Well we’ve been in the house now for four days. I’m sooooooooo in love with it. It’s the most amazing house ever. AND the bedroom is super dark, so i’ve been sleeping in until at least 10 everyday!!!!!!!! This is a huge deal, because the last two places we lived had floor to cieling windows and woke me up every morning at like 6. It feels great!

We had an impromptu semi house warming get together last night. Brian and I were talking and we thought it would be nice to invite his family over to see the place. So they all came over last night, it was amazing. So much room, and people were using all the rooms. It was great. It feels so much more like home now, that we had all those people over.

Also, it was pretty funny… we were like 25% unpacked at 2pm when we found out everyone was coming. (We didn’t expect everyone to come over. We hoped they would, but we weren’t sure. Then we found out everyone was gonna come). So we got home and unpacked like no one’s ever unpacked before. We cleaned, and threw things in places… it was chaos. I didn’t see Brian for like 4 hours he was downstairs I was upstairs, cleaning as much as was totally possible. Then they got here and we were done, it was like a miracle.

We also love the neighbourhood, so far it’s all just people our age, or a bit older. They all have babies or really young kids.. In fact as I type this in front of the BACKYARD (eeee!!) door, the house behind me has a door that faces in here , and there’s a baby right at it in a swing behind me. Super cute!!!

So today we have a wedding to go to for my cousin Richard. I’m really excited to go because I haven’t been to a wedding in a while, and this’ll be the pre-cursour to our wedding in September. I Just want to freshen my mind with what a wedding really is like. Take in all the details, what goes on, etc…

At 11:30 Anita Bellange is coming over to do my makeup. She’s possibly the girl who is gonna do my makeup for the wedding, so I really wanted to get a trial done. But I couldn’t find a day where that would be possible, I dont wanna get make up done just to go to work. So today is the perfect day. She’s gonna be here in 30 minutes! I better go get ready!

Well not much is going on with the wedding. So I should talk about something else that’s pretty huge.  We bought a house!  Well, we bought the house during our engagement party.. but we finally closed yesterday.

It’s up in Richmond Hill… pretty far north. We didn’t really realize how big the house was until we moved in.  It’s obviously way too big for us… but we’re thinking once we unpack and get furniture it’ll feel a bit more cozy. So far though (And it’s only been one night, so this probably isn’t coherent) it feels really big, and really far away.

The house smelled like dog last night, it was so gross.. we went to Sobey’s and bought a ton of air fresheners.  Also, i’ve never lived in a house my whole life… so I was pretty freaked out all night at all the sounds and thinking people were breaking in. I’m still super freaked about it.

Brian and I got ready for bed last night at the same time. We both felt really old.  The bathroom in the bedroom is freaking huge, with TWO sinks!  So he was taking out his contacts and I was in there too, cuz there was enough room.. so I was getting ready at the same time.  Like, seriously.. super old people do that. We felt gross. We both even acknowledged how old it was. Then he sat in bed wtih his laptop on and I fell asleep. OLD!! Who does that?!?!  In the condo he’d be on his laptop, then I’d just go to bed while he was in the living room or something. But now it’s just all wierd.

The house is really beautiful though, like it’s amazing. Our total dream home! We can’t wait to just unpack and start living.  We have to go buy so much furniture it’s crazy. We didn’t realize how much we’d have to get to fill up this place.

Leaving the condo wasn’t sad at all.. we both hated Dia. We waited three years for it, and when it was finally ready, there were just so many problems that we couldn’t stand it. But we put so much into it, like we put three years of thought and design and tons of money into it to make it what our vision was when we first bought it.   Today we found out that the new owners painted it white.. this morning. Like they didn’t even wait.  It’s so sad. I mean it’s not sad… it’s not ours.. but like, the beautiful grey walls, black bedroom, etc… those were beautiful, and they just ruined it.

Anyways, the house is way more beautiful than Dia could have ever been. We love it. It’s just too big right now. Like literally we have a whole empty room. It’ll always be empty. Once every single thing is unpacked, there is still nothing to go in there. I guess we didn’t need a 3 bedroom house… but it;’s our dream house, and at an amazing price, in an amazing location… so boo hoo we’ll deal with the extra bedroom.

And soon we’re gonna have big news for the house!  It’s a secret… shhh.

We’ll post pictures shortly!

Ugh I keep having all these wedding dreams, where either a. i’m super late and miss the wedding, b. the wedding starts on some random day and everyone is there and dressed and ready, except for me cuz I have no idea it’s on that day, and c. The wedding is “today” and nothing is ready. I don’t have a dress, band, food, etc…

These dreams stress me out, ruin my whole day, because I can’t stop thinking about them. Like last week I had a dream that I had to stay late at work, and it was my wedding day. So i’m rushing to leave and finally I get to the wedding. but the ceremony is over and everyone is eating. Brian is all “Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter” and i’m like “of course it matters! It was our wedding”.  Then We go up to some hotel to get my wedding dress, because I didn’t want to go sit at the head table in jeans and a tshirt. So I get to my room and it’s the wrong wedding dress, doens’t fit, and we can’t figure out how to put it on!

Then last night I had a dream that I was out with some friends and they ditched me somewhere by accident. So I called brian to come get me, and he did. Then we went to Eglinton Grand for the wedding and the videographer was there, and invitation proofs were there, but everything was spelled wrong. It was 6am, and I was freaking out because I didn’t have a hair stylist, or a make up lady yet. And the people that ditched me have my driver’s license! So I drove without a license to go find someone to do my hair at 6am and I was freaking out because I knew I wasn’t gonna find anyone. But my car was in a parking spot that someone parked behind! So i had to do this weird turn to get out of hte spot. Finally I get out and I almost hit a bunny rabbit on the street. Totally totally random!  Then I woke up.

I think all these dreams mean we’re totally not prepared for the wedding, like we’ve been slacking on planning because there’s just too much going on. Moving is difficult right now, work has been really busy, the weather is getting nice so we’re outside a lot, I bought a bunch of new toys and stuff…  so the wedding planning is on a backseat. Oh plus my school loan messed something up, so I’ve been dealing with that.  But I think we still have time, i’m always on top of things, it’s my thing.  But I think once we’re settled next week in our house… we can get everything back on track. Hopefully.
