Crazy Few Days

[mtlfan]

It's been a bit crazy for me since June 4th, when I flew home to Nova Scotia to go to my baby brother's wedding on June 6th. I ran on adrenaline and caffeine from the time I landed in Halifax to the time I landed back in Montreal on the 8th.

 

There was much to do to prepare for the wedding and the wedding itself was beautiful. I can't believe the change in my brother. He's gone from a brat to a grown man and father and now a husband. Wow. And I get the coolest new sister-in-law. I got to be the reader (reading from the Good Book in French, yikes!!), music director and roadie, LOL! Who would have known a music system in a church could be so complicated???

 

Second cool thing (you girls will understand this) is that I got to dance with my daddy to the live version of Desert Moon (with Tommy's solo and everything). My poor father was pooped when the song was over!

 

Oh, and I caught the bouquet. Look out guys! LOL!

 

Unfortunately, my 99 year old paternal grandmother's health had been failing quite quickly at the same time and both my brother and I didn't know whether to hang around or leave, myself back to my work and son and him on his honeymoon with his wife. Our father told us all to go, so off we went. The very next morning at 10:30 a.m., the Good Lord decided to end my grandmother's suffering and took her to be with him. It's okay though, as she's earned her rest and the family understands why we won't be at the funeral. She'd kick our butts for neglecting our own families in any case so the decision to leave was for the best.

 

I'm back at work now, but my head's still whirling. Someone get me off this merry-go-round!! LOL!

I love the first one because Sandra looks like she's just gotten away from her dad and now she's saying, "Okay, let's go!! Let's get married!!" LOL! The second one includes my impossibly adorable nephew. :-)
