Re-cap! Mother's day, Roller-Derby and Prom!

I feel like there has been allot of events that I have skipped over. First, is the wonderful mother's day my family and I had. We all went to my aunt Paula's and played outside in the great May weather. My cousins introduced there dog, Clara, an adorable black Shi-poo puppy. Aidan was especially happy this weekend and had a great time with his little cousins. The food and company were great!

Secondly, I joined my local Roller Derby Team! Roller Derby is a female-only contact sport, where two teams with roller-skates go around the track in a pack, while two other players, one representing each team, skates from behind the pack. This "scoring" player is called the Jammer. They must pass blocking players from the pack that could throw "booty blocks", "hip checks" or shoulder crunching blows. Don't worry about me though, I feel like I was made for this sport. It's the perfect combination of rugby, ringette, and figure skating. Our team is called The Royal City Roller Girls: The Killer Queens and Violet Uprising! My derby name is Malibu Brawler, a play on Malibu Barbie (my player alter ego persona). When I move to Montreal, I plan on playing there as well.

Finally, in mid May I had my prom! It was a great event hosted at Guelph Place, a very nice banquet hall. I spent less than 100$ overall on my prom experience. I edited my own photos and got all of my friends together before prom to take photos at Bernardi Precast, a cement statue manufacturer with pillars and Greek gods by the truck load on property. We then carpooled over to The MacDonald Stewart Art Centre for photos in there sculpture park. I wore an iridescent pleated purple dress, cut right above my knees. It was strapless, handmade and eco-friendly and I wore great little reflective heels. My aunt Albie sent me one of a kind earrings that complimented the whole ensemble, so many people asked me about them! The prom was super fun, and the after party with friends was even better! We all slept over at my friends eco-house in the country and had eggs, pancakes and fruit in the morning.
