Much anticipated update!

(Ginormous wooden horses and 17,594 miles from home)
(Just some good ol' fashioned Easter fun!)
(WE LOVE THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(This is where the wedding magic will be happening, provided the weather cooperates!)



Just so everyone knows. We are alive and well. Things have just been so crazy here. With me settling in, organizing a wedding, looking for a job, etc....

When I first arrived it was blazing hot here, but thank the Lord for AC because we survived it! With out burning to a bloody crisp too. We've been going to millions of farmers markets and I've been to the beach numerous times. Things are quite grand at the moment. I am just really loving settling into my life with Mik. I never knew normal life could be so satisfying!

Well, anyways, before the masses start projectile vomiting I will leave you with some photos (and captions) of what's been going on.

Back to work

Back to work today, I haven't been since Thursday.

It should be fun really seeing as I have no idea how to run their register, or how much anything is. It's probably going to be quite interesting.

Just keep my in your thoughts folks. I know it's a hard thing to ask since well we don't really know each other. But Lord knows I need good thoughts thrown my way to aid in my ornament personalization nightmare.


I am sure there will be an update at some point after my work day is over. Have a great Tuesday, and remember kids 49 more days til Christmas is OVER.

Color Poll

Ok so the above are a couple of photos of where Mik and I are going to have our reception if that helps in choosing a color for our wedding.

The plan is to get chair covers to brighten up things, as it is a bit dark in the room. As well as candles and loads of flowers.

Thanks for your help in choosing our wedding colors!


By the way if the colors I've chosen in the poll aren't in your ideas when you see the photos leave me a comment for your vote.

A place has been booked. I have no idea what it looks like. Pictures will be coming within the next "couple of days". I am sure Mik has picked a suitable venue for our wedding and I trust him fully. So I am excited to see what this place looks like.

To be continued....

Trouble in Marriage Planning-ville

The photos I had posted previously of our wedding spot have been nulled and voided. The people who own the place had decided to sell it. "Why?", You ask, because they are doing so well they can't keep the place up. I know, it doesn't make one lick of sense to me either that they have to dash a newly engaged couples daydreams about having our wedding there. But alas, it's not to be. So, we were considering another spot before we found this place. It's called, Auchendarroch. * *
The name Auchendarroch is Scottish-Gaelic for "holy place of the oaks"

Don't get me wrong the place is beautiful. We just had our hearts set on Lavande. It was more personable, a lot less expensive, just more us. Mik will take photos when he goes up there this weekend. Until then, this is what I have to give the peeps where we are talking about.

Such is life, I am sure things will work themselves out. It doesn't really matter where we have it as long as we are together with each other as well as our friends and family.
