its sewing time!

Prior to the wedding, I thought I would be adventurous and try sewing again. I used to sew a bit when I was younger and I remember it being fun and quite simple, providing you pick the simple patterns. So, I went out and bought some wonderful material for 3 skirts, and a pair of PJ bottoms. Now thinking that I had time before the wedding, I really thought I would get this done, well I didn’t.

Yesterday, I was out with a friend and we were shopping around, checking things out, and I was really wanting to BUY a skirt, but I knew that if I took the time I would have 3 skirts of which I’ve already paid for. So, I came home last night, cut my pattern, cut my fabric, went to my parents and tada I have a new skirt. It hardly took me anytime, perhaps 1.5 hours in total!!! Being motivated by my success, I woke up this morning and started on my next one. I realized while unpacking things, I actually have material for 4 skirts, so this shall keep me busy for a little while! And the best part it my wardrobe is now updated for summer fun skirts! :) Hurrah, and skirts will definitaly come in handy this summer.

Not only because I enjoy wearing them, I am attending 3 weddings, I graduate, going to a birthday bash, and Lindsay and I decided that we’d be going on a double date so they will be well used!

I’m very excited for my new hobby, I’m looking forward to what I sew up next!

Another Friday

So, things here are FINALLY getting settled, and Phil and I seem to be into more a routine than we have been in what feels like months. Phil is enjoying being back to work, and I have been enjoying having the time to get our house set up, and get healthy as I’ve been sick for a while.

I start my new job this week :) That’s fun! I’ll do a tax return for a client! Today I also applied for a Temp. Job at NIC, which would be fun, get to do all sorts of things. We’ll see, so think good thoughts!

Phil and I have almost been married for a month, and in some ways it feels like we’ve been married much longer, in others much less, and sometimes it feels exactly right. We are really enjoying eachother, and have found our relationship has been getting stronger again, we are spending more time talking again :) which is awesome…. between the wedding and work and school we felt very distant in the upcoming weeks to the wedding, but the wedding really did bring unity for us! Which is amazing!

We have been back to church now which has been wonderful, we love our church family and feel so welcomed there! This week, we will be presented with The Schalm Family bible, everytime there is a marriage a bible is presented to represent the new family! We are very excited! We are now a family!

I am off now though, errands to run, dishes to do :)

Mr and Mrs Philip Schalm… married for 23 days

Wow, its been quite a while since I’ve updated, and a lot has happened!

Well the big event… on May 12, Phil and I finally!!! got married! We had a beautiful wedding in Filberg Park, and the day couldnt be more perfect. We had a sunny day, with no clouds and just a hint of a breeze which was actually very nice! Pictures went amazingly… check them out on our wedding page! I’ll be adding more soon, as well as pictures of our honeymoon :)

I was so impressed with how well the wedding day went, everything we planned for happened, people did what they were suppose to do, and we started on time! Which is a huge thing to me! It was a great day for Phil and I to see old friends and meet new ones. To finally meet family we hadnt met, and the greatest part of the day, is we were married!

We stayed at the Kingfisher Resort for 2 nights…. it was awesome… room and resort were incredible. Then we went to Tofino, for 5 days, we stayed at The Pacific Sands Resort. Our room was amazing…. we were on the 3rd floor, had a private hottub on our deck, an incredible view of Cox Bay! We spent a lot of time just enjoying the peacefulness of the view and the beaches.

Most of the time we were out on the beaches, taking pictures and just enjoying eachother. We went out to eat lots! mmm food…we were lucky enough to eat at the Wikininish Resort… holy smokes, the best meal I’ve ever had in my life, and Phil says the same thing!!!

When we got back home, Phil still had a week off before he had to go back to work! So that was nice, we got our home set up, and got into some sort of routine. Although we dont feel that we are totally there yet we will get it soon!

Overall, the change has not been hard. We have both been so ready to live with eachother and be married that when we were finally married it was more exciting than anything else. Hurrah for being married!

I start work this week, it will be casual for a little while and then my ideal is to work 4 days. Should be fun!

Anyway, I must go, my Husband :) is making breakfast, and I should go help!
