Canada Trip

Last Wednesday night we left Wood River and drove to Hamilton, Ontario. We made the trip to help celebrate Craig Rathman's wedding. We traveled with two others and we drove all through the night and arrived in Hamilton by noon on Thursday. The bad news is the total hours spent driving was around 16 but the good news was the wedding was absolutely beautiful and the whole experience is one we will never forget.

When we arrived on Thursday afternoon we all freshened up and went to Hooters (classy right?). We enjoyed a couple of beverages and by the end of the night we ended up at the Whispering Walrus. This was one of the most entertaining pubs I have ever been to. We enjoyed the wedding on Friday, and traveled back to Wood River on Saturday.  We are both looking forward to Memorial Day weekend and a short work week!

The Beautiful Bride and her Dashing Groom

I loved the flowers she chose!

The setup for the head table was very elegant.

We enjoyed a four course meal and unlimited amount of beverages :)

The very cute and yummy cupcakes



I thought the groom's cake was adorable.

Cherished

My great grandmother has always played a role in many peoples lives. Whether it was her children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren she kept every individual close to her heart. I have so many memories of her traveling the long drive to the ranch in Burwell to help us celebrate every birthday party. She was there for every major event in my life and has truly been an inspiration. I feel so lucky to have had her in my life and to have the cherished memories that I will never forget. I am so happy that she lived such a passionate and cherished life up until God called her home. Although it is never easy saying goodbye, I look forward to seeing her, along with many others, when the time comes. My great grandmother will always be an inspiration and I strive to be as giving, caring, passionate, strong, and graceful as she was.
