In 2 days I get to fly to Kelowna with Desmond and watch one of my oldest friends get married... not to mention I get to see some people I haven't seen in a year or two! It's going to be an exciting weekend, to say the least. Friday the 27th is my brothers 20th birthday, so there will be partying in Beautiful British Columbia. Saturday, not only does Kelvin get married, but its my best friend Amie's 23rd birthday. A LOT of celebrating to come this weekend.. so naturally, I'm jealous I can't be the centre of attention (kidding!... sort of?). I guess I'll give it up to the bride and groom.
Currently, I'm just sitting here praying the weather forecast is wrong. It's supposed to rain this weekend, and outdoor weddings don't particularly lend well to moisture of any sort. Here's to hoping the weatherman was reading the things he reads (I have no idea how these things work) wrong. Either way, rain or shine, I can't wait to see the bride and groom.
It's weird - so many of my friends are getting engaged, or already married and thinking about kids. It's almost like the end of an era - the end of our childhood. Some people say that adulthood truly begins when you graduate from college. For me, I think it will begin when I get engaged. That's the time when you start to begin forming your own family. I will obviously always be a Lowther, but when my last name officially changes, is when I think I will truly feel like I am grown up.
One thing I can promise I will be doing is taking pictures - pictures by the dozen. My new camera definitely needs a workout, and we haven't had family pictures, or pictures with Amie and Kelvin for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to steal the groom for a second and get a picture of the three musketeers at some point. I also want to get some pictures of Desmond and I, since I don't have too many of those either. Pictures, Pictures, Pictures. Have I mentioned that I would love to be a photographer on the side?... I really enjoy it, and plan to take some classes in order to become better at editing and finally be able to start a real hobby.
Vancouver is currently playing in game 5. If they win they get to the stanley cup finals, and they are currently losing by 1 goal in the 3rd. For those of you who don't really know much about sports (fyi I also include myself in that category) it's apparently a big deal.. you know, winning Mr. Stanley. Even though you have a chance every year, and it's easier than sports like say, soccer, where you only have a chance every 4 years to win the World Cup, I still figure it deserves my entire attention. So I leave you with another quote, this one from Canada's most famous hockey player:
"Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy"
--- Wayne Gretzky
