DIARY // WEEKEND FUN
Just a couple snapshots from the weekend…sooooo I reallllly, reallllly want to get an iPhone but my contract isn’t up yet with my blackberry and my fiancé is trying to convince me to wait for the 5…or as he said it “I’ll get the 5 and then you can have my 4s!” HA, YA RIGHT JAMES.
Just a couple things that I did this weekend…
The gym Friday night killed me and my besties…for reals.(Our friend Greg trained us…he wasn’t even that brutal on us and we could barely walk yesterday!)
But we’re buying a pass and going back tonight! We’re committed to going once a week and then running 2x on top of that…wooohoooo! Hello OWDB (Operation Wedding Dress Body)
Church picnic on Saturday was delightful! I heart my church family.
I took my sweet lil nephew to gymnastics on Sunday morning. He’s getting oh, so big! I can’t believe he’s turning 5 in July!
Sunday afternoon, James & I drove around tracking down numbers of places for rent…I’m going to move into our place August 1st! (If you know of any sweet pads available, let me know!!!) Ohhhh I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to decorate this place that will belong to me and my HUSBAND!
We start out marriage counselling this Wednesday….sooo excited!
Hope you had a beauty weekend

DIARY // SAD GOODBYE
Dearest Diary,
So last night I said goodbye to a few things.. a hot dog, galaxy bar (thank you so much lauren for giving me that!!) & a blizzard…
The wedding is in less than 3 months, LESS THAN 3 MONTHS PEOPLE and I want to be in the best shape of my life… so I had to kick a few bad habits…no sweets, no chocolate, no chips, no crap fast food for the next three months! (except I’m allowed to eat cake on birthdays, and sweets at my bridal shower..I know, but i’ll go cray cray cray if i don’t have a bite all summer long!) James is going to hold be accountable, it’s going to be so hard (I literally eat chocolate every single day) but I CAN DO IT!
Tonight me and my besties (Rach & Thea) will be heading to the gym to be trained by our good friend, Greg. We’re going to die. Straight up.
This weekend is going to be a busy one..working today, cleaning my house, gym, working tomorrow, church picnic, art show, maybe oak bay tea party fireworks?, babysitting my nephew sunday, then church….yowza!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!
xoxo,
s.s.♥.
BAND
lo & behold…we picked out my wedding band out last night and submitted the order..WOOOHOOO!!!
My engagement ring is totally my dream..I am absolutely in love with it. it’s a very thin band with diamonds going almost all the way around with a big diamond in the centre.
for the wedding band, I wanted something a bit different..on my search I came across these gems…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY
1st photo..us at Trafalgar square // 2nd photo us at the Victoria Day parade
On my 23rd Birthday
my two favourite men in the world!
It’s my pop’s birthday today. If you’ve met my dad, you’ll know..he’s pretty freaking awesome. There are many things that are amazing about my dad but one that stands out to me is that I know he loves me like crazy….James said he could spot it the first time they met.
There’s something insanely valuable about a daughter knowing she is loved by her dad. I am positive that knowing he loves me has helped make me into the woman I am today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
Love,
s.s.♥.
SHAKE IT OUT TRIBUTE

thanks yemisi for sharing this with me!!
ps. would appreciate your prayers today! i need some extra courage!!!
stay gold,
s.s.♥.
