(So I started this post about a month ago. Better late than never!)
Mark finally received his acceptance letter to the University of Saskatchewan. It was never a worry-for me- that he might not get accepted but it felt like we had been waiting for it for a long time. It was the best acceptance letter I have ever seen! Not just because it was a relief to know that our plans were working out so far but because of the actual letter. You can't see it very well in the picture but there was confetti in with it! And the letter it self made you so excited about the future! It said things like, " You have so much to be proud of, and I want to take a moment to personally celebrate this accomplishment with you." and "Whatever path you follow at the University of Saskatchewan, I want you to know that you'll always be part of our community, your community--one that will support you along your educational journey and wants you to succeed." I know every received the same letter but it really did feel like Peter Mackinnon was talking just to us and it was exciting! It made us both so excited to go! I find myself looking at apartments in Saskatoon often even though it is kinda early. I just am excited to go! And by that time we'll have a wee one. Thinking of life in Saskatoon is so different than where we are now. Add a new place filled with unfamiliar people, a new school and a new baby. A very new baby. Scary? Definitely. But so so exciting! I can't wait for the adventures!

Happy Anniversary to us!
That's right! And what a year it has been. We have had so much fun being married and we've learned so much. I couldn't be happier with my life right now. I have the most incredible husband who makes me so happy! I'm so grateful for someone who loves me like he does and I feel so blessed to love him more and more everyday!
Mark and I celebrated our 1 year mark 2 weekends ago by going back to Whitefish. We even spent the night at the same lodge where we spent our honeymoon. It was such a fun trip. Kinda weird when we first pulled up to the lodge but it's such a kool place that it was fun to be back and once again we didn't take any pictures. We were planning on doing some baby shopping and price checking while we were down there so before we left we made a couple stops. My mother and sisters will testify, I am not a shopper. I never have been and I'm starting to realize that I never will be. So after about 2 hours of shopping I was ready to go home. So we went for lunch and then got groceries that we needed and went home. We did get a few things like a few maternity clothes for me and a crib but there was so much more things on my list that I'm anxious to go back. I know better this time though. I will bring my mother with me so she can drag me around all day and make sure that we don't go home until everything is done. The biggest thing I'm bummed about not getting is fabric. Who goes all the way to Kalispell and doesn't make a stop at JoAnns?! Especially when their expecting...and somewhat unemployed and have so much free time for sewing projects!
