Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.

Thank you, Anthony Burgess! I couldn't have said it better myself.

So it's Sheri's first week as a married woman. Would you like some highlights? Don't worry I'll stay G-rated. ;) Let's start with I now sleep in the same bed as a man who is training for the sleeping Olympics. I kid you not, I thought that I moved a lot while I slept...I have nothing on this man...yikes!

He doesn't just turn over in bed he launches upward and then lands. Plus I think he was talking in his sleep and I kid you not, there was humming. My husband hums when he sleeps. This is turning out to be a very interesting marriage already. So he knees me in the back one night because of his launch and land turnover technique so that wakes me up. Then he, still sleeping, is talking and humming. Me...still awake. Then after the conversation and the humming performance he starts snoring.

LOL...oh my. Luckily this hasn't been an every night thing, but really I may have to go to sleep wearing protection...and I don't mean 'that' kind. :)

So in case you were wondering how married life is treating me, the first 4.5 days has gone really well.

Oh and about pics...I'll put up the 'red dress' wedding pics as soon as I get some. I'm excited to see them too, I hope they turned out. :)

So work...still here...I should do it.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

That quote was by: Mignon McLaughlin I don't know who that is but I like to give credit to whomever gave the quote. :)

So I'm married now. Honestly it's still kinda bizarre. What resonates the most is the fact that I don't have to go home at the end of the day because I am home. This morning the cat was very confused with the new arrangement. She loved it of course because I cuddle her way more than he does...but still. She jumped up on the bed and sat on my chest looking at me like she was saying 'okay what are you still doing here?' LoL

We're not in OUR apartment yet so it's still transition but heck it's closer. And wow I can't stop looking at my rings. The waitress we had for our brunch on Sunday said she could tell we just got married because I kept looking at my rings and Jonathan's ring was too shiny to have been worn longer than a day. lol

The wedding went fantastic. Although it was kind of bizarre, we wanted it to be formal but at the same time it felt too intimate to be formal. Technically we only had one person in the congregation (Yay Michele! :) but it was still fantastic. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would although I got a bit choked when we read our vows and then when Krista and Vergil read the blessings that my parents sent. Mainly though, I got to focus on the man I was marrying without the distraction of anyone else. It was wonderful. So after that we went to 'The Melting Pot' which is just a great restaurant! If you like fondue and live in Winnipeg you have to check it out. We had a lot of fun!

We were at the Fort Garry Saturday night so we got enjoy the Sunday brunch there in the morning. It was SO GOOD! Mmm...great food and so much of it. I wanted to eat way more but there is only so much food I can fit into my body...I ate my fill at least. Then Jonathan and I went home and just relaxed. It's kinda weird being here at work because it seems as though I should be gone for awhile...but that's okay I'll be doing that soon enough in May. (See the new coutdown? ;)

So yeah, I'm a married woman...a wife...wow...so bizarre. I'll post pictures when I can, I don't have any right now but I'll get too it *poke* Krista *poke*. LoL

All in all...a great day. A perfect little civil ceremony all about us starting out marriage which is exactly what we wanted. Now I get to go into the planning of the bigger event where I get to wear my dress! YAY!

We cannot fail to win unless we fail to try.

Yeah that title/quote is from Tom Clancy...I am telling you this quotations page is just an endless supply of entertainment. Like the next quote for example:

His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork. - Mae West (1892-1980)


Now tell me that's not funny, actually don't I think it's funny so that's all that matters. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because my brain needs mindless entertainment because right now all I can think about is everything I should be doing before Saturday.

Actually that last quote reminds me of a story. Once my maternal grandparents were curling with another couple. If you don't know much about curling I'd suggest looking it up cause I can't explain it...ahaha Anyway during one point when my grandmother was 'sweeping' the skip (the other gentleman) started yelling at her cause she didn't do it the way he wanted or whatever. Anyway my main point is she got so ticked at him (no one yells at my grandmother :) she walked up to him and said 'If you were my husband I'd trade you in for a cow...and then I'd shoot the cow'...LoL If you know me at all can't you just tell she's MY grandmother? :)

You know what's fun, I got a call from the salon where I'm getting my nails done on Saturday just to be sure that I remember I have an appointment...how great is that! I don't know why that phone call made me so happy but it did. It was great. Now I can't wait for the actual manicure ahaha.

I am in need of actually purchasing the shoes I'm going to wear on Saturday so my look is then complete. I also have to find a way to move things into Jonathan's apartment without driving myself just slightly insane. The next few weeks aren't going to be all that fun what with having to move yet again. Although I get to visit my parents on Easter weekend so that's good.

I saw this documentary Sharkwater last night. It was an amazingly done movie, really it was. There were some preachy moments where it sounded a bit like they were trying to really tug on the heart strings. But for the most part it made a lot of sense and really made me think. I mean I didn't realize how much abuse the Ocean takes from us. I mean I knew about whaling and for the most part don't agree with that and stuff...but the fact that fishermen will do things like 'long lining' and 'shark finning' just astounded me.

Long lining is when they put out about a 60 mile long fishing line with baited hooks on it to catch certain types of fish. The problem is hundreds of other sea creatures get stuck and killed on the lines at the same time. And the most use they want out of the sharks on there is to fin them. Which means the cut all of their fins off and then throw the still breathing carcass back into the water where it either drowns or bleeds to death. It saddens me how stupid humans can be. We can really get a god complex about some things and stuff like this ticks me off.

Anyway the whole movie was quite beautiful and I hope that it raises awarness for their cause. My only complaint is since half of it was hand held I got a bit naseous trying to watch it. But that's my own fault. :)

Catch ya later!
