Life Updates
Sorry I've been kind of MIA from here lately, life has been crazy! I also still owe you guys some pictures from our New Brunswick engagement party that we had in June!
A few weeks ago, Luke and I went axe throwing as part of a bachelorette party (yes, Luke went to the bachelorette - the bride is one of his best friends, and is actually a 'groomswoman' in our wedding, and Luke is officiating at her wedding). We were both actually pretty good at it! I don't think this is something I need to do again for awhile, but it was definitely something worth doing at least once!
In the picture above, you can't really tell but my psoriasis was pretty bad and it had spread to my face. Shortly after that, I finally got in to see a dermatologist (after 6+ months of waiting...). He gave me some new creams to try, and what a difference! My skin is almost back to normal!
We've gone to a few concerts over the past few weeks as well
We went to a Counting Crows and Matchbox 20 show (because apparently it's 1998 again?). It was my second time seeing both of those band, and I'm good with never seeing Counting Crows again. I really like a lot of their music, but it seems like they don't really care about putting on a great show and just do it because they have to. Matchbox 20 though still puts on a great show!
We also went to an Ed Sheeran concert. I've now seen him three times in concert, once for each album he's put out, and he's wonderful. He puts on such a great show, and I'm always fascinated by looping pedals, despite how many times I've seen them used. I really loved the visuals of this tour as well.
We also went to see July Talk in concert one night at K-Days, Edmonton's exhibition/carnival/fair/whatever you want to call it. They are a really fun Canadian band that always put on an amazing show, but unfortunately it started raining about an hour before their set, and they had to cancel the show due to a thunderstorm warning.
Luke went to the bachelor party of the groom from the aforementioned bachelorette party 2 weekends ago. They started their day by renting a baseball field and playing ball. Luke even went and bought himself a brand new glove for it, since he hadn't played in years... and of course he texted me about an hour later saying he thought he had broke his finger, and was heading to the hospital for X-Rays...
Yeah... it was broken. And quite badly - I had to take him to the hospital yesterday and he actually underwent surgery to rebuild his finger. The bones were so shattered that they had to take a piece of bone from his wrist and put it into his finger along with some pins and screws. He's now in a partial cast/tension bandages and can't remove those until next week when he goes to see the plastic surgeon for a follow-up. He's also looking at about 3 months of physiotherapy before he regains full movement in his hand (and he's already been told he'll probably never fully regain full movement in the shattered finger.
. I saw the pictures of him in the hospital on Instagram yesterday. I hope his recovery goes well!
(I think they're coming here this summer too along with Goo Goo Dolls and I saw Third Eye Blind a couple weeks ago).
