Renewing our vows.....

DH and I will have been married for 13 years in December. Given nether of us has a snowballs chance in hell of getting time off in December, we are going on a short cruise in August, and we are going to be renewing our vows on the ship!

It will just be the two of us and the open water.

I am bucking tradition, and will be wearing a gown, and I am trying to decide if I should wear my veil (from my first wedding gown, so something precious)

Here is the dress. The details at the bottom are fabric flowers, silver thread and feathers.


Do I wear the veil?? DH will be wearing a black suit, cream French cuffed shirt, and a purple tie (my shoes are purple)

At this stage I am thinking of doing artificial calla lilies for my flowers (I don't know what sort of flowers I can get on the ship, and I think it would be far more cost effective too, PLUS I can keep the forever)

And I have to pull it all off before August 3rd.

I do like a challenge!

Wow! It's been a while

So It was 5 years ago yesterday that I was banded. Still at the same weight give or take a few kg depending on the time of the month.

I have transferred to a bigger store, closer to home, and I hope that I will be able to get back into a good running schedule from Monday-ish. No more of this running 2 or 3 days a week crap.

So everything is still great, life has just whizzed by in the last year or so. The kid started high school this year, and I will be going back to school part time to become a qualified gemmologist. So it proves I have rocks in my head.

So a lot has changed in the last 5 years.

I will write more this weekend after I have a good think about all the little ways it has changed.
