Happy December

  Well I am in the middle of the last week of school and both Lyle and I are up to our eyeballs in school work. I realized though that I hadn't posted in over a month and decided to take a few minutes to up date you all.
  November was a busy month as we helped out with both zone and provincial volleyball tournaments in Medicine Hat, Lyle is gaining quite the reputation for his announcing and was even hit on at the last college games we were at for his smooth, melodic voice. I giggled a little bit as I watched this girl approach his table :)
  Movember never really happened... we went from the baby face you saw in the last photo to not shaving at all... so the beard is getting a little out of control again, but I am dealing with it.
  As I mentioned we are both a little swamped with final projects and exams (though he has way more exams than I do). A happy moment this month came when we found out he would be done exams on my birthday, so I will actually get to see him that night and we will be able to head down to the condo a few days early and have a full two weeks of relaxation.
  It is hard to believe that Christmas is already upon us. This is my favorite time of year, but the year just seems to have passed so quickly! Next week brings my last shift at the pharmacy which is bittersweet. I am excited to be moving to Edmonton and starting practicum, but I have been at this job almost 4 years and have worked with my boss for almost 7, it is a whole new chapter in life.
  Wedding plans are coming along nicely, last week I booked the temple for our sealing, the stake centre for our reception, and the slush machine and photo booth for the reception. We are excited to watch it all come together, and as much as we weren't keen on our 9 month engagement we decided this weekend that there was no way I could have pulled everything together for a Christmas wedding, and still had any sanity left.
  My sanity seems to be hanging by a thread and I am grateful for Lyle, who will just left me cry when my body says it has had enough. He is a keeper!

I am adding just a few of our engagement photos taken by Meghan Maxwell, she is amazing and I am so glad we have her!
 This isn't one I will use on the invitation, but it is one I want blown up on my wall!

 I really enjoy this one of us :)

 Matchy plaid, because we are dorky like that!
