Wow! It's truly crazy to think that summer is already over! So much has gone on that I don't even know where to begin!
Dallin (my big brother) and Katie got married on July 31, 2010. It was a wonderful day and they looked awesome and happy!
I love this shot!
The Groom
The Bride
I love the canola field. It totally matches the colors!
Cute bridesmaids wearing very cute colours.
Bryanne and I doing the footpop
My family plus my mom's side.
The reception was in my parent's backyard. There were tents with pretty lights and it looked dreamy inside!
There was also a dance floor in the middle which was so awesome and fun!
Tim ended up MC-ing! He did an awesome job and looked pretty hot up there, I have to say.
My dad thought he was pretty cool with his "perfectly matching tie"
The cake came together nicely which I was very nervous about. I thought for sure it was gonna topple over or something, but it didn't and Katie loved it so I was happy. On the top I put the doves that my Grandma kept from my parent's wedding cake which was a little sentimental touch.
My Grandma and my Auntie Shari by the awesome candy table!
My sisters and I sang "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson which is a great song about loving someone just the way they are. My cousin Jonny is playing for us and my cousin Megan played the bongo drums.
The love birds by the arch-way that my mom's gay gardener friend decorated, no joke, it was hilarious.
The very next day after the wedding my family, Tim and I went down to
ECHO Lake my favorite place to go in the summer!
Echo lake in the evening...best time for a slalom ski.
Jumping in the lake after our run...
My favorite thing....wake surfing! I could do this for hours.
A few weeks later we went down to Southern Alberta, yet again, for the
Low Family Reunion at Payne Lake near Waterton. I spent tons of time in Waterton with my cousins as a kid and it was just like old times!
A few of us hiked Bear's Hump. Killer view.
The group of us who hiked.
The view from the top. Waterton town site. I love this place.
Tim, Ruby and I walking along the lake.
Playing Texas Hold 'Em at the cabin using left-over wedding gummy bears as chips. No biggy.
My Dad and my uncle George playing their bag pipes to honor our Scottish heritage. They were so good! I think my Mom is happy he's done practicing though! Those things are loud! Don't they look awesome?
My Grandpa Low giving us a lesson on how to make RootBeer relating it to how to build a family. It was so cute.
LOVE these three...
My Grandpa and Grandma cutting their 60th Wedding Anniversary cake my cousin Christy and I made for them. Soo cute.
Now we are back in Edmonton and Tim is in school. I'm enjoying some relaxing and getting ready time before school starts for me next week. I am going to miss summer very much, but am so happy that's it's been a great one. It's always nice to get back into a routine and to have a new fresh start. I'm doing one of my practicums this semester for school and am very excited to start. However, I am not excited about the weather getting cold and ugly again. I love sunshine and flowers. I love the smell of freshly cut grass, the barbeque and sunscreen. I love looking out on the lake at sunset and seeing the calm beautiful, peaceful lake. I love blasting the music on the boat while we go surfing. I love going for bike rides with Tim. I love Ruby doing laps in our back yard. I love weeding my flowers while Tim mow's the lawn and then admiring our work afterwards. I love going for runs on a summer morning. I love pitching my tent with my husband. I love everything about Summer. I'm going to miss it.
But I also am very excited for the fall....
