updates

two blog posts in one week. it seems like i am on a roll.

first, i will start with an update on the wedding progress. all of "big ticket items", like the venue, caterer, the dress, the suits, the bridesmaids dresses, the flowers, the cake, and now the DJ, are booked. i was stressing out pretty hard earlier this week because i hadn't booked my DJ. i had emailed five or six companies and either didn't hear back, or heard back only to find out that they were booked because even though it is still three months until our wedding, that is basically tomorrow in wedding time. anyways, i was venting to my friend courtney who is also getting married and she gave me the name and number of this DJ company called stardustsounds that all the major wedding planners use. of course when i email them they say "they regret to inform me that they are booked on our date". so, i thank courtney and tell her that they are booked so i am still out of luck. well, bless courtney's little heart, she gets her aunt, lynn, who just so happens to be the biggest wedding planner in calgary, to call the company and convince them that they have to work our wedding as a favor to her. thankfully, courtney texts me about twenty minutes later telling me all i have to do is call the company number, speak to some man named bert, and we are good to go.  i was shocked and incredibly grateful. so, i obviously did as she said and now we are good to go. not only are we booked with a DJ but we are booked with the DJ that the number one wedding planner in town recommends. we are definitely lucky. it really is all about who you know.

so, on the puppy front, we took emi to the vet today. she was 32.5 lbs. i have decided she is not so slowly becoming massive. i am convinced that by the end of the month she will be too big for me to carry. i am not sure if i am going to be upset by this or relieved. either way, i better come to terms with it because she is obviously growing like a weed. i really want to start taking her to the off leash dog park but i am worried that she isn't trained enough. even though she is almost 33 lbs she is still only 13 weeks old. i just think it is really important for her to play with other bigger dogs. if we do go this weekend i am going to have to keep her on leash since she seems to forget all her training as soon as there is any sort of distraction aka other dogs or new smells.
