Well, it was a wonderful morning of people coming together for love and celebration of love, which is always a wonderful thing! I watched my first Royal Wedding this morning with Will and Kate and was amazed by the dress, the glorious appearance of the Abbey, the choir, etc. Everything is just as you would have though it to be: Regal and majestic. That being said, I wished I would have seen a little more passion between Will and Kate. When they approached the balcony to make their first appearance as husband and wife and have their first kiss as husband and wife, I felt like it was a quick embarrassed peck vs. a couple excited to kiss as husband and wife for their first time. But I suppose I can't talk as I don't know how it would feel to share a kiss in front of millions of people...But it would have been fun! :) I really enjoyed it all though! It was nice to see those childhood princess dreams actualized you know? It was sweet. My royal pain? Having the start date for wor...

Very exciting times! I GOT THE JOB and couldn't be more excited to get started!!(Is it sick and wrong to say that about work!?) I had manage to get through all my interviews with the company and apparently I made enough of an impression to be offered the job last Thursday! Whoo hoo!! I am a mixture of excited, anxious, nervous, scared, ready, hopeful...The list truly does go on depending on the day! But I think this is a good step to making my daily life something closer to a "norm". Perhaps a challenge and a nice set routine giving me some purpose is just what I need! Life will definitely be much easier with the additional income to work with. This weekend was also my first weekend with the step-daughters and I think it went well! I enjoyed having them and I think they had fun hanging out with me. It was a really important step to building our relationship. We played games, went shopping, watched movies, did some more shopping (I put these girls up with the best of sho...

Boy has this week been a fantastic week! Let's start with the visa process! So, because I'm completely anal retentive with being over prepared when it comes to what I consider important things, I had put together this pristine package of paperwork covering the span of anything they could be asking for from tax forms, to random letters showing my name on it, to pictures and proof of our relationship since November 2009 and of course the application they require as well as passports, birth certificates, bank statements and pay slips, etc. But to show just how anally organized I am I made a COVER PAGE that listed out the paperwork in the order it was stacked in! LOL! What was funny about it is that she didn't even look at 75% of what I packed! So here is how our day went: We got up at 6:30 a.m. to get make coffee, get ready etc. so that we could be out the door by 8:30 am (our appointment was scheduled for 11:00 with a request that we be there by 10:30) we head on our way t...

I FINALLY received my passport back! (Yay!) It came via a jolting knock to my front door at 8a.m. (and scared the crap out of me frankly! LOL!) So, looking like hell, I drag myself out of bed and answer the door to a mail man that startled and kind of chuckled at me and had me sign for the package! LOL! I felt bad for him, no one should have seen me this morning at 8! (I think all the stressing out is taking it's toll on my physical appearance! Dark circles around the eyes, broken out skin, etc.) BUT at least I got my passport! (Whoot whoot!) I can now go to my marriage visa appointment on Monday! (Keep your fingers crossed for me because I will then be able to start job hunting...which brings me to my next topic....) I haven't heard from the company I have been conversing with for the last 8 months. I'm starting to think I've lost that job opportunity which I'm feeling indifferent about at this time. I don't blame them for moving forward as it's not perso...
