom came to the city for an angiogram. They had to put a stent in one of her arteries and one of her other's is 90% clogged so her risk of heart attack and stroke is extremely high. My mother has battled with diabetes for years and it has caused her many other health problems including partial loss of sight due to hemorraging in the eyes. The heart surgery that she had creates a situation where she has to take plavix and aspirin for the rest of her life and she is not supposed to take aspirin because it puts her at high risk for her eyes hemhorrhaging again in the future and losing her sight completely! Pretty horrifying news for someone who will be celebrating her 52nd birthday in a couple of weeks....
