1. I became a British citizen today! ;D

2. Although my in-laws didn't come up...they just returned from Senegal/Gambia, MIL has a bad cold, plus with the bad weather & the flooding -- just not good timing...but they sent me the loveliest flowers in lieu of their presence.

3. Two great friends locally turned out to celebrate with me.

4. We drank and ate traditional British food (meat pies, toad in the hole, lamb, warm puddings) at an old Victorian pub in Leeds.

congratulations, carolyn!

1. My wedding dress was delivered safe and sound today at my parents' home- hopefully it fits when I get down there to try it on next week!

2. Had a lovely dinner and lots of cuddles tonight, both courtesy of my lovely fiance. :)

PS, I Love You.  I read the book recently.  I need something romcomish, plus there are cute boys in it :P  (I heard it was not that great, but I'm willing to risk it anyway)

I want to see that too, it looks like a cute movie!

Congratulations!

1. I got part of my report cards finished.
2. I prepped the mac and cheese yesterday so all I have to do is put on the breadcrumbs and lop it in the oven. I'm absolutely shattered today so I'm psyched about that!

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon
