Well, I think I've recovered from the London trip. I slept most of the day yesterday, even though I was excited cause it was snowing really heavy here. I love snow and yesterday my whole town was on a stand still, all the schools were closed. Anyways I updated my K-1 Visa Section of my site. I wrote up my Medical & Interview Experience you can find that here You can find a permanent link to that on my K-1 Visa Section.

Thanks for all your congratulations, it feels really surreal at the moment I still can't believe I have the visa. All that time waiting for it, having such a big build up too it and now I finally have it in my hands. I did have a good time in London none the less, we went to a London Theatre and saw Agatha Christie "The Mousetrap" which was very good. I also went shopping and bought a lovely Louis Vuitton bag, you can have a little peek of my bag here. It's not the real bag it's a cheap knock off it cost me 20 pounds, but it looks cool none the less lol. I also went into the Disney Store and bought a Welsh Winnie the pooh. Isn't he so cute with his Welsh Dragon and Rugby ball.

Oh and you'll all see my Wedding Dress when we have the Wedding lol. I know I said I'd take a picture and e mail you all. But I thought it might be better to leave it as a surprise for all to see, I'm going down to have it altered next week sometime. We haven't yet set a date, but it'll be towards the beginning of July. Ooh I'm so excited, I can't wait.

Everyone like my new layout? I got bored of the other one, I had a fiddle with the picture I had, and made it fade out like that. I think it looks really cute, especially with the lilac color.

Well, I'm getting really nervous and anxious now. I leave for London first thing tomorrow morning. I have all my documents ready copies and originals all in a big leaver arch A4 File. I keep thinking I've forgotten something or something isn't right. I've looked through the checklist and folder about 10 times, and everything seems to be in order I just have a feeling something isn't right. I guess it's just nerves though. My Medical Appointment is at 8am on Wednesday Morning, I should know before noon whether I have my visa or not. I'll be back around 10:30pm Wednesday night and will post on my blog good/bad news of the day.

Wish me luck everyone, and I'll talk to you guys when I get back. ~Hugs~

New Layout, it's kinda like the last ocean one but I choose a different pic this time. Also lookie at the bottom of the screen what I have scrolling.

"My love for you is like a journey, it starts at forever and ends at never. The road of love is never smooth, but I choose to go through it because of you. A ring is round, it turns forever and that's how long we'll be together."

I thought it was very sweet, I found it on a blog skin from BlogSkins.com The layout was very smiliar with the ocean and everything. Although the picture wasn't there anymore, and I didn't like the layout much, so I just took the verse :):) I thought it worked well with my blog theme :)

I'm thinking of working on another layout soon, but with my visa date and interview coming up I won't have much time for the computer. I was thinking too, when I actually emigrate to the US my title won't be "E mails across the ocean" no more. I'm stuck, I need a new title for my blog, my site "E mails From Across The Ocean" will be the same because that's still telling the story of how Clayton and I met. But my blog will be a different story, any ideas anyone?? I could use the help in finding a new title :)

Been working on a new Blinkie and graphic site, Stacie and I have teamed up in making a Blinkie and Graphic site together. I have to say it's looking really good, and I'm really pleased with myself. We've both put a lot of hard work into it, making our own backgrounds and banners for the actual site. To be honest I really don't think there's any linkware in it what's so ever :) We'll be opening it sometime next week so we'll let you guys know when it's up and running.

My Valentines package from Clayton came today, he sent me a large Hershey's Kiss and a lovely Valentine's card. I have to admit I'm not to keen on Hershey's chocolate I'd go for Cadbury's any day.

We didn't have much of a Valentine's really, seeming we're apart from each other. Our packages never arrived to each other on time. So we couldn't even exchange gifts & cards over the phone. Clayton got sick with a cold, so he left me early on that day to go lie down for a while. We're thinking of having a separate Valentine's just for us on Wednesday, we're gonna rent a movie together.

Just wanted to give a big hug to Clayton, he did call and we had a nice conversation about things which cheered me up. Can't wait to be in his arms again! Ok enough with the mushy stuff lol.

I had a nice thank you card off Clayton's parents today, which actually meant the world too me. They were thanking me for the christmas presant I send them, yes I know tiny bit late but they are busy people. At least they are coming round slowly to the idea of "Clayton & I"

I also booked my train tickets for the London trip. We leave at 10:30am on Tuesday the 24th and leave London at 7pm on the 25th. It's going to be at least a day and a half before I get to a pc to let you guys know how things went. So if it's good news I'll ask Clayton to blog for me :)

Hmph I have a cold, I was up till 3am last night cause I couldn't breathe ugh I always seem to catch everything. I haven't really done much today, worked on the site for a little while, I put new title fonts on the K-1 visa section and added a few new pages and touches.

I had heart failure ealier, my Online Romance MSN group suddenly disappeared. I lost everything for about 20mins. Stacie also had loads of photos from her blog and stuff stored on my site, my blog was completely whipped clean in matter of minutes. I was panicking like anything cause I didn't back up anything. Suddenly it just reappeared out of no where like nothing had happened I was so relieved. So Stacie and I have been backing up everything, just in case.

I also added 2 new daily reads Stef & Collin and Heidi & Tim

Well, my weekend was all right. Haven't done much really I've just been resting my foot, it's getting better day by day. I went to the doctors Friday my granddad came round to help me. I was going there to get my Sick paper, seeming my self certificate one had finished. Typical the hospital didn't fax my notes to my doctor so I had to sit and wait to be seen by the doctor to get one. It didn't take too long though, and I was out really quick. He gave me another 2wks of work, apparently what I've done is worse than breaking the foot and it doesn't heal overnight. Hmm just hope it gets better by the 25th February.

Saturday was ok, I rested most of the day, my mum went to town to get some things. And some supplies, I'm making Clayton something for Valentines, I can't mention what it is though seeming he reads my blog lol. I feel really bad that it will be a few days late, but I just can't go anywhere to get the things I need for it. Saturday night I went round my next door neighbors for a chat, to catch up seeming we haven't chatted for so long. We ended up watching "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" which I'm really getting into now.

Sunday we went round to my sisters for tea, my nephew Ethan was two on Saturday. So we took his presents round and we had some Birthday cake. That was nice, although we couldn't stay for long. A close friend of the family was coming round early evening so we had to leave in time to get back for her.

Gillian was mine and my other sisters nanny and babysitter when we we're small. It's funny she actually moved out to Vancouver Canada when she was like 20 years old, she was doing a nanny course out there. She stayed out there for a good 10yrs, and now in the last 3yrs she's moved back to the UK. It's funny how Vancouver is so close to Washington, and where Clayton lives. He's literally living on the boarder. She was telling me that I'll love that part of the US. She's been over the boarder many times, and has actually been to Claytons town. What a coincidence how things work out huh?

Today has been ok, I managed to book a hotel for my London trip, we'll be going the day before. Seeming my Medical appointment is like at 8am. We managed to get a pretty close by hotel too, the Doctor's office is like 53 Great Cumberland Place, and the hotel is like 41 Great Cumberland Place so only like 10 blocks down. It was pretty cheap too £85 for a family room.

Well, after nearly 8mths of waiting I finally got a letter this morning from the American Embassy. Saying that my Medical and Interview Date is the 25th February. I am so nervous now, I keep thinking that they are going to say no and refuse me. And then I won't be with Clayton. We have nearly everything in order now. I have all of Clayton's bank statements and a letter from his work, we also have a co-sponser with the same information. I just hope they won't say "Clayton doesn't earn enough so we can't issue you the visa" It's not like he won't earn that much money later on in the year. He finishes his real estate course in March, and that should bring in enough money.

I know I worry to much, but we've invested so much money into this I just hope I won't get refused. Hmph maybe I'm only looking at the negative side.

Well, my foot isn't really much better. It's still very sore and I still can't put any weight on it. The doctor said it will take a while to heal properly. Which kinda sucks really, I haven't done all that much, just been resting a lot. I got this really sweet card off Erin, thanks sweetie it really cheered me up.



Thanks for all the best wishes everyone, hopefully I'll be on the mend soon. I talked with Clayton for a little while today before he left for work. Oh yeah my grandad gave me this picture today Click here It was taken back in October last year when Clayton came over. I think it was like the last shot of the film, and only now my grandad had them developed. So it was nice to get another photo to put in the album with all the others.
