France revisited

Near the end of the year in France my best friend Will decided to take a break from his art gallery in Toronto to spend a little BFF time in Bordeaux. We ate delicious food in Bordeaux, took the longest train ride ever to Bilbao, Spain and played soccer in the sand in Arcachon, France. Truly it was a BFF time. Here are a few pics.



Will tries to hold my hand. "I'm taken," I had to keep telling him over and over.


One of the best things one can find in Bordeaux, Potato doner.

Man the French were really, really short a century ago.



Anid now the wrinkliest dog EVER!

p.s. take a look at Will's gallery website. www.le-gallery.ca Whether you are interested in art or not it's worth a look.

Our Bridal & Groomal Shower...


Getting married wouldn't be complete without having showers. (Where did that word come from anyway??) Last Sunday, my aunts got together and threw me one... complete with presents, laughter and really good cake!! Thank you to Gina for hosting and Charlotte and Lorraine for helping to plan and everyone for coming! And actually, since most of them hate wedding showers, we decided to call it "The Rempel Family Gathering with Presents." I thought that was cute.
Two of my favourite women: Andrea & Mom

The uncles: Dad, Biff (aka Stan), Paul, Herb

Jeremy: Wow. That was awkward.
Me: Good grief, Jeremy. I'm related to you. What happens when a 'real' girl kisses you?
