Mr & Mrs Shower

I was able to throw a small "shower" for this lovely couple. So blessed with the support of many people!
 The welcoming table
 A view of half the lawn - so many came out to show their love and support for Aaron and Hannah - so blessed we all are!
A photo booth I quickly threw together - was a big hit!
 A little side note here: this is a masterpiece for me - something I've been wanted to do for quite awhile, but anytime I have tried - had not given myself enough TIME! This right here folks (for those of you who don't know) is Croquembouche -  it's a french pastry which is made of cream puffs dipped in candied syrup and after it hardens it "cracks in your mouth" but the cream still is as delicious as ever! My great-uncle who has studied under different pastry chefs in France was there...so I was super nervous, but very excited when it turned out thus! Please excuse my enthusiasm!
A fun and random game - the guys made bouquets and then were judged - this is them posing for a picture! They all should be super proud of their work - it was so much fun watching them put these together!
And well couldn't help but share this beautiful bloom! I was so excited when I went out to the garden that morning and found that the peonies were in perfect bloom! Made for darling little center pieces on the tables!

2017 Re-Cap

2017 was an incredible year filled with MANY changes and experiences I never imagined would befall this little country 'gal. January - Started off with by returning to school (full-time) . In pursuit of me following my life long dream of becoming a Paramedic I needed to take Biology, Chemistry, and Math credits as it had been 6+ years since I last took any of the sciences. The Pre-Health  program at Conestoga seemed to be the best option, as I wanted to get my accreditation for  Paramedicine   at Conestoga College. Returning to school was quite the adjustment as I had not been in full time school for 6+ years, but it quickly grew on me as I got to know my colleagues and schedule. It took me awhile to re-teach myself how to study... it's different as an adult! February - Within the first week I found out that as a mature student, using my grades from the "Pre-Health" program (instead of my highschool transcript) they would NOT even look at my application for Param...
