Every year I look forward to Pride, hanging out with friends, enjoying the awesome weather and having a great time at the parade. This year rather then beginning and ending the annual march at the Manitoba Legislative Building, we began at the Leg and ended at the Forks; effectively the parade length was cut in half. On top of that, while the Forks is a wonderful part of the city, it is rather limited on space and wasn't really designed to be filled with droves of people marching and following a set of floats. By the time we reached the Forks itself, much of the "parade" had dissolved into a group of people wandering without direction.
All in all, the afternoon was a complete dissapointment.
The weekend, however, was rather successful for Josh, Michelle and myself. Mostly for Josh and I though. As mentioned previously, Josh and I have begun to paint the house and this weekend we began work on our office. We've gone from a really deep olive colour, to a rather soothing pale blue. The office is a disaster still, but you can check out what the space looks like here.
On top of that, we recently bought bedroom sets for the house in preparation for Josh and Michelle to move in. The one for the master bedroom arrived perfectly:
...the one for Michelle's room was, well, much less successful:
I'm glad to say that the house is slowly coming together. Unfortunately we've come to the realization that the striking red colour we had picked for the bedroom won't work with the new (cherry) bedroom set, but at least we're making progress. Now they just need to move in, oh and Michelle needs to actually have her bed delivered...
Happy Pride Everyone!
