Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho

Posted in Wedding, Wedding-Talk Wednesday by

It’s back to work I go :(

I’m still on a post-wedding high and I’m still a LOT exhausted. There’s so much to say about how amazing the wedding was but I have no idea where to start!

The biggest thing is realizing that I’m now a WIFE. I’m so not used to it yet! And? I have a MAIDEN name now. Whaaa? lol – But really, it’s so surreal!

I think I may break down the whole wedding experience into a little mini-series starting next week, covering the Rehearsal, the morning of, the ceremony and the reception all in different posts. Sound good? I think so!

For now, I’ll let ya’ll ask me questions if you like, and I’ll answer them in a post Friday. So, just leave them in the comments! And – if you are already married, lets compare notes, shall we?

So, what do you want to know?

Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Ten on Tuesday by

1. What type of phone do you have? Do you like it?

I have an HTC Desire Z and I love it! It pretty much does everything an iPhone does, without all the hype. (Sorry iPhone people)

2. How old were you when you got your first cell phone?

I was in Grade 12, so I think I was 17 when I got it. It was a Kyocera something-or-other on a Pay as You Go plan.

3. How many cell phones have you owned since your first?

I think maybe six? The Kyocera, a flip-phone, a slider, the Double-Flip, the Rumour, and the the Desire Z. I may be missing one.

4. How much is your average monthly phone bill?

About $85. Not too bad, really. I got a smokin’ deal on a Fab 10 plan!

5. When you were a kid/teenager, were you allowed to have a phone in your room?

Well, it would’ve involved having to install a line into my room, so no. There was one right around the corner from my room, so I always used that one.

6. Do you like talking on the phone or do you despise it? Or somewhere in-between?

It depends on what I need to accomplish. If I need details or information instantly, I’m a phone person. If it’s no rush, text or email.

7. Do you text a lot? Is texting/talking while driving illegal where you live? Are you guilty of it anyway?

I wouldn’t say I’m a text-a-holic, but I do use texting as one of my go-to ways on communicating with friends. It’s illegal to text and talk on your cell while driving in B.C., so I don’t do it! (Ever, I swear!)

8. What sort of texting keyboard does your phone have? Touch screen, slide out, or something different? Do you care?

I have  a touchscreen phone with a slide-out keyboard. It’s brilliant! I don’t know if I could do full-on touchscreen. The auto-correct function irritates me.

9. Look at the last call in your call log – who is it? What were they calling about? Who calls you the most?

It was from my Dad in regards to a missing gift card. We found it though! My dad definitely calls my cell the most.

10. What is the longest phone call you can recall having?

On my cell? I have no idea. On a regular land-line phone? Probably a couple hours while I was in high school. Ah, to be young again :)

Our Wedding: A Sneak Peak

Posted in Kara and Kyle, Love, Photos, Wedding by

Hi guys!

I’m currently enjoying my last couple days off work before I go back on Wednesday. I can’t even gather enough words to describe how amazing Kyle and I’s wedding was. It was just simply that: Amazing. I’m so lucky to have found the perfect man to spend the rest of my life with.

Now, to tide you guys over until I get back into the blogging mode, here’s a few photos from our wedding day taken by my brother! I’m not sure when the photographer will be done with her photos, but my brother did a great job with my D90 :)
