The Planning Begins!

Time sure is flying by! I have so much to think about and do that I don't even know where to start. Work is in full swing! We don't have the same sort of inspections as I went through last year (Ofsted) but we do have the equivalent...which is happening next week. Not only do we have to prepare for that, reports are due next Friday and it seems every spare moment I have is filled with other things (Christmas decorations, year 6 carols, covering classes for people who are off ill...the list goes on!) Needless to say, my work days are filled to the brim. AND somehow people still have the nerve to ask "so how's the wedding planning coming?" Sheesh!

I'm just kidding... it's starting to form and a location and date have NEARLY been picked, but I'll let you all know that when it happens. You can all count on it being a non-traditional, casual wedding with plenty of cheesy music, good food, lotsa dancing, and easy going fun! Georjean, I'd love to have a romantic wedding in Scottish castle but I don't think 99% of our family would make it! The thought did cross my mind however and it would be picturesque! All I know for sure at this point is that I want my hair out of my face.... needless to say there's a lot of other more important things I've yet to work out (or even realize they need working out!)

Since softball has been done for a few months now, a couple guys from our softball team have gotten us involved in another sport - dodgeball! Alright, well the last time I played dodgeball I was in elementary school and I was wearing sweatpants that were inside out and backwards... I'm a bit rusty I suppose and the competition is a lot steeper than my days in gym class! However, we are currently tied for first place among quite a few teams so that's a good thing! We play Thursday nights and have a really great time. Speaking of sporting activities, Blairret are out watching a football game tonight (in the horrible cold...) so I have the flat to myself. It's quite nice to have control of the tv and just eat soup and sandwiches while doing my school work in peace and quiet. I love having them around but I take advantage of "amy time"!

I'm still waiting to blog about a new little niece or nephew. I think my sister is nearly a week late for baby #3 which I'm not really surprised about since he/she is just following the trend of her previous two! Sorry Erin, I hope that things happen soon!!

Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments and congratulations. We are very thankful and couldn't be happier - will keep you posted on the confirmation of the location and date - FYI it will likely be in Ontario and the last weekend in July/first week of August of next summer. Keep it open until I give you all further details!

All my love,
