I didn't scream, or run :D

however, I did ring Dave to check if I was doing the right thing by doing nothing ;)

:lol:

I would have taken the same course of action

Marta, nice to see that you are our distinguished VP :P

Adriano got his suit last nite, he looks simply adorable in it!! Yea, we aren't superstitious, and I went shopping with him for it...there is no one else who can translate for him, and I know he would have been terrified to go alone with my sister...not that she is scary, but they just can't communicate to one another...

OH, andddd I just got back from ordering the wedding bands!! The jeweler was like one of those old school jewelers you would see in a movie or something. He is like a third generation New York jeweler and he was very personable and not pushy but a great salesman nonetheless.

This is all so exciting, it's getting soooo close!!

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Oh, and no more goodbyes. :) All done with that.

YAY!!! That's great!!! Good luck at your interview!!

I packed a case this morning :D No doubt it will be unpacked and repacked about 2500000 times but still... I also have 11 banana boxes of things to be shipped... may have more but it's a start :lol:

StP - we want piccies of your birdie!! :D Well I do anyway :D

your link is to the entire 'Moving here...' forum; was it a particular thread you were referring to?

I think I'd go for Lindt most of the time too, but Ritter Sport is great and they have an EXCELLENT range of flavours :)

rae! that's so exciting!!!

I know JUST how you feel :luv:

:(

off for comfort shopping now.

I am sooooo sorry you are feeling homesick...I know how hard that can be. hang in there, it does get better. are you planning a visit back anytime soon? sometimes that helps. do you know if there are any meet-up groups in your area?? we found a brits meet-up here in Seattle (just googled 'meet up seattle') and are planning on attending this month! apparently there are a bunch of brit expats here who meet at a pub like once a month to hang out and they celebrate english holidays and such. Should be fun and a bit of a connection to home for Matthew. maybe there is a similiar german group in your area??? ((((HUGS))))

@ debz: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! i want to see pics!!!!!! eric nearly forgot his wedding vows and was running late...... :)

@ stp: i would most defo go for lindt, but it's the most expensive, too. ritter is my second choice, milka the third. but at the moment i would even kill for milka *g*

@ all: last weekend we were travelling through the national parks in utah, and i had to get my suitcase out of the closet where it was sitting since i arrived. the luggage tags of the airlines were still on them, and it completely puzzled me that i really had the guts to get on that airplane, or, first of all, to pack all my stuff, to plan the whole move and weddign and stuff, and then, to really walk up to the counter of the airline and check in ...... do you know what i mean? looking back today, i can hardly believe that i really had the guts to do it. and if it was worth it. i really question it. i feel like a bad person. but i really do. i spent about 3h crying just about the luggage tags.

i don't question marrying, i question if i will be happy here longterm. and i try to figure out what i need to do to become more happy longterm and shortterm. i try to be realistic about things, and i try to be positive about things. but man, its hard.
