I had an AWESOME time in Red Deer
 It's really a pretty city. The drive took me almost 6 hours (... okay and I was speeding a bit). I'm used to driving over flat land, because that's all Saskatchewan is  But about an hour and a half past the Alberta border, all of a sudden the road just dropped off and for about 5 minutes it was a windy road through some pretty cool landscape. I took some pictures through my windshield while I was driving. Then it went right back uip to flat land for the rest of the drive. It wasn't too hard to find Cherelle and Scott's house, and when I got there the other bridesmaid Jeni was there already. We went out for supper and Scott insisted on paying. Then he took us girls shopping I bought a fabulous pair of Steve Madden heels. Later that night a few of Scott's friends came over and we all went out to this night club, and between Scott and his friends, our drinks were paid for all night. I couldn't even refuse, because they'd notice one of our drinks getting low and they'd be right back with another round! The next morning Scott's sister came in from Edmonton with her husband and new baby and all of us girls went shopping for bridesmaid dresses. We found the dress within 10 minutes. It's such a cute dress and it will look good on everyone. While we were there, Cherelle put on her wedding dress for us and it is absolutely gorgeous, she looked stunning, and I honestly felt like crying! I love seeing her so glowing and happy, she totally deserves it. Then we kind of went shopping for the rest of the day When we got back to Cherelle and Scott's house, we popped in the last season of Sex and the City and drank cosmopolitans People started showing up for the housewarming and Scott started barbequing. I got to meet the best man for the wedding, and they definitely weren't kidding about his size. He's a good 5 inches shorter than me! And since our bridesmaid dresses are shorter, we've decided to all wear the same shoes. For my sake, we're only going with a 1-inch heel I told the best man to please wear platforms with fish swimming in them. He was a really fun guy, everyone I met was really nice and fun!Anyways, this morning Scott took us all out for breakfast and then I was on my way home. It was a long weekend and a lot of driving but it was totally worth it! I'll add pictures right away... Oh yeah and I went with two bottles of wine for a housewarming gift. I'm glad I didn't do anything too extravagant because only one other person brought a gift at all, and it was a gift certificate for a housewares store When I gave them the wine Cherelle said "Oh you didn't have to get anything! Just coming all the way here is good enough for me!"
