Canada	Wedding Details	QUOTE (missing*him @ Sep 3 2009, 09:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Im wondering how many of the Canadian side didnt have that many show up for their wedding in the states? When we were originally thinking of doing the K1 route, I felt so awkward knowing that 95% of the wedding would be his family, and friends... There's only 3 Canucks at my wedding. One of my bridesmaids, my son and his fiancee. All the rest of the guests, ( about 250) are Tim's family and friends.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-09-03 20:00:00

That's when I started to really get anxious. Have you set a concrete move date yet? Nope no concrete move date yet, I am getting really anxious though! Depends how much packing I can get done! Pics of my trial hair! I'm hoping that the stylist in Omaha will be able to replicate it! Nice!! I had my hair trial too. I'm hoping that I'll get some email pic's of it so I can post them. It's going to look awesome!! I have very long hair, ( almost to my knees) and it was all brought up with curls everywhere. It looked kinda Victorian. And my dress is done!!!! Yay. Still some things to finish up but I think we'll be ready.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-09-03 19:58:00
Canada	Wedding Details	QUOTE (Peachey @ Aug 28 2009, 10:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are doing musicians for the ceremony and then a DJ for the reception. I haven't read this thread in a while, but it only took me about 30 mins to find my dress. We bought it right off the rack (my dearest mom paid for it). Here's a pic: I'm not a size 2 like the model, but I think I look great in it. Alfred Angelo designed my dress too. Here's also our Save the Date cards. I designed them myself. They are printed on magnet paper. The only difference between this one and the printed ones are that "Save the Date!" is a little lower and I have our website at the bottom. Our website is www.mikenlisa.net . It's not done yet, looks pretty bad right now, but Mike's gonna work on it this weekend I hope. Pretty dress!! I love that detail through the skirt. We just finished talking with the photographer today. I think we're going to go with the bridal pictures that are part of the package. She was saying that here in the South, it's usual to see a large picture of the bride, all dressed up at the reception. I'm so excited. She does great pictures. Wow, 3 weeks tomorrow!!! We've been so busy ever since I got here a little over a week ago. Sure is different though in the South, than what I'm used to!! Oh well, still going to be a fun day!

Canada	Wedding Details	Huggles!!! Great pic's!!! I love the one with you up on the stairs. Very pretty. And the cake too. You both are just beaming!! How exciting.. Rhiann, I really hope things work out between you and your mom.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-08-13 18:18:00
Canada	Wedding Details	QUOTE (minnew @ Aug 11 2009, 03:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OMG 60 DAYS!!! AHHHH!! Still so much to do! I am going to be an utter mess during the ceremony. I keep reading over the ceremony that the pastor emailed to us and I break down crying when it comes time to read the vows. Even the scripture makes me tear up! I told my fiance about how I will be crying most likely, and he's like well sheesh if you really don't want to marry me, you don't have to...and does his whole impression of a baby crying.... (He does alot of cute impressions) I love his sarcasm somedays! I've less than 40 for mine!! I hope that after I arrive next week, we'll tie up those "loose strings" that we need to do, and then try to relax the last couple weeks. We've a big honeymoon coming up, so we'll need to get ready for that, as well as last minute details in the bedroom being renovated. I'll just make sure we have all the basics and then we can "pretty" it up after we settle into married life.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-08-12 19:23:00
Canada	Wedding Details	Chadlaure...you're next! (again).. but this will be the ceremony part for you right? And then,.... ME!!!!!!! 9 more days to move ..... Edit: Tim told me that some of his friends have received the wedding invitations. He did them up so uniquely and they've commented on how much they liked reading that. I'll have to get him to email me the verse again and post it in case anyone missed it. (or you can look back many, many pages and find it...) It's seeming so real now that the invitation are in the mail and getting received!! Edited by TimandJoyce, 09 August 2009 - 09:34 AM.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-08-09 09:30:00
Canada	Wedding Details	QUOTE (Hugglebuggles @ Aug 8 2009, 05:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We did it!! Hello from warm and sunny Florida! Despite a thunderstorm 20 minutes before the ceremony was about to start, everything was perfect! The clouds cleared and the sun came out just in time. I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get them. July- Can't wait to look at your pictures when I get some time! Hope you had a great time in Hawaii! How exciting Huggles. Glad the sun came out for you. You must have been singing Annie's song!! Looking forward to seeing your pic's, but for now, just enjoy married life!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-08-08 20:03:00

Canada	Wedding Details	QUOTE (Rhiann @ Aug 6 2009, 07:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How long are Honeymoons usually? 2-3 weeks? And we're probably going on a Hawaiian cruise for ours, do you think I'll be safe with that since it's still *Technically* in America? Tim and I are going on a 2.5 - 3 week road trip after we get married. We're going to go up the Eastern side of the States. Virginia, up to D.C, Boston..lots of places. I'm bringing my laptop with me in case anyone around that area can maybe let us know some good places to see or eat or stay in! We're also getting married Sept. 19th, so I'm hoping to see some fall colours the further North we go I think you're good to go for Hawaii, Julybride and her husband went there. As long as you stay within US waters. Not sure where you read up on that, but just do a little research as to where K-1's can go to.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-08-06 11:18:00
Canada	Wedding Details	QUOTE (minnew @ Aug 6 2009, 12:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *Crisis averted* With the help of the wedding coordinator at the church, we found a pianist/organist who is not affiliated with the church. At first I was nervous that this woman's fees were going to be more than what the church is charging. In fact it was $25 cheaper.....go figure Wedding bells are ringing for Huggles today! Good luck!! Where's JulyBride? Still enjoying her honeymoon I suppose! We want pictures!! That's great! It all worked out better for you. Sure feels good when certain plans just come together. I'm sure July(WIFE)... ....will be along when she can...	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2009-08-06 10:00:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Good morning. Congratulations on the GC Joyce! A fishing rod AND roses! Wow, you lucky girl. Enjoy! Hope everyone stays warm today and has less shoveling. Thanks for the coffee!! I love teasing everyone that Tim gave me a fishing rod. They look at him like, "c'mon..what did you really get her?" The funny thing is, I LOVE fishing. ( West Coast BC girl here ) so I'm very happy!! But yes, his romantic side sent me a dozen roses.. No shoveling here! Today, blue sky and sunshine!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-10 10:32:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	wouldn't you love to work for Pixar?? http://www.slightlyw...nside_pixar.htm ok I posted that before I saw Wyatt's post ..lol Oh that would be so much fun!!!!! Tim&Joyce: CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thanks!!!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-09 23:34:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Whoooooo had to come in here to let all ya'll know my GC has been approved and card production ordered!!! Just in case some of you don't make it to the AOS thread.... I'm so happy!!! I'll finally be able to get my DL now, which also means....a fishing license!!! It was my birthday yesterday, and Tim gave me my own fishing rod!!! Ok...he ALSO had delivered a dozen red roses, so he's still romantic!! I love fishing!! Grew up on the Island and went Salmon fishing lots. Course, way back then you could catch your limit in no time!! Now I get to learn fly fishing!!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-09 16:08:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	well to be fair Vancouver has to truck in snow.. , the Vancouver area doesn't really get a lot of snow anyways... and the snow is coming from Canada my dad says it costs 1000 dollars to haul a truck load full of snow... at least it's snow that says' "eh" I know about Vancouver. I lived in the Comox Valley all my life, and I've seen major changes in the winter. There once was a time winter WAS winter! But I know it's been rather mild this year, compared to the last few. Can't say for all of the Island, but I know the Valley had basically no snow this year. I think there was a dusting or so in Dec. But it was a green Christmas. I feel bad for Vancouver. I know they were looking forward to this for a long time. Back in 2003 ( I think it was then Vancouver got the ok) I worked in Overwaitea and had to wear a Vancouver Olympics t-shirt at work. Silly me...I threw it away after.....( it was kinda small, and I didn't have that much room)..	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-07 16:54:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Unfortunately I think it has a lot to do with everyone afraid of getting sued. They really don't handle snow well here - which surprises me because we usually do get at least some every year. You would think they would figure it out eventually. Those are some great pictures! Love the ones on the street. The snow is so white, and the sky so blue. Beautiful. I haven't seen any snow here at all Tim says that IF it were to snow in this region of SC it would be this month, but probably not very much. just talked to my dad seems like they could use some of that snow in Vancouver.. they are having to truck snow in for the Olympics.. wow, how ironic is that? Canada has to truck in snow	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-07 16:19:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Peeples! Vancouver needs more snow! We're in jeopardy of not having enough for the snowboarding and freestyle skiing competition in the Olympics. wow...after all that planning and everything. I was told by friends back home on the Island it was a record year for a mild winter. I hope some snow comes for those mountains! My husband's 10-year green card was just approved! Holy #######; that was fast! Yay!!! I have news about our house! After the inspection last weekend we decided to ask the seller to do a few things. The big thing was fixing the plumbing in the bathroom, but we asked for a bunch of little things too. Our Realtor said it was worth asking, because you never know if they're going to do it. So we asked them to put gutters on the back of the house (there weren't any...), move the dryer vent, fix some paint chips in the back, fix a couple broken tiles in the bathroom, fix the bathroom taps (the hot is cold and the cold is hot), fix the outdoor outlets in the front of the house that don't seem to work, hookup the dishwasher (it was just sitting in the hole), clean and service the furnace and replace the vent on the roof. I figured we'd be lucky to get them two a couple of those things... but they came back to us today and agreed to do it all!! How lucky is that?! I feel pretty relieved we aren't going to move in and need to go to work on all these issues. Now we can move in and just fix the little cosmetic things we don't like when we want to do it. That's great! Glad they were able to do all that. My sister had to do LOTS of work after she moved into her house. But I think she got it quite cheap.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-05 17:46:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	One day I drove halfway to work with pajama pants on. I would have said "oh, isn't it casual Friday?"	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-05 12:43:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I just realized that I am wearing sneakers... I must have accidentally put on my sneakers this morning. I have all dress clothes on and then... freaking bright blue adidas sneakers! How did I not notice this?? Now I am all paranoid, I don't want to get up. Just act confident. Like you meant to do that!! Could be worse; could've been your slippers....	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-05 12:18:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Oh geez. It took me a full minute of squinting at it to realize that. I thought her arm was lopped off just below the shoulder...kinda symbolic-like. Three limbs for three dollars.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-05 09:50:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I got an American two dollar bill the other week and I really did think it was a joke or a fake. that's cool. Tim told me about that. I keep saying, "well bring them back!!" My friend got 3 of those silver US dollars as change from the subway ticket machine in New York. At first she wasn't sure what they were! I haven't seen any here though. A $3 bill? that would help lots!!! It's always so funny when I look in my wallet and think, "hey I'm rich!!" only to find they're all ones!!! " Oh...only $10..." Thanks for the coffee Charles!! I'll say it's from that Canadian Cafe!!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-05 09:11:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I went and looked up a coffee image and thought I'd try to beat Carla to the punch, but got wrapped up in my work and forgot. Enjoy anyhow! Way to cute!! Also... I just want more money.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-04 10:41:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I just want to be 20 so much because well, it gives me that little extra bit of confidence for my interview. I can appreciate that!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-03 22:14:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Happy early birthday Joyce & Bern! Well the drug & fit test went okay this morning.. Went to HR.... I start March 1st unless I hear from them otherwise! YaY!!.... Crappy pay, crappy hours, long commute, but it's a job & full time & working with troubled young adults! I'm still waiting to hear about another job, the woman said I will receive a phone call either way on Friday... Day hours + much better pay, short commute + working with adults with SMI.. The suspense is killin me!!! Either way I get to savour these next few weeks of unemployment... It's going to be a complete 180 after not being able to be apart of working world since September of last year! congratulations!!! I can appreciate the commute part. But maybe this other job will go in your favour. I decided that the job I applied for wasn't going to be as suitable for me as I had hoped. Kinda too many hours crammed into the weekends. Ugh. Not good with still being just newly married, and living in a new country. I still haven't figured out a normal routine in my life yet...what ever normal is!! Oh well, there will be another one.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-03 22:03:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Happy early birthday! Excited? ummmm maybe not as much as you..ha ha. Actually, it was my 40th birthday I couldn't wait for. I don't know why, but I wanted out of my 30's so bad. Now I'm thinking, I didn't have those, "bones creaking, sore back" kinda thing going on back then...	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-03 22:00:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	We just heard yesterday that Honda is having a massive recall as well. Something about the drivers side door and fires! wow! at this rate, I won't have anything to drive when it's my turn to buy a vehicle. Wonder if there's a recall on 10 speeds... I'm finally 20 in 2 weeks. Yay. whooooo Happy early Birthday.. I'm finally 46 on Monday.. Edited by TimandJoyce, 03 February 2010 - 11:01 AM.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-03 11:01:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	so for my "new to me" car I am thinking of getting either some kind of Honda or a Nissan altima... 1995 or newer... definitely 4 door and it has to be automatic... do you think I could find a good car at a dealer for around 3000 bucks? I don't know too much about cars and prices and good deals, but I hope you find exactly what you need at a fair deal. I'm waiting until my GC comes, so I can change my license and get something for my self too. I've been thinking about a small truck or small SUV. ( if there is such a thing.. ) post a pic' of your new baby when you get it!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 23:27:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	http://www.ajc.com/n...cts-288864.html According to the Georgia weather prognosticator of the groundhog variety, General Beauregard Lee, we're in for an early Spring. He failed to see his shadow this morning. Well, apparently "Phil" where ever it is he lives in SC DID see his shadow... He can't live too near us..it's been raining all day! Must have been the lights on the T.V cameras.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 22:24:00

Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I hope I do too! Unfortunately back problems run in both sides of my family... My genes were doomed from the beginning! LoL! I need to find a chiropractor down here and also find out if TriCare covers the cost. I'm only 25 & I have custom fit orthotics for my shoes! awwwwww I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out for you. Most people wouldn't know what a second third anniversary was without asking first. I find it funny that you don't have to explain it here. LOL well, truthfully speaking I DON'T know what it is...so I'm assuming you did a civil marriage, and a ceremony a year later....*pure guess*	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 16:45:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	LoL! Do I want to know what you thought they were at first? Haha! Well....just a little term I learned from my late husband, who would never pass a drug test....*la la la*...	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 16:42:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I adore these confessions. Hahaha! Me too!! thanks trailmix!! I don't feel guilty at all anymore.. I wasn't watching t.v or anything, but uploading some more pictures of my honeymoon on FB... Well, that IS an important job too....right?	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 16:34:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Krikit- 90% of the drug testing clients that came in were either pre-employment or continued employment guys who lived in SK but worked the oil rigs in northern Alberta. The most interesting one was a DNA sample for child custody... Collecting that was a little hairy! I'm honestly a bit worried about the physical too, I have back issues! It's a "safety sensitive" job working with youth ages 9-17. That wasn't what I thought riggers were at first I hope you do ok with the physical part. Do your best!! I hope your back gets better too. I think your too young to have back issues!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 09:13:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Good luck, Joyce! Good morning everyone. It was raining cats and dogs here, earlier, but it's stopped now. I have lots to do, but no motivation. Oh! And it's my second third anniversary! I think we're going to the movies. Happy Groundhog day! Thanks!! I know what it's like not to feel motivated, especially on rainy days. It's doing that here too!! Happy second/third anniversary!!! world coffee! Too funny. I guess I'm still a little tired...I hadn't noticed that....	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 09:10:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Wow, had to read three back pages of this topic since I last posted! And such wonderful news I read about!! Mal, Tim & Joyce, and minnew all finding work! Yay! How exciting for you! Can't wait to hear about those jobs! I guess that will mean you won't be posting during the day now though. Enjoy your day! Mmmmmmmm coffee! Yummy coffee, Carla, thanks!! I'll probably still be able to post sometimes. If I get this job it's only 10-15 hrs/week. That's ok. I have so much to do I couldn't handle full time right now.	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-02 09:07:00
Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I am getting drug tested tomorrow and when I pass that, I'll have a 3 month temp contract with the courthouse. That's sounds interesting. Best wishes!! *hmmm bet you "pass" that test* Good luck with the job interview joyce! I got a drug test & physical test on Wednesday... Yay... Lol... The job offer is of course contingent on that. If I pass I start March 1st! Woohoo! Thanks minnew!! Glad to see things are going smooth for you too. I'm sure you passed as well	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-02-01 18:16:00

Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	Ok so I just had my first real "I miss home" moment. My best friend had her baby on Thursday, beautiful baby girl. My friend's mom has been posting videos on facebook of little Laura every day since she was born. Well it just hit me, that my friend is taking her kids to Sudbury next week and I won't be there to meet the baby and see my friend n stuff. It's so unfair that I can't go back to Canada right now . awwwww (((((((((((hugs)))))))) Peachy. I hate those "miss home" moments. For me they sneak up on me, and I become distant. Then I feel like I've made the wrong decision, and start resenting everything. Today for instance, back home, my sisters did the Walk for Memories for Alzheimers Awareness. ( We lost our mom in 2008 to it) I did the walk last year, but I really wished I was home this year with my sisters. Poor Tim. I'm sure he was wondering what he did. I haven't been very joyful for about a week, then it hit me today. Yeeesh...can't wait for this part of the roller coaster of emotions to stop!	TimandJoyce	Female	Canada	2010-01-31 22:51:00
