Hey peeps!

Greetings from the US of A this time! Currently I am in the state of Ohio, halfway between Cleveland and Buffalo in a fabulous campsite that does have Internet…..YAY! for that! So I have had the chance this afternoon to edit all my photos and get some up onto Facebook too!

So much has happened this past 10 days or so that it has flown by! We arrived safe and sound in Winnipeg after a long drive from Saskatoon. Rod and I got up at 3am to get on the road nice and early whilst the kids are still asleep, that way we get some hours done before they awaken. It was so very very exciting to see Ivan and Jolene again. The kid were super excited too, which was so lovely to see. We were offered to park our big RV at Jo’s aunt Marilyn and uncle Lawrence’s place and use their facilities. This was such a blessing….they had running water! LOL! They along with their kids are the nicest people and we all got along so very well. The kids certainly enjoyed their big back yard, and swimming pool too!

It was a rather busy week in Winnipeg before the wedding. The whole thing was being organised by family and of course there are so many last minute things that can only be done days before, but we got there, and there was no last minute stress which was good.

Seeing as Rod and I are / was in the Bridal party we arranged a last minute Buck’s and Hen’s night for the happy couple. We did a combined event and had a lovely dinner, in a private room at a restaurant…..we had Australian and Canadian decorations which made it fun too. Oh and we had some fun games for the bride and groom to be…what a laugh they were too! I took some photos of their night and thought I would share them before I get onto all the wedding photos.

Okay so first up we have the happy couple

The groom and bride -to-be

Here is Jo and I sharing a cocktail together….

Ivan and Rod’s brother Anthony and our SIL Jeannette flew in in time to attend too. Was lovely to catch up with them too seeing as they also live in Perth.

Also Jo’s brother Marty and his wife Erica arrived from Ontario that day, so they could come along too. It was really lovely to meet them at last.

This groups is Ashley, Jolene’s sister, then Ed, who is one of the Groomsmen, and Nelson, who is Ivan and Rod’s cousin. It was so nice for Ivan that these guys made it all the way from Australia for the wedding too.

and last of all a piccie of Rod and I at the dinner…you can see the decorations in the background too.

It was such a fun night, and certainly helped us Aussies get to know some of the Canadian crew as well. Of course a party with helium had to end up with some of this going on as well….

Helium balloon squeeking!

So that was a lovely start to the Wedding celebrations! I have the wedding post ready to be typed, which I will do right now….sooooo many photos to share!

Have a goodie everyone!
