hello all!

Great day today!

This morning I went to the family court to make the agreement between me and my little one's dad ratified by the judge!

All was good. I will have the final court order at the end of the month.

Something i don't have to worry about now.

A long post on my blog about that.

Hugs and kisses

Congratulations on that! I know this was a big worry for you. Hopefully it is smooth sailing ahead for you.

Great to hear, Miss Yoko!

I do have an engagement ring; it wasn't anything that broke the bank, and I did tell Alex that I certainly didn't require one, but he insisted on giving me one. It's titanium and sapphire and my friends and family love it!

Can you believe I just got out of bed? Hooray for bank holiday Mondays!

Ooh - my parents fly to Krakow today. My mother had her ears tested and was given the all-clear to fly, but she's understandably very nervous so my dad booked this week's holiday for her so she could get used to a short, 3 hour flight before she flies next year to my wedding.

I did go to bed late - I didn't start watching Princess Mononoke until I'd finished tidying and cleaning the house so it was 3 am by the time that finished. I woke up at 10 am and spoke to Alex for a couple of hours, went back to sleep and then just recently woke up again!

Now I have to hurry to the shops to see if they're open as I'm cooking dinner for friends tonight.

Wow Rachel, you're my hero. I was up at 5:30 this morning - about the same time you were getting up - but 7 time zones away

I will. I'll be having a civil ceremony to satisfy the visa requirements (and so we can get the EAD app in) right after he gets here, but we'll be having an Episcopal ceremony in May 2009. I've already talked to my priest and explained the situation, he's ok with doing our wedding like that.

no we won't. nothing religious for us.

Shops were open - phew! Sometimes on a bank hol they adopt a Sunday trading time of 10-4. I have fresh trout fillets, new potatoes, carrots, broccoli and button mushrooms which I'll make a garlic butter for. My housemate and friend were out partying until 6 am in Nottingham and that means they probably had kebabs and a fry-up this morning (best cure for a hangover!) so they can have something lighter and healthier this evening.

Nothing religious for me, either, although we may have a couple of prayers said to keep my parents happy. My mother is a devout Catholic, my dad's a very keen Protestant, and my parents had a huge Catholic wedding themselves so yes, they're disappointed that I'm not having a religious ceremony.
