365 days ago I walked down the aisle to marry my dream man…..and wow, has the time flown by!!  This is a HUGE thank-you to my man for being so patient  and loving with me for the past year.  Thank-you for always loving my supper and eating everything I made this year!  Thank-you for always cleaning up after I make supper (MAJOR points!!) Thank-you for painting me a pink room and giving that room to me to use for a closet.  Thank-you for turning the volume down when I go to bed at 10pm….orrr 9:30pm….orrr 9:00pm.   Thank-you for letting me decorate with candy and cupcakes.  Thank-you for believing in me. Thank-you for encouraging me to make my dreams realities.  Thank-you for loving me

Those of you who know me know i’m the farthest thing from domestic….and my Facebook friends may recall some of my triumphs as a self proclaimed “undomestic goddess”: my first casserole, my pink Christmas tree, my first apron (it was pink, of course), my flower pots (that my sister planted for me and I forgot to water, so I guess that wasn’t really a triumph).  I still have lots of room for improvement in this category….and I’ve set some “domestic goals” for our second year of marriage….yes, I set goals, it’s the figure skater in me, I will forever set goals!

Operation: Domestication of Becky:  Year 2 Goals

• Bake more stuff – I only baked three times this past year….a cake (from a mix), sugar cookies and peanut butter cookies. I’d probably bake more if I worked less, so i’m going to try and manage my schedule a little better this year too!  Specific things I’m going to bake this year:  Cinnamon buns, lots of cookies (cuz Chris loves cookies), my moms famous chewy brownies and fancy sugar cookies for every major holiday!
• Make lasagna – I was all about the 3 ingredient Campbell’s recipe’s this year….I was way more successful than I thought I’d be, but i’m gonna step it up this year
• Grocery shop more – I HATE grocery shopping, I’ve hated it since the moment I moved out at 18 and I always leave it till the last possible moment, so I’m going to try and change that this year…..or convince Chris he should do the grocery shopping.Lol.
• Clean up that pink room Chris painted me.

Here’s to year two babe!  Love you!!!

Some pics of the wedding day from Red Photo Co!

So my sister had a milestone birthday this year….I won’t tell you what milestone though because it’s not polite to tell a woman’s age

Growing up my sister and I had a volatile relationship….one minute we were playing Barbies happily in our “Barbie room” (yes, we had so many we needed a room to house their little world) and the next minute someone was biting someone’s arm (usually it was me doing the biting), then there was usually a storm out leaving someone playing Barbies alone, which was not that much fun so we’d patch things up and by the next day we’d be playing together again.  Years later we don’t bite, hit or scratch each other and we are the best of friends!

Saturday night all my cousins and my sisters best friends went over to her place to celebrate and since it was such a special birthday this year I decided she needed a very special cake!  So I called on Meghan of Meghan’s Cakes & Cookies and asked her to work her magic!  And boy, did she ever!  All of last week I was bugging my sister about the secret cake I had ordered.  I told her it was a cake of a dog….and my sister is terrified of dogs (even more than I am!).  Te he.  But I would never order her a cake of a dog, in reality I ordered her a cake of something I KNEW without a DOUBT that she would love.  Proof that I was so bang-on with this cake was something that she said to me the day before the party “I think if the little girls at the party don’t want to stay with the adults I’ll set up the JEM dvd’s for them to watch in the basement, they’ve never seen her before and all girls should know Jem”.  The wait is over….here is the unbelievable cake!!

Her hair and make-up was SO shimmery!

UPDATE!  My photos are up!  Check them out on Coralee’s blog HERE! And leave her some comment love!!

Just a note to all my readers and clients that I will not be returning any emails from November 3-20.

I want to thank all my clients for their patience these past couple months as I have been preparing for my wedding!  Editing has taken longer and I have had to limit bookings, but I will be happy to get back into the swing of things full force come 2010!  Just a note about bookings for next year, I am currently booking into February 2010.

I can’t wait to share with everyone all the details and pictures from my own wedding!  After I got engaged the first thing people would ask me was “WHO is going to take your pictures?”  Truth is, that was decided long ago and it was one of the easiest decisions I had to make in all the planning!  The lovely Coralee Penner from Red Photo Co will be spending the day with us capturing all the special moments.  It really is a dream come true to have her capture our day!!  You can see our e-photos on her blog too!

3 more sleeps!!!

For all the photo geeks out there I thought I’d share this.  You may have seen it already, but it’s new to me and I think it’s brilliant!  Photoshop in real life..

This was done by the ad agency Bates 141 in Indonesia, and the actual set built was 7×5 meters!
