Hehehe Clayton's in the paper Bellingham Herald I thought it was pretty funny, I can't believe how mad it can get the day after thanksgiving. Although I am looking forward, in going on a shopping spree myself next year lol, but I won't be one of them mad people who are outside the mall at like 3am. Crazy people lol.

Not alot has happened today, been quite a lazy day, I've worked on my website all day I made a Welsh Recipe page and I've also updated our All about us page I also added some Christmas features to the blog lol not much just the little teddy and xmas tree.

I talked to Clayton for a couple of hours before he left for work, we played yahoo pool for a while, so that was cool. Hehehe Miriam my mum has taken the parcel off me and hidden it so I can't open it no fair huh :( lol guess I'll have to wait till Christmas to open it lol.

Haha I'm off now to watch the new series of Absolutely Fabulous this is also the BBC site I think the show is soo funny, I think it's hilarious anyone seen it before??

Aww look what I had off Stacie yesterday, thanks doll it's so sweet.




I also had a cool e-greeting card off Sarah which I liked thanks for that girl.

Well, yaay my tatty bear is now up there again. I struggled for ages trying to find the exact pic to go back up there. Lydia gave me a site to loads of tatty bear pics thanks hun for your help. So after loads of searching I found the bear saved it to my pc, then uploaded it to my blog. The text I did myself, it's not an exact match from before but it works, I also finally got rid of the blog advert so it looks way cool now.

Oooh I had my christmas present off Clayton. I was in bed this morning and knock knock on the door. I got up and it was a Fed Ex fan with a parcel for meee. Hmm Clayton's given my mother instructions for me not to open it. Plus she has to wrap it for me for christmas day. Ooh I'm so excited lol. I'm also waiting on another parcel from him seeming that's not all I'm getting right hun ;) lol .

I called Clayton way early today he had to be up at 4am to start work at 5:45am seeming it's meant to be the busiest day of the year for the Mall and stores. He finishes in 2hrs so I promised I'd wait up for him. I also called my drs to book an appotiment to see the nurse, I have to get all my vaccinations up to date for the visa, and medical. So I go in on Tuesday afternoon, eeek I hate needles.

That's been by day, pretty good really. Anyways hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and I hope ya'll enjoyed the shopping spree hehe.

Awww look what I had off Erin

Thanks hun it's so sweet of you.

Well today I went Christmas shopping with my sister, I bought a few things for Clayton and his family. Seeming I need to ship that out soon, the last posting date for the US is December 11th I believe. Now all I have to worry about is my family and friends lol at least I got some of it done. I can't believe it's only like 4wks away aaaah lol.

When I got back I chatted to Clayton for a while and worked on my Christmas Splash Page I wasn't intending on doing one but Stacie got me into the idea lol thanks doll for all the help ealier :)

Hmm I just noticed my teddy bears on my blog aren't showing. I hope it doesn't stay like that. I didn't save the images to my pc. Oh well if they don't come back I'm gonna have to look for another blog layout again. I work all day tomorrow till 4pm at least, so tomorrow is gonna be a long day. So I better head for bed it's way late here lol.

Just wanna wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow, hope ya'll will have a good one. ~Hugs~ to everyone.

Oh my gosh I just checked our online case status and the BCIS approved our Petition for the Fiancee visa.

"This case has been approved. On November 26, 2003, an approval notice was mailed."

I am so excited yaaaaay the long wait is finally over!!!
I so had to tell everyone lol.

Monday, November 24, 2003

Gosh I can't believe it's the 24th of November already one month today and it's Christmas Eve aaaah. I haven't done any of my Christmas shopping yet, my mum and I are meant to be going to town on Wednesday to get most of it done, I hope. Not much has happened today, I didn't start work until 3pm so I had quite the lazy morning. I did start working on my new story though The Christmas Meeting I've been looking for some more cute graphics for the site, but the ones I want I can't get cause the site is down. Oh well guess I'll just have to wait.

My gran has been saving me free flight tokens to the US, from our local newspaper. But I just checked on the site now, and Seattle WA isn't down on the list only Washington. My gran must have gotten confused with Washington State and Washington the city. Oh well, I might still get a free flight depending on if I pay the extra for the destination. We'll see about that though.

I talked with Clayton for about an hour before he left for work. He just called me on his break, but his calling card ran out on us. Guess I'll talk to him in the morning when he calls. I also talked with Stacie for a while, I helped her out on her blog archives page.

That's about it really, it's freezing here at the moment. Jack frost was out and about last night and I bet he'll be out again tonight. So it looks like it's time to wrap up warm! Anyways it's getting late, I'm off to bed.

Sunday, November 23, 2003

Hmm it's half way through the weekend already, boo hoo. Not much has happened today, I've had quite the lazy day. Clayton rang me this morning, so we chatted for a while. Then I went back to sleep and didn't wake up till like gone 11am. Talked with Anne a little this morning, she was quite upset that England won the world cup. Sorry Anne ~Hugs~

I worked a little on the site, not much just tidying a few pages out. Still working on the new story so that should appear there sometime soon. After lunch I started to do a little cleaning, my room needed a good clean out. I started sorting through my little box full of Clayton's things he'd send me over the years. I had so many emails from him that I printed out and kept. I couldn't believe how many I had once I counted them all. Guess how many I had ?? lol I had 102 emails, they went all the way back to the first email he ever sent me. I'm thinking of buying a big display folder and putting them all in there.

Stacie's story was also put up on the Internet Romance website today. If you haven't read her story please check it out here

Talked with Clayton for about 3yrs today before he headed off to work. He just called me on his break which was nice, I love getting goodnight calls off him. My evening was alright after that, I had some dinner and watched "Ice Age" with the rest of the family. But now I'm getting sleepy "Yawn Yawn" I think I'm gonna head for bed. Good night all.

Thursday, November 20, 2003

Hello all, I haven't blogged for a couple of days. I haven't been that well, I've had a terrible ear infection so I haven't felt like writing much. Not alot has happened really, work has been ok we have a fancy dress day tomorrow. "A star in your eyes" Hmm so I don't know who I'll goes as, we'll see. Anyway it's for Children in need This happens every year in November, it's a UK charity all the money raised goes towards helping less fortunate children throughout the UK. Please go to the link I have above and if you can please make a small donation, thank you.

Been working on the site, and I've added a Photo page And also our Engagement Photos I will be adding some more shortly but for now, that's how it stands. I have also been working on another part of our story, it's all about when I flew out to Seattle for 7wks. So that should make for an interesting read once I get it up there.

I talked to Clayton for about an hour after I got back from work, he left about an hour ago for work. He said he might give me a call on break, so here's hoping. He's got me something special, and keeps teasing me about it. Seeming Clayton is the Store merchandiser for the Bellingham Railway Museum Stacie had asked me to ask Clayton about a train set for her dad, well turns out Stacie liked the set that Clayton had in stock so now she's buying it. And I've helped him make his first real sale. So he's getting me a thank you gift. Awww how sweet lol.

And that has been my last few days really, I'm off to do some blog hopping before bed.

Monday, November 17, 2003

Wow it's Monday night already that day went by fast. Today hasn't been to bad, Clayton woke me up quite early this morning with a phone call. There was a song on the radio he wanted me to hear, which was sweet of him. We talked on the phone for a while, lol and I drifted off to sleep. He was so sweet just letting me sleep and him listening to my breathing. Anyways once we said goodbye I tried to get some more sleep, but there were road works right outside our house on our driveway. The drilling got on my nerves so much, that I had to get up.

After I had woken up, my sister and I watched a movie before she had to leave for university. My other sister was driving her up there, it's a 2hr drive. My dad and I had to look after Joanna (My niece) till they got back. She's a cutie, she's only 3. Then I had to leave for work for 31/2 hrs, the shift wasn't too bad. Just wish I didn't miss Clayton, when I finished he started work again. So we haven't talked much today, I was hoping he'd call on break but he hasn't, he must have a busy shift today. That's pretty much my day really, spend the rest of the night online. Working on the site and chatting to Stacie on and off.

Hmm it's getting late, and I'm getting sleepy. So I'm off to bedfordshire, talk to you all tomorrow.

Saturday, November 15, 2003

Ooooh look everyone, I had an award from the Site Fights today.

I am so pleased with myself lol. Today has been a good day I finally had my webset for my homepage go check it out Homepage so I have been working on that all evening. Lets hope that will be the end of my silly little petty problems!! I think it looks very original, I thought it was cool seeming that's where I met Clayton for the first time. And Clayton and I went up the Space Needle together. So it was very special to me that I got this set.

Oh and I just want to give a big thank you and a hug to Stacie for being a much needed friend. Thanks hun you're the best ~Big Hugs~

I haven't talked to Clayton much today, we talked for about an hour and a half before he had to go to work. And then he called me during his 15min break which I love getting. Been chatting to Stacie for most of the evening which was really nice. Anyways it's getting late so I'm off to bedfordshire. Nite nite all.

Hey everyone :) things have been going good with me. I didn't blog yesterday cause I was at my sisters babysitting. I did a little bit of Christmas shopping today with me sis, bought something for Clayton, lol but can't say cause he reads here (sorry hun) My little sister Emily has been doing a school production of Fame, so I went to see it tonight. It was really good, everyone did really well.

Oh and my other sister Eloise is back for the weekend from university. So it's nice to be able to catch up with her. Anyways I have work tomorrow then I think we are gonna have a girlie Saturday night in. Watching movies and stuff, that'll be fun. At the moment I'm chatting to Stacie, catching up with things, and just chatting. I was hoping Clayton would call on his break, but he hasn't as yet. Anyways I'm off to bed, hope you all have a good weekend. ~Hugs~

Wednesday, November 12, 2003

Awww today has been such a long day. I worked 9-4 and I didn't stop all day. We were very short staffed, we were all so disorganized and it was mad. I'm glad to be home and talking with my hunny. I've found this very neat webset for my home/index page, I've paid out good money for it so it should look really cool once I get it up. I've been looking for a nice webset for the front page, something that looks very unique. And I've found it, will let everyone know when it's up and running!

I've been doing alot of Christmas shopping online the last couple of days. So I'm getting it done slowly. Oooh and we now have Broadband which is so cool. The connection is alot faster, and at least my mum can use the phone when I'm on the net talking to Clayton lol which is a big help.

It's been quite quiet online lately haven't chatted to Stacie or Sarah in the last couple of days. So I'm off to do a little blog hopping before I'm off to bed.



Tuesday, November 11, 2003

Oooh guess what, I found my dream Chapel. I've been searching for a place we can get married in once the visa goes through. And I found it, it's called "The Belle wedding chapel" How beautiful is that??? The more and more I look at it the more I see my dream wedding :) it's perfect. Just what I've been looking for, not too big very classy and pretty and you can have the reception there too. So I wouldn't have to worry about that, it would be all in one. Only thing I have to do now is talk to Clayton about it. Ooooh I can't wait!! I'm really excited about it all. I'm hoping Clayton will say yes and agree to it, fingers crossed hey!

Not much else happened today, I talked to Clayton for about 2hrs before he up and left for work. He came home early Sunday night with a migrane headache, so I hope he's alright today now. I've been trying to find some nice music to put on my blog, but the songs I want I can't find to download grrr. Nevemind I'll have a good search tomorrow now. Oh well I'm off to bed, ooh I feel all dreamy now hehehe!

Sunday, November 09, 2003

Well I'm so pleased with myself, my site is looking really spiffy!! I've been working on it for weeks now trying to get it the way I like it. And it's coming along great. I just finished my K1 Timeline page I've been working on the Immigration section for a couple of days. I created a links page, did alot of research for that. Finding different embassy's for different countries. So I hope it helps some people out!

Todays been a nice relaxing day, just chilling and watching tv. I'm chatting to Clayton right now, and just surfin the web. So I'll post more later, I'm gonna do some searching for some nice graphics for the site. :)

Saturday, November 08, 2003

Today hasn't been a bad day, work was pretty hectic but I survived lol. I haven't got bad hours next week really. I thought I would have really awful shifts but turns out I only have like 2hrs overtime. Not a whole lot really, but it's something. They are employing 2 new people to the team so that's good. Anyways I have the day off tomorrow yaaaay, it'll be nice to relax and have a lie in tomorrow morning.

I came home, and called Clayton before he left for work. I was telling him the other day I miss having packages from him in the mail. I used to get one like every 2wks, and now I don't get hardly any off him :( so if your reading this baby, send me something in the mail I miss having a letter off you, or even a tape with songs off the radio.

LOL talking about songs, my dad started to put on the Christmas music on this evening. He's getting into the festive season already hehehe! He's even counting down the days till he puts the Christmas decorations up lol, what is it with men and Christmas?? They get like little kids around this time of the year.

I also helped my little sis out with her lines for the school play, she's in the school production of "Fame" which actually will be showing this Friday coming. Anyways we had a nice dinner this evening and we all sat down and watched The Mummy Returns. I love that movie lol. That was my day really, I'm off to bed before I fall down, I'm so tired today. Nite all!

Friday, November 07, 2003

It's Friday yaaaay, I've got that Friday feeling lol Today hasn't been all that bad, work was pretty hectic but we won't get into that tonight. Been working on an Immigration Links page for my site, so I've just finished that today, so that looks pretty neat. I was chatting with Stacie, but Clayton phoned my mobile and I had to dash. Sorry I missed you hun!! I swear my mobile needs a new battery everytime I kept on answering it, to chat with him the phone just went dead, even though it was charging. Hmm he rang about 4 times, and that took most of his 15min break up, so we didn't get to chat :( Oh well he'll call me in the morning, and I can't wait to hear his voice.

Anyways that's my day over with, I'm off to bed I have work in the morning. And then I have Sunday off yaaay. Can't wait to have some extra sleep, this week has been quite manic. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Thursday, November 06, 2003

So what does everyone think of my new layout?? I've been working on it all night, I think it's pretty cool. Can't seem to get rid of the blog advert though, annoying much. But anyway I like it, I got bored with the other layout, and I think this one is so much nicer. Stacie and I have been looking for blog skins for about a week now. And I think I've found what I was looking for.

Not much is happening really I'm waiting up for Clayton, he's only got a 4hr shift today so I thought I'd catch him before I went to bed. Work with me was fine, they called me this morning to come in an hour earlier. But I think the next few days will be normal shifts which is good.

Hmm I'm watching a film called "Fear" with Reese Witherspoon it's really freaky, but good. Anyways I'm off to call Clayton and go to bed. Nite nite all

Wednesday, November 05, 2003

Oooh look what Stacie sent me and Sarah.

Thanks Stacie I love it. Adopted from Faith

Well today is Guy Fawkes aka bon fire night. Throughout Britain on November 5th bon fires are set alight and fireworks light the sky. To commemorate our country's
most notorious traitor, Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. in 1605, but failed and was caught and executed. You can read more about Guy Fawkes here The Gunpowder plot

My area is full of fireworks, the sky is full of them. LOL I'm jumping every time they go off it's pretty funny. I've been watching them from my bedroom window there quite pretty, but make such a noise. Other than that my day has been fine, went to work and found out that one of the girls is leaving to go to another job. So there might be alot of overtime coming up, don't know if that's a good or bad thing!! Oh well nevermind.

I'm chatting too Clayton, and working on my site a little. Clayton has today off so it's nice to be able to spend some time with him.

Monday, November 03, 2003

Well it's Monday night already gosh the days really go by fast. My dad was right when you hit 20 your life becomes a rollercoaster. Anyway my weekend was alright worked on my website alot over the last 2 days changing the font and adding a few graphics about the place. I think it looks pretty neat!

Not alot happened today went to work a little later than expected, they phoned up wanting me too work 3-6:30 instead of 10:30-2. Which wasn't bad really seeming I got to stay in bed alot longer. Only downfall was that I missed talking with Clayton before he left for work, but the sweetie did call my cell to wish me a good night and sweet dreams. Isn't he sweet. Anyways he has 2days off now, and I have tomorrow off too so that's nice. I really need a day of just chatting and being with my hunny, It's been really hard to get used to being on your own again, and I miss him so much.

I talked with Stacie ealier this evening, and if your reading hun sorry I missed you :) Anyways we had a long chat about how hard it is leaving your loved one at the airport. And, how long you should be apart from each other, before you start you lives together. You can't really live your life over a computer, and the longer your apart from each other the more strain it puts on the relationship. It is hard being oceans apart from your loved one, people think I'm coping alright with the distance I'm really not, it tears me apart some days. I just can't wait till the visa is processed for me to be with my hunny again.

Anyways enough of my whining I'm off to bed.
