Merry Christmas

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.

I am having a lovely time at home with the parentals. Been a lot of wedding, some work, with smatterings of fun and family time.

Go go go go go go

Today I have been on the go all day. I have really achieved a lot, and it feels great. I got up early despite my late night last night and am now about to crash.

Sleep....

Tomorrow will be much like today, only with tighter deadlines since I leave for the UK tomorrow. I have to pack and the amount of stuff accumulating seems rather large for the case.

:(

John went back to DC today - I am not so fond of those airport trips. I actually leave for the UK on Monday. I am highly strung as there is so much to do before then. So much. Did I mention I had a lot to do? GAH. Been busy since I came back from the airport and midnight rolled around without me knowing about it. I am now blogging just to calm myself down to sleep. Deep breaths. DEEP. DEEP. In.....out.....in......out.

On the plus side I have completed all the bouquets for me and my bridesmaids. Hurrah. They will be travelling with me to England. I have packaged them up in a way that I hope protects them from the airline.

Right I am off to breath some more.

Cake

So I am the cook in the family... well in the couple. John can cook but doesn't most of the time, and I don't mind because I quite like to cook really - just a matter of having the time and being organized. However, last night I got home to find John had baked for the first time EVER since we have been together. What is even better is that he had baked a gluten free chocolate cake with allergy-free dark chocolate icing. Oh my goodness it was delicious and so very thoughtful.

Did I mention I ate far too much cake? No? Well I did... FAR too much.

did I mention

THAT I LOVE JOHN????!!!

He went and bought groceries for me and came back with bags of gluten free stuff. BAGS!!! He saw it on sale at a local store and seriously the amount he brought home is more than a usual store stocks in gluten free goodies. This is stuff I usually want to buy but I balk at as it is very expensive. Wow. I am such a happy girly and I am so impressed he saw this in the store and then bought it all.

He's a keeper.

Moved

Urgh moving was stressful - thanks to the power company not providing us with electricity when they said they would. However, I do not want to dwell on that as we are now in the house and it is fantastic. John worked hard the day of the move and, while the house may be chaos, he made the living room a serene, organised, and cozy place. I love this house.

Amusingly John seems most happy with our new refrigerator. I keep catching him in the kitchen admiring it. He is particularly enamoured with the deli drawer (it pulls out and the cover flips up) and the beverage chiller (which has a separate temperature cooler to get his beer cold quickly and keep it there). Earlier I heard him talking about it and he was alone in the kitchen... he was making a video to send to someone... ON OUR FRIDGE!!! I love him.
