Big news

So I've got Big News.  Mom and Marvin sold the farm.  This is big news for several reasons.  I was intending to have photographs taken at the farm before the wedding and I've booked the photographer already for an 8 hour day!  The farm was where I was going to get ready.  Also, our very special Dutch guests were supposed to be staying there before the wedding!!

I should digress...many of you don't know of my Dutch Connection so I should explain.  When I was 16, my best friend Stefanie did a student exchange with a lovely girl named Johanneke Schaap from Holland.  Stef went to Holland and then Jo came to Canada for 3 months and stayed with Stef's family.  Jo and I decided we should become the best of friends and when she left we resolved to become pen pals.  She's been my steady pen pal for going on 12 years now and it's really, really cool.  We've visited over the years and I got to be a guest of honour at Jo's wedding in the fall of 2009.  Now she is Mrs. Johanneke Delsink and she has a beautiful baby boy, Liam (who will be coming to the wedding and I can't wait to meet him).  So, for our wedding we will have Jo, Dennis (her husband) and Liam and Jo's parents, Kitty and Henk. 

So what should we do for our special guests?  They are renting a camper from September 2 onwards until they leave but there are a few days before that when they'll be in Canada without it.  Mom and Marvin have found a new place in Campbellford...technically in Godolphin, lol, and it has plenty of room but it's just so much further away!

Don't worry though, everything'll work out.  The person buying the farm is going to let us take our pictures there anyway.  Check out our photographer, Julia Busato, @ http://www.nirinphotography.com/ or at her flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/ravengirlstudios/ . And there's a Bed and Breakfast just around the corner from the farm where I can get ready with my girls.

All is not lost, it's just waiting to be found.
