Where has the last fortnight gone??

Someone has definitely stolen the last fortnight and I would like it back please!

We are still in the midst of wedding preparations but all is going very smoothly..... there are only small things like cleaning up the middle room, which is a guest room with a queen sized bed under all the junk in there. So it is off to Phils (DH) place this weekend for a few trips to transfer the stuff in the guest room into his house at Watson.

I have had my hair de-greyed and blonded....a bit blonde I think but everyone is saying the right things like - nooooo it isn't too blonde. And I have had it trimmed into a 'becoming do'

So I thought it might be fun to pop in a couple of heritage layouts from my parents...... just because I can.

My Mum and Dad have been together for over 50 years. Each one of them have their own gifts and personalities and bring these to the relationship. Not everyone could manage my Dad like my mother has over the years. But sometimes, even though they are older and their health gives them grief, they look at eachother and you know they love eachother totally!

So now as Jessica and Jason get married in 17 days........ I hope they have found a love that lasts throughout their lives!

When I was making the wedding cake for Jessica and Jason I wrote this.....

It hardly seems possible....

Wasn't it yesterday I held my small baby daughter in my arms, swathed in a blanket after her birth
Wasn't it only yesterday that I watched her as she played on the swings in the park and she found her shadow
Wasn't it yesterday that I helped her through all of that hormonal stuff and bitchy friends at 12 years old when those things are so important
Wasn't it yesterday that I waited for her to come home all night , and when she did at 9am I grounded her (for 3 weeks)
Wasn't it yesterday that I got sick of her lying in bed until 2pm every day that I demanded she got a job
Wasn't it yesterday when she and I got through her late teenage years that we finally were getting on again she left home to move out by herself

It was yesterday I made her wedding cake and she will marry her gorgeous man in March

And today I cry a little because I am so proud of her, and remember like it was yesterday.....

17 days to go....... until WD (Wedding Day)

To live is like to love - all reason against it, and all healthy instinct for it - S. Butler
