Hey everyone, it's been a while since I last posted. Things have been really good my end. We ended up going for the photographer she's a really nice lady and her work is amazing. We've been looking into Limo services finding the best prices and comparing them. Haven't found a decent price yet, still looking. The other thing I've been looking into is flowers, I still can't make my mind up if I want Silk or Fresh flowers. Fresh flowers would be really nice for the day if the weather is really nice. Although with the Silk flowers I can keep forever. We've found a lovely lady to do the Fresh flowers and her prices are reasonable. She said her Bridesmaids would be $35 and her Bride Bouquets would be $75 which is really good. Her site is here for you to take a look at her bouquets.

Clayton's been busy starting up his Real estate so we've been back and forth to the office to sort out his license and stuff. Ooh Saturday I received my Washington State ID card through the Mail it looks really cool. I also opened a bank account at the local bank, I could only open a Savings account because I didn't have a Social Security number yet. I'll apply for that once we're married, and have sorted my permanent residency out. That's another thing I better start looking into is the visa paper work. I've got all the forms, I just need to fill them out. I want it about 99% done before the wedding so then I only have to get a copy of our Marriage certificate and send it off to Nebraska Service Center.

We've been kinda slacking with things the last couple of days, because Clayton's had a few days off work and the weather has been so amazing really hot up in the 80s. So we've taken the opportunity to go out for drives to parks and the beach to get a sun tan. It's been really good to get out and about, and spend sometime with each other. Last night we were up until 2am playing monopoly, it's just so fun to do things like that with each other again.

Some other good news, things have been going really well with my future parents in laws. Last weekend, Clayton's dad came round with a vase full of flowers for me. He said Maya (Clayton's Mom) thought you might like some color in the Cottage. She had hand picked them from the garden, she'd even put a purple bow around the vase. So that was very sweet of her. Then yesterday we were meant to go down his parents place for a BBQ for Clayton's Birthday. But his mom cancelled at the last minute saying his dad had a very bad cold, which was understandable.

His mom said she'd stop by our place to drop the Birthday Cake that she had ordered for Clayton. But somehow we ended up going down there anyway, just plans kinda led us to his parents place. We stayed there for about 4hrs, and his mom had put candles on the B-day Cake for him, it was sweet. We all talked for a while, and I have to say the icy atmosphere is slowly melting. As we were leaving his mom ended up giving us some groceries that they don't need. His Mom & Dad are on a strict diet and so the food that they don't eat they were giving to us. We came out with like 4 full bags, and a coffee maker. They had bought a new coffee maker, and so they had given us their old one. Which is actually really nice and in great condition. Just before we were about to leave his mom gave me some pink roses that she had picked from the garden, which again was really sweet. I then brought up that I still had her vase, and she told me to keep it. :) So things are really going great with that, I felt a lot more welcome.

Tomorrow we are going to the Whatcom Humane Society We are going to look at the resuce cat shelter. I really miss having a cat around the house, I have grown up with cats. And I just miss having one around the house, we live in the country side so it's very peaceful. And when Clayton's in work I get just a tad lonely. I mean back in the UK I always had my sisters around the house, and even the road noise was something. Out here it's nothing, only the noise of the nature, which is really nice, but sitll lonely. I've been looking at the cats on this website and found one I really liked called Lilly I've been thinking of getting a cat for my Birthday which is June 6th, Clayton did say he'd get me one for my Birthday so we'll see.

Well that's about it from my end, wow I've written so much. Hope everyone is doing good. I'll stop by ya'll soon.
