I Need To Blog More Often

I am missing blogging. I just rarely have the time to do it. I feel I am missing out so much I wish to record. I haven't written about our holiday, about parts of the kids lives and how they are changing and learning so much so quick. I haven't said that hubby has the job with the water company. I've even missed out on things from the wedding I wish to record.

The small things.

The personal things.

When we married we used ready prepared vows. Although some do it over here, writing your own vows remains pretty much an American thing to us Brits. However, I did want to do and say something alot more personal for hubby on our wedding day.

I find it very hard to find a card I like alot of the time. When looking for a wedding card, it was a nightmare. Cards were either far too manufactured, too soppy, too impersonal or just tacky. So I went on the search before finding the perfect wedding card

Instead of buying him one of those "To My Husband On Our Wedding Day" cards that are over priced and full of general verse that would make most men sick, I opted for a basic card with figures on it and the words "Happy, Ever, After" on the front. Inside it was blank. I wanted to write my own words and make it as personal as I could. I spent a little time on it, a couple of hours, before hand writing it inside his card. I've never really been that poetic but this is my wedding verse and vows of sorts.

I write this special verse for you, to show how much I care,

To show how much I love you, to show my heart stripped bare.

I might not always know what to say, or whats right at the right time

All I know is I how I feel that I can officially call you mine.

This is the day I've always dreamed of, this day makes me so proud,

A day of future promises and to practice those words we've vowed

I look forward to our  future and the next set of challenges it holds,

And know that together we can help one another with our goals.

I may not have all the answers to whatever life throws our way,

But I do always try my hardest to brighten the cloudiest day

I promise to be the best wife I can be - I'm not perfect, why pretend?

You are not only now my husband,  you are forever my Best Friend

Last of all I want to thank you for your love, our lives, our boys

For always being there for me, and bringing me so many joys.

Thank you for the pleasure of sharing with me your life,

                   And last but most importantly, thanks for making me your wife .

                Lots of love to my amazing husband on our wedding day.

                                                                xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

                                                                   Yours Forever,

                                                                Rebecca Tedder

 So yes, it was rather personal from me and I do have a little romantic side to me. I just like to do things more personally a lot of the time. 

Thats part of the reason I have begun my hobby of card making. I've already done 5 and I should have photographed them before sealing the envelopes but I wanted to do something creative again and have made a few birthday cards for family and my best friend as well as a personalised thank you card for my mother in law for all she did for the wedding with the dresses and so on. 

My diet appears to be going well. If my scales are right, I have already lost 3-4lbs this week. I'm hoping to loose 4lb this week so hopefully I am on target for that. I still have 2 days until weigh day, so tomorrow and Monday will be the days I am on my best behaviour. I think I am doing ok and I am loving the eat more to loose weight principle. I wasn't sure at first how on earth this could work for me after really cutting back on meals before the wedding, but it appears to be working. I am feeling rather confident but we'll see what the scales say Monday evening.
