Well... we made it home. All of a sudden I have the patience to blog again. The trip was amazing. I feel very lucky to have been able to go on it. Having my family and friends be a part of it was very special.It was everything I had hoped. There were a few very important people missed but I know they were there in spirit. When we sadly caught the ferry off the Island we looked back and watched the boat move from the shore. Lots of very important things happened during this trip. My commitment to Tyson and Haley being one of the most important. We are now starting to look for a new place to live and getting ready to throw a party for all friends and family so we can celebrate our ... read more

It seemed that this trip was so damned far away that it would be forever till it came and here it is in less than a week! Less than a week away… busy photocopying all the documents… been through a few trial runs of packing and generally running around with my head chopped off trying to get stuff together… not to mention getting things ready at home. I’ve had the luggage out for a few weeks now and on the first day, Sugar (my cat) freaked but I haven’t left yet so I think she forgot that luggage means going away.

Today was my last day of work. Now I am really stressed. I took my baby Tom yesterday over to Victoria to spend a glorious three weeks with Grandpa. He was really upset to find out that Uncle Felix and Aunty Becky live there too. I am sure that they will all work it out. But Tom has a really nasty reaction to change. I think I do too. I couldnt sleep last night without him. This morning I got up and started looking for him. Pretty bad. I spoke to Dad tonight and he said that Tom was having trouble staying awake cause he had been on guard all night. I think I might have ruined him for anybody else. I better take a sleeping pill tonight so I can get some sleep.... read more

Well...its coming up pretty quick. Its amazing how many things you forget when you have been planning for a year. I just realized that before I leave I have to get my hair done,legs waxed,brows trimmed and many other forms of plucking picking and pulling absolutely have to happen. Oh Yeah....and I gotta lose ten pounds. Maybe I will just borrow one of my girlfiends pills and be done with it. Today I went to try and get the jewellry for my BIG DAY. I could not decide so instead I bought two different sets. Surely you all understand that I have never bought jewellry before. Here I am making two very large purchases for this one night. Brides are freaking crazy... read more

Well, it's still super early. But people are still interested I guess.... leaving in 7 weeks and 4 days! I got my damned shots...
