An Update on the Craziness That is Nicole's Life

Alright, alright, time to update...

Well after a bit of stress, I finally got my room all packed and cleaned and said my goodbyes and Dallas and I headed towards the 49th. The first day was fairly uneventful and we made it to our intended destination (Sioux City, Iowa). The second day was absolutely ridiculous. It started raining in Sioux City and did not stop (or let up even a little) until Fargo, North Dakota. And the temperature was just right outside that my windshield would fog up if you kept the heater on too long so we were driving along freezing and we even stopped at a gas station to put more clothes on. We almost hit a couch on the interstate (ask me about that story sometime) and once it finally stopped raining, we bucked a headwind all the way across ND. We made it to Minot, ND that nite and decided enough was enough. We declined going all the way to Weyburn, Saskatchewan as planned and just crashed in Minot instead. Once we got to the hotel and relaxed we felt much better. We found out the next morning all the rain had been coming from the edge of a massive storm system that produced a ton of tornados across like 6 or 7 different states! Grrrreeaaatt. Anyways, our 3rd day was nice weather and I'm not gonna lie, we definitely made "really good time" that day if you know what I mean. I just wanted to get home. But all ridiculousness aside, it was a fun trip and we had a lot of laughs! I mean who else can say they almost hit a couch on the interstate while it rained for 5.5 hours straight? lol

Monday Phil came over to plan out the week and get caught up. Tuesday was a couple hours at the spa w/ Phil and Diane (the other bridesmaid). Wednesday was hair and waxing appointments. Thursday was a ton of errands and then Phil's stagette. Friday was packing for my trip and then decorating the church and getting everything ready for Saturday. The wedding was beautiful the next day and then the reception was a ton of fun. Got to talk to some people I haven't talked to for awhile and it was just a lot of fun. (Pics of all this are on facebook!)

Sunday nite we left for Nova Scotia and flew into Halifax early Monday morning. We drove from Halifax up to a friend's brother's place in Pomquet and spent the nite at his house. Then today he took us out lobster fishing! It was one of the coolest things ever! Then we ventured on and we're going to tour around Cape Breton Island. Right now we're in Baddeck (about the middle of the island). We're headed back to Halifax on Friday and spending the weekend there and then flying back on Sunday. This trip is kinda for my birthday so it's been super fun. It was kinda crazy trying to get ready for it and for Phil's wedding in only a week of being home but we made it here and we're having a blast. (Pics of this on facebook as well!)

Anyways, that's all for now, will try to make future blog posts not so far apart :P
