Hey again :)
Well things are bubbling along nicely..we took Ali, Fred, Mum & Dad to visit the barn on Sunday & they all really liked it :) we got a formal introduction to the donkeys Ringo and Polly :) they are lovely! the ducks came to say hello too..apparently they like invading the weddings..which I think is great! 'do you take this man' *QUACK!!* hehe :) also checked out the toilets..they are fab! bright pink walls for the girls & blue 4 the boys :) anyways we put down the all important dosh & got lots of info on local accomodation, taxi companies etc scarily real! It started snowing while we were there :) pretty! but cold! so we all headed for hot drinks at the halfway inn..very nice with a roaring fire :) everyone was bursting with ideas which was lovely..from where to get the drinks to music etc! Its lovely to step back sometimes & just listen to everyone getting on so well :) i love it :) the lady sally was fab..we can visit lots and take lots of guests to peek :) she will grow our flowers for us in her cute garden..we need to choose chandalier garlands or big balls..i think both are sooo pretty! they can also dress the beams..but i think they are pretty amazing just as they are :) then theres lighting to think about..although we're hoping for a nice day :) and setting off into the sunset about 8 :) oh thats another thing..the timings of the day! :) we are thinking 2-8pm then nobody gets too tired or hopefully bored :) also andys worst nightmare is a disco..or dare i mention it..dancing! lol so it means he gets to avoid that :) we are thinking of having live music in the evening, and maybe even an ice cream van!! im very excited about that bit lol :) other ideas we are toying with are a pub style quiz/ a sweetie bar /cream tea:) we're avoiding an alcohol bar as neither of us are big drinkers..n its impossible to get it right 4 everyone..dont worry there will be wine on the tables :) but also lots of yummy fruit juices & soft drinks in big ice buckets :) it'l probably be grey n rainy but luckily dads church have huge urns that we can nick so there will be plenty of tea and coffee too :) i know what andys like without his cuppa quota lol :)
Its all sooooooooooooooooooooo soooooooooo exciting :D mum n dad r away so made andy a big roast last night n just cuddled up watching house shows on our own..i just kept thinking wow one day not that far off this will seem normal..n not like 'hehe! we are playing house!' We are going to live with mum & dad for the first 3 months which is so kind of them :) it is a bit funny getting married as soon as im done with the essential bits of uni but we didnt want to put off the wedding til 2011 as we'l already have been together 6 years when we get married!.an neither of us can wait :) im basically employed by uni until the end of that sept (but its mainly study leave) and at the moment the local job situation looks good because of the new childrens hospital :) yay :) hopefully once ive been working 3months we will be able to get a mortgage..and a little house somewhere just 4 us :) thats the plan! Im just hoping that some of they keyworker deals will still be avaliable..as the more we save the worse the mortgage market gets atm!! but it will all work out in the end :) Its soo exciting to think my 25th birthday could be in a home of our own :) with our little family..Jasper the dog, toby the cat..and however many million rabbits andy has got at that point :) eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D
sorry! Im waiting to come down off the enagement high..but still bouncing off the walls atm!
