Wow I am really bad at this blogging thing!!! So what's been going on lately? I've been busy with work. My grandma passed away on June 14th which was a really hard thing for me, I've alwasy been really close with her. I can't believe it's been a month, I keep wanting to phone her to tell her something. I'm taking it day by day, I'm very glad she's in a better place where she isn't suffering anymore. She was creamated so we had the internment of the ashes at the cemetery. A few family members from out of town were able to come and be there for that. It was a hard day but it was a nice day at the same time. The entire day was dedicated to spending time with family that we haven't seen in a long time. It was really nice to see them all.

My sister Sarah who moved to Scotland a few years ago was able to come back for the funeral which was really nice. It's been a few years since we've seen her. It was fun to visit with her and of course she brough us yummy sweets!!

So now for the exciting news my uncle James is marrying his fiancee in Ireland in August. So my dad, my sister Amy and my brother Alex are going!!!! We are flying out of Calgary on July 29th to glasgow Scotland and we'll be spending most of our time in and around Edinburgh. We'll be in Ireland for 3 days and 2 nights. I cannot wait it's gonig to be such an awesome trip. I'm really excited to be able to go with my family. My dad grew up in Scotland so it will be neat to have him show us lots of things and places. We have lots of cousins and relatives over there so it will be fun to meet them. I'll definitly be taking lots of pictures and posting them on here and on facebook. I tend to update facebook way more often then this.

I've still been having loads of fun making cards, I made a bunch of new ones over the last couple of weeks I haven't taken any pictures of them yet but when once I have I will post them.

For the last 10 days Calgary has been home to the Calgary Stampede! It's a fair and a rodeo and all sorts of things all rolled into one. I actually didn't make it down there this year. It's expensive and I couldn't justify spending that much money when I'm going on holidays. There have been lots of free pancake breakfasts around town though which has been fun. Also being able to wear jeans to work is a definite bonus.

Now for some pictures:
