I'll send you all my love every day in a letter

...sealed with a kiss.

Good evening everyone,

If you have a few extra wedding invitations, you can send them to various dignitaries and celebrities in hopes that they will respond. Of course, they won't show up to your wedding but it would be nice as a keepsake. Here are some examples I found online:

Good evening everyone,

For the past year,  after watching the Royal Wedding, I've been looking at a lot of wedding things.

My favourite wedding site is: www.weddingbee.com 

 

If you click on "Boards" [circled in red], it has good information on all aspects of wedding planning.

Hi everyone,

Jon has complied all our dance clips from the road trip. Hope you enjoy.

We're home!

Good day everyone! Jon and I are home! We bought some peaches in Kamloops before we left. It just so happen that they have a farmer's market every Saturday. While we were choosing the peaches, it started to downpour. Fortunately, we weren't far from the car. As we were driving the rain cleared up.

Thank you for following us. We hope you enjoyed the blog as much as we enjoyed our trip!

Lots of love,

Jon and Lily

Kamloops

Good day everyone! Jon and I had a driving day. We drove about 4 hours from Golden to Kamloops. It took 4 hours because there was lots of traffic. It was interesting to see the landscape change from forest-filled to desert-like within the same province. We stopped by Tim Hortons to get a cheese bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese and 6 strawberry powdered donuts.

Icefields Parkway

I hope everyone slept better than I did yesterday. If you remember, Jon thought Hi Winnipeg was the worst hostel. Well this one is my worse. I could barely sleep yesterday. In fact, when I don’t get enough sleep, I start getting headaches. The bed was quite uncomfortable. Jon and I woke up to go to the washroom in the middle of the night when it was still dark. It was not fun. They did have little lamps but they didn’t help much. So when we went to the port-a-potties, we talked loudly and made lots of noise. I was stomping my feet and talking to myself like a crazy person.

When we woke up, we used the water pump to fill up a container to brush our teeth. I think this place is a hiker’s paradise but it was truly my worse nightmare. I guess I’m not the camping type.

We did have an enjoyable day otherwise. We drove to Sunwapta falls on the Icefields Parkway. It was quite nice. Then we drove to Columbia Icefield where we took an Ice
Explorer tour onto the Athabasca glacier. We went into this special vehicle that was designed to travel on glaciers. The wheel was almost as tall as me. The glacier was pretty cool. When the glaciers are blue that means that there are minimal air bubbles. The Athabasca glacier used to be close to the road, but it has receded quite a bit. The tour was very cool but expensive. It was $50 per person. I’m glad we did it once.

We then continued our drive along Icefields Parkway. We made so many stops along the way because the scenery is just breath-taking. We saw lots of snow covered mountains, turquoise lakes and canyons. Our first major stop was at Peyto Lake and Bow Summit. Peyto Lake is suppose to be the bluest lake in the area. Bow Summit is the height of land between the Bow River and the Mistaya River. Then we drove by Crowfoot Glacier where it used to have 3 “toes” but the lower toe has melted.

We are now staying in Golden at the hostel we stayed in before. It is quite nice here. I can shower, use a flushing toilet and not have to boil water to wash dishes!

We’ll be heading to Kamloops tomorrow. Then we’ll be home on September 4th. Have a good evening!
