Today has been an eventful day, I spend all morning phoning my bank and Credit Card Places to Cancel my cards. It was funny when they asked me "What is the reason for closing your account" "Um well I'm emigrating to America in 2wks" Oh and then the whole story comes out, people want to know why and such. Hehe I don't mind telling them, they are all happy for me and wish me luck for the future.

This afternoon I went to town to get my US Dollars, I now have $1000 sitting beside me. It cost me about 585 pounds about 5 pound less than what I expected. My friend Catherine and I went round the shops, I bought this cool Welsh top it's red and says "Wales" on it with the Welsh Flag in the middle. I then bought a nice baige flowery skirt. And a lovely Purple skirt with matching top. They look lovely very summery. I'll take a pic in the next couple of days.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Drs to copy all my medical records, for when I move. At least the Drs over there will have my records then. And on Thursday I'm having my hair cut and colored, I'm thinking of having "Kelly Clarksons" Hair Style, what does everyone think? I think it looks lovely.

I had a good weekend. Saturday I went into town to have my eyes tested, and to get new glasses. So I have new glasses, ready to go away. My mum and I went round the shops while my dad went to the Record fair. Sunday was a lovely relaxing day, and final packing of my suitcase :)

Oh I just want to wish Clayton my baby good Luck in his retest of his real estate exam, I'm sure you'll ace it this time. You've studied so hard over the last week. Good Luck babes.

My sister and my niece & nephew came round today. It was fun to have them round for all the afternoon, I'm gonna miss them growing up when I'm away. We then went out to the shops to get some lunch. I went to the travel agents and ordered my US dollars, 590 pounds will get me exactly $1000 which isn't bad but last time I went it was like 570 for a $1000. Hope the exchange rate changes in my favor when I pick them up.

This evening I went to have my second dress fitting, wow I couldn't believe her work. She's put a lot of effort into re sizing my dress, and you wouldn't think at all that it has been altered. Hehe and I was gonna take a pic, but the dress was full of pins seeming she hadn't stitched it all up yet. So I didn't want to show everyone, when it was like that. It doesn't really do the dress any justice when it's like that. I have to go down a week Wednesday for my final fitting, it should be all ready then. Awww I can't wait.

I've been looking at flower bouquets on ebay, some of the artificial ones are really lovely. There are some talented people out there. I really don't know what I want whether I want fresh or artificial ones. At least with the artificial ones you get to keep it as it was for keepsake, so I'm thinking of leaning towards the idea of artificial bouquets.

Went shopping yesterday with my mum and my sisters, we went searching for Bridesmaid dresses, as you all know. We searched everywhere, and came to a Lilac dress in Debenhams click here to see. I think it looks lovely, the pic isn't that big to see, but it's very light and summary. The girls liked it and that was the main thing. Then we went to a jeweller's to re size my Great Grandmothers wedding ring. It fits me perfect now.

We went to have lunch at a local restaurant called "starving Jacks" I had this to die for Salad bowl lol it was lovely. After that we went shopping again, I bought this white top with a Tatty Bear on it, holding a flower. Hehe I have a thing for Tatty Bears, oh I also went into a craft store and saw a Cross Stitch with a Tatty Bear on it, I thought it was cute. I ended up buying it, thought I'd have a go and Cross Stitch, my gran is very into it so I thought I'd give it a go. Here's what it should look like once I've finished... Tatty Bear Cross Stitch

When I was in the craft store I also found some lovely Wedding Invitations, of course they are Tatty Bear, hand crafted though. I took a picture of them here When I saw them I fell in love with them, so I bought a few sets of those.

Hey everyone, hope ya'll had a great Easter, I did. Not a a lot has been happening with me, I've started packing my suitcases ready to go. I have one suitcase of clothes, and the other with everything else. My room is looking really bear now, 3wks tomorrow I fly to the US not long now. My bon voyage party is on the 24th April which is a week Saturday.

Tomorrow I'm going down town with my sisters and my mother, to shop for Bridesmaid dresses. So that should be fun. Then on Thursday I go to have my second dress fitting, I can't wait to see my dress. I will definitely get my mom to take a pic for you guys and I'll e mail it to all on Thursday night :):)

Hehe was talking to Clayton, and get this he kinda told me that he hadn't completely unpacked his suitcase from the October trip to the UK. I went totally nuts on him, but that's not all!! He asked me if I had lost a top, or couldn't find one. For months and months now, I've been looking for a white top I had that said "Always trust your heart" I don't know what happened to it. Little did I know, that my soon to be husband had it in his suitcase all this time.

Men huh, can't live with them can't live without them hehe!

Went to an Easter Fair today, with my sister Sarah. It was in the local Church, as they were raising money for the family center they run. I took Joanna my niece there, She was happy seeming there was face painting, badge making and they were making Easter Baskets as well. Hehe so guess what I did for 2hrs out of my day.

Clayton passed 2 out of 3 sections of his exam. He got 60% out of the 3rd section but the pass was 70% so he needs to retake the third section again. Which I believe he'll be doing next week, I know you can do it babes. Hehe Rome wasn't build in a day.

Oooh lookie what I made...

I made the Easter Bunny from a Tutorial, thanks too Melissa's Pixel Garden

Yay my tickets came today, ahh I'm so excited I can't wait. It was wired cause I had the tickets technically all the information was there and the itinerary, and a leaflet explaining what "E Tickets" were. I read it and it made sense why I didn't have the tickets, but I called the travel place just in case. Apparently it's a new Electronic way of ticketing, you just go to your check in desk like normal with your itinerary and they'll have your ticket on the computer.

My mum came up to me Saturday, and gave me my Great Grandmothers wedding ring. She wanted me to have it, I was so honored it was a really special moment to me. Clayton also booked the hotel for our Honeymoon night, we will be staying at the Hotel Bellwether In the Executive Suite. Overlooking Bellingham Bay how romantic is that.

I've been making over my Sleepless In Seattle - Online Romance MSN Group. I'm trying to make it more popular and so forth, and bring new members in. I'd love to help other people in the same situation as me, Online Long Distance Relationship.

Clayton is taking his final Real estate exam tomorrow, it's a 4hr exam with 135 questions. Wish him luck everyone. If he passes this then he'll be a qualified agent, how neat is that. Good Luck baby I know you can do it.

Ooh my Tiara came yesterday, it's so lovely. I also went to town yesterday and bought my wedding shoes, they are designed like ballet shoes and are white, of course. Everything is coming together slowly. Exactly a month from tomorrow, I'll be with Clayton yay.

Joanna my niece had a wonderful Birthday party, it was a lot of fun. Here's a pic of her having her after having her face painted... Face Painted

Was talking to Clayton's friend Chris today, and he's offered me the job of website designer for the Bellingham Railway Museum website. And I accepted, so how cool is that. I know I don't like trains all that much, but I guess I'll have to get used to them being married to a train buff an all lol. It'll also give me something to do, besides do nothing lol. I'll have to think of how I can make the website more presentable, I mean it is like a guys website as it is I don't wanna bring to much of my femine ways into it lol. I'm going to have a real good go at it though :):)

My grandparents (My Dads parents) are coming down today to wish me luck with everything and to give me a wedding present. So that'll be nice to see them, I've asked everyone back here to give me money as a gift because I can exchange it and get more out of the dollars when I'm over there.

Oh and my mum has booked the flight tickets to come over for the Wedding. My Mum & Dad Eloise & Emily (my sisters) and my grandparents (My mums parents) are traveling over on the 29th June - 12 July. And everyone is so excited, they haven't traveled out of the UK before.

Added a countdown to my blog, yay 32 days and I get to be with Clayton forever, mm can't wait it's been too long. Exactly 6mths since we last saw each other, this is the hardest separation we've had. We've always had a 4mth gap, but 6mths is getting too much now. I can't wait to be with him again.

Today has been good, the weather has been lovely so spring like nice and warm and fresh. Eloise my sister, and my friend Catherine went for a long walk, up the mountains. It was lovely seeing all the town, the view was amazing. Then this evening I went round to my next door neighbour to have a nice chat and to catch up with things.

Nearly finished my Wedding section, you can get a sneak peak of it here I've made it into a separate section for my site. I'll update it a lot over the next few months, and I'll add the story of our wedding day there also. So watch the space :)

Tomorrow my niece Joanna is 4yrs old, she has like a little Jungle Gym party tomorrow evening. So that should be fun, I'll take loads of pics :)

I took this quiz twice and I'm a "Whisper Dream" I think I'm a little bit of both :)

Went to the gym today with my sister, which was good. Had a good workout, and felt great afterwards. Came home and had a nice long bath, then started writing out my invitations for my bon voyage party.

Oh my dad said he was coming to the US to give me away at the wedding yay :) He wasn't going to come at the start, he couldn't get time of work and he wasn't to keen on flying. But I think my mum coaxed him a little. They went down to get their passport photos done today.

Arr and you know what for months now I've been wanting goggle to pick up each individual page of my site. Well I changed the links last week, when I was sorting out my site. I put all sections of my site into sub directories, well Stacie just told me she did a search on goggle and one of my pages came up but with the wrong link. It's because I updated them last week, and all the old links are now dead. So hopefully goggle will crawl the web and my site soon to update the links.

Well, I've had my little moan I'm off to phone Clayton we're gonna watch "Love Actually" together.

Well, I had my dress fitting yesterday yay the lady can alter it for me. I was so depressed because I hadn't lost the weight that I wanted to get into it. So I called this lady, who alters dresses already made, and off I went last night. Her first impressions were ah no can't do anything with it, but then she started thinking. It was in my favor that I was short lol, the skirt was a little too long, so she is going to take the dress up a little. Then she's going to use that material to put panels in, on the waist. I really didn't want to part with the dress, because as soon as I saw it I knew it was the one and I fell in love with it instantly. So I was starting to get quite upset, that I wouldn't be able to wear it down the isle. But yaay she can alter it for me.

I've been working on our wedding section for the site, it's looking pretty good. So as soon as it's up and running I'll post it on here.

My mum bought "Love Actually" today so we've had a girlie night in and watched that. It was pretty good, I enjoyed it.

Haven't talked to Clayton much over the last few days. He's been working early morning shifts, so we haven't had much time together. Although he has called me on his lunch break which was nice. I'll be glad when the distance is over with.

Hey Everyone not much going on here. Just been chatting to Clayton a lot, he had his real estate exam yesterday and passed yaaay. He now has to go down to Everett for another big test before he gets his license. Then he'll be a real estate agent, so that's good news. Ooh I was bidding on this beautiful Tiara for the wedding and won it woo hoo. It's stunning believe me, I want to post the link. But I know Clayton comes round here sooo.

Been working on a new layout for my blog when I'm over there. I decided to call it "A Welsh Girl In Washington" thanks to Julie for the idea!
