Sarah's WEDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you, this was one fantastic shin-dig. If I get married, I only hope it can be as un-awkward as Sarah and Mike's wedding. (And hopefully, I can serve just as nice food. Yum.) Picture time!





This is Sarah and her friends looking around and thinking, 'Wow, there's a lot of people here considering neither Sarah or Mike get out too much. Who knew being a homebody could bring forth such a great crowd of peeps?"





This is Jess and Sarah's sister, Julia. Julia was hilarious as usual, and Jess was wearing hot red shoes. And Julia, for some reason, looks like she's had too-too many drinks. =)




Us relaxing on top of 10 Younge Street, one of the building right by the lake. Well, everyone is relaxing except Sarah, you know how many smiley pictures she had to take? =) Surrounded by Chris and Briana.





Of course, I got a picture with her, as well. Dig my new haircut? Aren't we great together? Can you tell Sarah isn't even looking at the camera? =D




I love this picture of Briana and Chris. It shows the quirky side of Briana and the taller side of Chris. Nice candid, dudes.





This is Sarah, Mr. DeDecker (who commanded me to refer to him as 'Ed'), and Julia. Aren't they great together? Mr. DeDecker is a scream, by the way. Really fantastic guy, you can tell why Sarah and Julia are so great because of him and Mrs. Dedecker.





"What's that Brennan, you're going to put all the wedding pics on your BLOG? No way!" Yes way, Sarah. Yes. Way.





Mr. Dedecker during one of several VERY short speeches. He made a couple of really good jokes. Mrs. Dedecker is standing right next to him.





Sarah gives a speech on the behalf of her and Mike. You can tell she's trying not to tear up. It was really sweet.




Sarah and Mike finish their speech, and stand their while everyone claps. It was also a short, but very beautiful speech.







They then cut the cake. As you can see, someone decided to rearrange the position of the bride, who was supposed to be cutting the cake. I still think it's cute in a morbid kind of way.





Mrs. Dedecker plays the piano. It was followed by Briana on guitar, but I don't have pictures of that because I was part of the, er, dancing section of the song. It's a long story. I definitely did the twist several times during the eve, however.


After all the festivities, I waved goodbye to Sarah, as I went home to sleep before working early, and she went to enjoy the party before taking a flight to the UK for a week.

Congrats, Sarah and Mike. You're both really great.

General Life Update, Part 1

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would let you know what I was doing, since it's been a while since I've posted. I've just been so busy I can hardly find time to do anything these days except the basics. So here we go, there's more on the way once I have a place of my own, which I should know by tomorrow or the end of the week at the latest. Hopefully by tomorrow-ish.








This is where I work, at St. Mike's. It's a pretty nice place, and the people there are a lot nicer than I expected. It reminds me a lot of STM (an affliated college connected to the U of S back in SK) in a lot of ways. The people are friendly, there's a nice cultural bubble that makes you feel like you belong there, and every now and then people bring you a muffin or something. Maybe I'll post pictures of who I work with, a little later.





Just a picture of the sign. I took a picture of this the day before I went in for my interview. I thought it was a nice looking sign and all.


When I got here, Sarah had a party and invited a few of her friends.




This is Jess, whose name I forget on a regular basis, which is really embarrassing, and I keep thinking her name is Kelly, and then I do this mental walk-a-round from Kelly, to Seth, to Beth, and then I think it sort of sounds like Beth for about a minute, and then I remember her name.

Seriously losing my mind.

Anyways, she's really nice, and we get along quite well, I think. Nice girl.




This is all the fancy food Sarah made. I have a bunch more pictures on my phone, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to link up my phone to my computer. I thought I knew, but then I realized I had some accessories to my cell phone which I am not sure were supposed to be with it, so I will have to go back to the Telus store and talk to them. I'll probably come in there after having spent an unfortunate amount of dollars. =( They're really good at selling things, and I am SUCH a sucker. Sigh.




This is Sarah with her two best girlfriends, Katy and...Andrea??? Something like that. Anyways, we had a fantastic dinner made by Sarah, and we all had a really fun time.





During some part of the evening, Mike (Sarah's fiancee) decided to jam on one of his many guitars. Looking studly, Mike.





Sarah and Mike couldn't be here today, though, because they had to go to a cousin's wedding, which is why I have time to blog this evening. Sarha's hair is doing this new french-like thing, so she's looking great, and Mike dressed up really nice for the wedding as well. And no, Sarah isn't wearing a bright red skirt...it's just her very french coat that goes with her very french hairstyle. Even though she's technically Belgian-esque in heritage, she seems to have that frenchy hairstyle that is popular of late. I must admit, it looks really nice on her.

Sigh, other than that, my life HAS been eventful, but I have been so busy trying to get a place for the start of Oct. that I am just losing it, and I have had some trouble getting a place, or getting a place where it's roommates that I would like to have, or in a neighbourhood that I like, or at a price that I like. I don't want to move in by myself, and as long as my new roommates aren't crazy people (which there seems to be a lot of here) I think I'll be fine. I have been staying with Mike and Sarah for the last week, but like I said, hopefully I'll have a new place very soon, and it will all work out, and life will be grand, etc. etc.

OK, well that is all for right now, but I'll keep you all posted.
