Can I just say that I LOVE weddings! We just got back from a trip to Southern Alberta, Canada, where we went to see my cousin, Sarah, get married to Mr. Zac Rhodenizer. It was a whirlwind trip (we left Thursday and came home Tuesday), but it was so worth it! While there we got to see the farmhouse where my Grandma Ursaki grew up and all the places that she played as a child. We also got to meet all of my mom's cousins and my Great Aunt Peggy. Aunt Peggy was so much like my grandma that I found myself instantly loving her. I can't even describe how wonderful it was to hear all the stories of my grandma's childhood and to learn about her extraordinary life. I will forever be grateful to my grandma, because though raised in inactivity, she listened to the whisperings of the spirit and found the church again. Because of her faith, my mom was raised in the church, and consequently, so was I. Anway, it was so fun to attend Sarah's wedding and all of the festivities that went with it. My feet are still sore from the rocking dance at her reception. It was a great trip!!!!!
My Aunt Peggy and my Grandma Ursaki. Don't they look alike?
My coolest cousin Matteo and me. Matteo is almost a black belt in karate and he showed me some of his sweet ninja moves.

The real reason I love Canada. Wunderbars!!!!! Yes, that is a 24 pack of Wunderbars. Will I gain weight? Probably. Do I care? Not really.

Hey Laura! I think, and I'm not so sure, but I think you can find all sorts of Cadbury specialties at Cost Plus World Market. There's one in Park City -- probably others by now too. It's a beautiful thing. I went yesterday and picked up the Cadbury mini-eggs and eclairs.
