We've now been engaged for a whole year - exciting!
I honestly cannot wait to get married. It feels more real now and things are falling into place. Everyone's getting involved in the planning and things are being booked and paid for... Eeeek!
I went to see a florist in Valdemarsvik the other day. I really like her shop and I've seen some of her work on her blog. She's going to send over some more pictures and examples. She seemed enthusiastic which is always nice. You basically want someone who's service minded and nice to be around/talk to. Honestly, sometimes I wonder why some people go into people facing professions when they clearly don't like it!?
Anyway - she clearly is in the right profession, hurrah, and so I was very happy with our first meeting.
Here's her website: http://www.frokenflora.org/
We also met our photographer, Matilda. We both really like her and absolutely love her photos! She is lovely - she's easy to be around, seems chilled yet obviously knows what she's doing and just has a very nice, warm aura if you like. Most pleased!
She's a really busy lady, and I'm really not surprised - her photos are fab! Have a look at her website - http://fotografmatilda.nu/blogg/
I've been working on my scrapbook as well. It's coming along nicely and can't wait to show my mum - she's going to love the level of organisation. I think she's a bit worried that I'm not organised enough?! Er... I run a degree programme, a business with B as well as being a mother... I think I can handle a wedding!
But I do see why people get stressed out. There is a lot of organising to do! Especially when getting married abroad for that matter and having a wedding blessing at home.
My lovely friend CPK made my day the other day. As a wedding gift she's going to sort out our wedding music... I honestly couldn't be happier!! I LOVE that I have such amazing and talanted friends! I knew there must have been a reason to why I studied Performing Arts...
We're off to Southampton this weekend to visit some friends and then it's B's birthday next week. B's actually off filming in Milan (lucky bugger!) so I'll be holding down the fort on my own.
I've got him tickets to see La Soiree for his birthday. I loved the show when I went before Christmas so I'm hoping he'll feel the same. We're going to stay over in a hotel on the Saturday night, making it even more special. Yay!
I'm feeling very positive about 2012 so far. It's going to be a great year.

Busy be me
Wowser! It's been a busy few weeks!
For my birthday my friends and I went to the All Star Lanes in Holborn which was fantastic!! I love the American fifties feel to the place and the food and drinks were great. My team won the bowling challenge which was a bonus too. I didn't manage a strike but a few spares so all good there!
(Also - as it was my birthday I got a free drink and a birthday card from All star - nice touch!)
I spent my actual birthday in a lovely Spa Hotel with B and the wee man - AMAZING!! We had room service, went swimming in teh pool and went shopping in St Albans. My boyfriend is the best!
Maria and Marlene were over from Sweden and we had a great weekened! It was so much fun - we went to Camden Town for some shopping and people watching. Always a great day out!
My newphew Alex and Josefin have been visiting too. We had a great time - they were super helpfull and very generous so we were all sad to see them too. (Especially the wee man who clearly has a soft spot for Josefin - it must be all teh hugs and cuddles she gives him!!)
It was a fun filled week and although Jackson was recovering from his op - he managed very well.
I went with them to London Bridge and teh London Dungeons. I've been many times and i still LOVE IT!
Jackson had his operation and although it was the most stressful, weirdest and emotional so far (bar giving birth!!)- it all went well. I'm so, so proud of my little boy. So brave! I'm so blessed to have him.
Back to "normal" now (whatever that may be!) and at the moment we're plugging the Summer school... Fingers super crossed!!
Also - job interview tomorrow so think happy thoughts for me!

Birthday boy
They say that If you can't win then join.
Well, I don't think that's true. That would only put you on their level, which is not acceptable. That saying is only true when you are levelled with an opponent worthy of a fight. Or to put it simply, having a fight worth fighting over. If neither applies surely you spend the rest of the days ignoring them/it?
It is B's birthday today and after staying up till the small hours last night I was completely out of it. I mean, I hardly heard the baby monitor I was that tired!
It's been so tough not having Brooks around at all in the evenings - I'm completely shattered. (He has been rehearsing and working late every evening since Saturday).
I felt bad though as he didn't get his breakfast in bed however I promised I would make it up for him this weekend.
It's also very stressful with work as we're still trying to get this drama thing off the ground. I must somehow get the parents to realise what a great school we are... I'm running out of options!
We're hopefully going out tonight as his mum and stepdad are coming around to baby sit and this Saturday Jackson's godparents are babysitting. (although at this rate we may just go to bed at eight!)
Anyway, Saturday I have booked a table at the Clarendon! Yeay! We have been wanting to go for ages so I'm really looking forward to it.
Hubby seemed happy about his presents too - he got some Molton Brown stuff, Diesel perfume, a Gap jumper (from mum), a DVD and of course the dinner out on Saturday...
I must remember to pack the presents for niece's daughter and my sisters gang of kids. Jackson and I are back to Sweden on the 30th! I can't wait!
Bless mum - she rings everyday asking about Bubba. It's hard as she was so close to him, being the full time carer and now nothing. It's very hard for me too of course, as I miss her terribly, and I'm so glad we could have her.
We have started organising stuff for the Christening in early May.
Or, rather we have invited the Brits now! C, (aka the hairy Godmother), has been sorting stuff since September last year - bless her! She's been talking to the priest so she actually knows more than me at the moment!
Anyway, like I said we have extended the invite to our friends here in Britain.
So far quiet a few have said they are coming which is very exciting! We have a venue and now all I need to do is sort the flights/food/accommodation etc.
Most of our friends will stay with my family and friends in Sweden and the food will be supplied by my family too.
I just need to convince B that smorgas tarta is the way forward...
