Today is my husband and I’s 9th wedding anniversary. He is working today but I took the night off from my job so that we can have a nice little celebration. I sent out a few invitations to friends and family to join us for supper. While I was searching for these anniversary invitations online I discovered that you can get Halloween invitations as well. What a neat idea.
Hopefully the friends and family that we invited will be able to attend our little anniversary celebration. But if not, that’s okay too. As long as my husband, the kids and I are there, it will be a great night!
One of my best friends just bought a house and they are having a housewarming party in a couple of weeks. My friend has already handed out all her invitations I have to tell you all that I am highly impressed with the looks of the cards. She had them specially ordered from www.announcements-shoppe.com. She had this company make her up some Photo Cards with a picture of her house on them. These turned out to be very beautiful cards. She also told me while she was there she bought some Photo Stationery as well. So, the next time I need cards or stationery of any kind, I know where I’m going to do my shopping.
A friend of mine that recently left her job has decided to take an extra special vacation this year. She plans on going to the las vegas strip for Christmas. This really does sound like a good time, but I don’t know if I would want to go through Christmas. I think I would miss being around all my family members at that time of year. But since all her children are grown and live quite far away, maybe this is the only way she can cope. Well I really do hope that she has a great time and I’ve already put in my order for my collector spoon from Vegas.
Here in Canada it’s our Thanksgiving weekend. First of all I would like to wish all my fellow Canadians a very happy Thanksgiving. I hope you are all enjoying your little bit of extra time away from work. Hopefully you all are getting to spend a little quality time with family and friends.
Here in our house we are having our big meal today. Right now the food is cooking and in about an hours time we will all sit down as a family to enjoy our mini feast. This time of year is one of my most favorite because it gives us all a little bit of extra time to spend with family and gives us a chance to remember why we should all be thankful.
I’m thankful for my family and friends. How about you??
Last night friends of my father in law and his bride to be held a shower for him and her. Now when you hear about showers you normally think about a bunch of women getting together and giving the bride all sorts of presents for her upcoming wedding. Well in the town where they will be living, they hold what is known as community showers. The entire community (men, women and children) are all invited to attend the event. My husband and I were asked to go but because it was being held at 7:00 pm in a town an hours drive away from us we were unable to attend. My husband and his father were a little disappointed at this. But when work calls what can you do? I hope that they had a great night and got lots great presents. I just wish we could have been there.
This morning when I checked my e-mails, I seen that I had a message on my facebook account. For those of you that don’t know about facebook, it another social networking site. You can find friends and family and have discussions with them and basically reconnect. Now I don’t spend a whole lot of time in there, but I do have some family members and friends that have found me.
Why I found this message so cool this morning was because it was from a girl that I graduated with over 20 years ago. It was so surprising and neat to re-connect with her there. We exchanged a few messages and became friends. So now I can keep up with her day to day life and find out what has been going on with her for the past 20 years. How cool is that??
