Tiring Weekend

So this weekend was Tony's wedding weekend. So therefore very busy and tiring for me. Friday afternoon I went to help them set up the yard that they were going to use for the wedding. After that was set up we went through the rehearsal a couple of times before taking off to Gull Lake to set up their hall. That was also a long process. We set up the tables and set out chairs. Eventually we were at a point that us guys were able to leave and get Tony to bed. We went to the cars and started towards Tony and Aimee's place when Tony stopped and realized that he didn't have his house key. So we went back to the hall to look for it. We went in and didn't find it. We looked in his Jeep and still couldn't find it. Just before we decided to leave I thought that I would retrace Tony's steps and watch the ground for his key. I started where he park and looked down and found it right away. I gave it to Tony and we went to his place. When we got there he said that he needed to stop on the way to pee and that he lost his key then. I of course knew he was trying to pull a fast one on us and just played along because I know that was the only way to get the key from him. I was right and he had hid it in his shoe. He needed to grab some stuff from the Jeep and I took the key to open the door. He had a key that he thought might open the door but wasn't sure, so I pretended that the key he had wasn't for the door to the house. He bought it and tried the other key he had. It turns out that it was the right key in the end. We finally got Tony to bed around 2. I didn't really sleep very well that night. I kept tossing and turning and waking up all the time. We got up at 7:30 and started to kinda get ready. We went to Denny's for a good hardy breakfast. Went back to Tony's and started to iron clothes and shower and get ready. We left for the wedding to be there for 12:15. The weather unfortunately didn't work out for them and we did the wedding at the church they had for a backup. It rained most of the day on and off. So for pictures we all got pretty wet. They had a RV for transportation so we were all able to hang out traveling from location to location. It was a fun day regardless of the rain. The meal was good and the reception was good.

So Sunday we slept most of the day after getting back to Bella Bella. It was exhausting. We went to bed at 8:30 and slept until seven when we had to get up for work. I went to work for 8:45 as I am on call this week again. Before I came home there was some talk of the doctor going to a community called Ocean Falls today and I was told I could go. I wasn't sure if that was still going on so it was a shock when I went to work and found out that I was going and wouldn't really be doing anything there. So the doctor came by and we went to the airport to catch the plane. We got on the float plane and left for the town. It was a half hour flight and it was cool to see everything from 700 feet. We landed on the water and got off on the dock. We made our way to where the clinic is set up which is the re-purposed RCMP detachment. I found out that there was nothing for me to do so I went for a walk around the town. I went up to the dam that they have built for power. I found out that is where the

power for Bella Bella comes from. They have a hotel that when it was built, it was the largest in BC, but now it is totally abandoned and f

alling apart. The town only has 35 residents there now. In its prime it was almost 7000 people. It was an old logging town and had a huge paper mill. But in 1986 the company quit and the whole town shut down and left to be regained by the forest. The government has been tearing down buildings to help the forest out and to make it more natural. So when you are looking around the shoreline you can see where the old forest was and where the town stretched out to. There is a distinct line between the new trees and the old forest. We left for Bella Bella at 1:00 and were back around 1:30. I went to work and finished off the day. I didn't get home until 6 and then made macaroni and cheese in the oven. It was delicious. We did the dishes and then played some Wii. We are now watching Last Comic Standing.

That is all for now.
