Filing in March

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Enjoyed some British bangers last night.

That was sausages and mashed potatoes at the Red Lion for the non UK readers.

Super vibes~~~~ to you because you're next. So let us take care of it and you pretend you're not interested.

Awwww...thank you.... So sweet of you....

need all the good vibes....

but i actually "don't care" to much...lol...

Bex...I think i have been thru all the wedding dress stages... Imagined it in a thousand ways ever since i was a little girl...And now that it is so close i just can't get an idea of it... I just know that once i see it i will know that it "IT"...

Man I'm still buzzing and its been over 4 hours since I saw the email lol! I haven't even thought about how to track it through the next steps. Eeek ...I'M IN A NEW BOX!!!!!! :dance: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You kept your little spreadsheet quiet! Brian in the April thread churns out some awesome March statistics every now and then too. I love organized people...I can only dream.

I'm glad you reminded me about Erin's ideas! Saff was telling me the other day that her future mother in law suggested quite a cute gift idea. Get a nice jar or a box and put lots of notes inside with reasons why you love your SO/cute messages/inside jokes then when they are feeling down they can reach inside and pull one out. I send Alan an email every now and then that will just read ... Reason #XX - because you know what flavors I want in my sonic slushy without having to ask... or whatever. He really appreciates them. We say I love you a lot but its always nice to be reminded of why. As for the positive reinforcement. I have a little check box inside my purse and every time i loose a lb I cross another box off. I have nearly filed all the squares now and its awesome to be reminded of how well I'm doing. Also when I open my purse to get money out to buy cakes I see it and think twice... or i think "oooh look how well I'm doing I can treat myself and have a cake!" Lol either way I'm a winner.

Wedding talk: I went to a wedding Saturday night. The reception was in my friend's pasture right in front of her house. If I can figure out how to post pics, I'll show you a fancy Texas pasture wedding which may be a weird concept to many of you. Notice the chandelier hanging from the oak tree.

thanks for posting, seems so strange to have it all outside lol.

Awww that looks awesome I would love for us to have enough space to do that. Being British I am 100% wary of the weather tho, I just don't think my nerves could handle the outdoors commitment.

Alan has been to one venue a couple of times now and really likes it - http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/atls...e-mountain-inn/

I love Stone Mountain, we've spent some really happy times there and it would definitely give us the chance to have lots of nice outdoors photographs, the room opens up into the courtyard too, as were hoping it will be in September the weather should be lovely. The building is very "southern" and with it being a Marriott they are giving us a good discount for guest rooms. Hopefully Alan and I will be staying out of the way at the Evergreen resort just across the park. Haha this plan changes everyday ... we are having a big wedding ... we aren't having a big wedding ... who knows!

Thats cool .... where abouts does Jay live? Alan is in Lilburn. I love GA. My first visit over there was to Fayettenam/Fort Bragg, NC so anywhere was going to an 100% improvement on that but I'm really taken with my new home.

Jay lives in lafayette, Alabama, but on my first visit we spend 5 days in Atlanta which I loved. Do you fly in to Atlanta bex?

[BexandAlan 0]

I normally go Gatwick to Atlanta direct with BA. I checked this morning when we got the NOA2 and the flight I would like at the end of July (fingers crossed) will be around £340 ... I'm happy with that. I was gonna ship some stuff over but I'm leaning more towards taking advantage of my full baggage allowance and just being super strict with what I take .... ah I don't know ... details, details!!

thats what i do too, im thinking of going end of june, ba baggage allowance is a lot more than other airlines.

I think im going to have to ship some stuff over tho, but I am the sort of person that cannot book my flight or arrange anything till visa is in my sweaty palm.

All being well I am hoping to go at the end of june and the price for that is about £450.

Omg I got so lost in Atlanta the first time, its huge.
