So I suppose it's a good time to update the "goings on" in my life now that I have a few things to chat about! :D
Monday I went and did my biometrics which was just finger printing (in this day and age though it's all through a computer!) Then they took a picture of me and stamped my documents and I was sent on my merry way! (Funny enough, it was a 30 minute drive for a 10 minute appointment, but I'm not complaining! I didn't have to sit in a lobby and wait an hour, I was just able to walk in, do the do and leave!) after my biometrics appointment though I was able to send off the additional paperwork on my side to the British Embassy in L.A. (funny enough!) I expect the paperwork to arrive to them tomorrow sometime. So at this point, we play the wait game with them till they decide whether or not to give the go ahead! I'm told they work pretty quick, so I'm hoping to hear anything in the next 2 weeks! At this point, my travel plans are set for the 27th of November, but nothing permanently booked as you just never know!
Today I had 3 appointments with 3 different moving companies to get an estimate on cost for moving my stuff (or at least what was left!) Something that shocked me was how many companies work on a certain weight minimum (1,000 lbs!) and even if your sitting at ohh...let's say 500lbs, they will STILL charge you for the 1,000 because that's the weight limit! (So basically I'm paying them MORE than what they are doing...who doesn't like free money eh!?) Only 1 out of the 3 movers actually stated that they would try to find something that would drop their weight limit to around 500lbs. It also sounds like the ball park cost area is going to be anywhere between $1,800-$3,000 but no direct quotes as of yet! So, hopefully the numbers will drop substantially! :s
On to more exciting news, I bought my wedding dress today!! I'm soo excited! I think it will be at David's place in England somewhere around Christmas time! (What a good present to myself yes?) I will have to remind the man that he can't see me in it though (as I know he will ask!), you know...bad luck and all that...;) I'm VERY excited about that! Good motivation to get in better shape too! (I'm working on that was well!)
Other than the above I'm looking at spending another 11 days or so here in Washington and will probably spend the last of my week in Denver visiting my mom's side of the family till I move to England! I'm VERY excited! I love my family dearly, but I'm so anxious to start the next chapter of my life! Perhaps it will also entail some more interesting blogs as well? Pictures to boot? :D
As always, I'll keep you updated on my adventures as the more interesting portions come up! Stay tuned!
Live, Laugh, Love.
