love(ly) to be back

It has certainly been a while between posts. Let me explain.

This happened...

Soon after my last post (May 2012!), we found out that our wedding venue had gone into liquidation. WTF! A mad scramble followed. I contacted almost every wedding venue I had ever considered to see if they had availability. No luck. I was starting to worry (understatement).  

While I was away for work one day, my Husband took it upon himself to check out a potential option he had discovered. He loved it. It was perfect, he said.
So I went to check this place out for myself. He was right. It was perfect.
Call me crazy, but I enjoyed the opportunity to plan 'another wedding'.

It was without a doubt, the best day of our lives.

So, as per the title of my post - it is lovely to be back.

I've been filing away lots of ideas and I am excited about getting stuck into this little blog of mine. Again.

love a list

via real simple

I am a list maker. It helps clear my brain. Puts all those thoughts on paper to make room for other activity.

I write work lists, trying to prioritise. I write shopping lists, to make a nice dinner. I write clothes wish lists, in an attempt to fill my wardrobe with the classic and most versatile items that will mix and match with everything I already own. I have a home list, of things that need attention and things that we need to fix. Restaurants to try, makeup to buy, places to visit, people to call, appointments to make, the lists go on and on.

I know there are people that write lists just to cross things out. I might be one of those people!? Hmmm no, I really think I need them to clear my thoughts, otherwise I forget!!
