I decorated my Christmas tree today and was struck by a couple of profound thoughts.
1. This time last year, I had no idea of what was going to happen to me. And that's fine with me. I would much rather live life as it happens rather than fret about things. Yes, I'll plan for the future to a certain extent, but I'm not going to get so embroiled in thinking what might happen tomorrow that I forget to live today.…
I'm a married woman!!
Andrew and I tied the knot on November 20 in a day full of laughter and celebration.
We didn't want anything "posh", just a happy day with our friends and families - and that's exactly what we got.

Apparently I'm trying to do way too much, putting myself under too much pressure etc. I have to start listening to my body, not my head. I have to…
I can't really describe how I'm feeling today. 2 main factors are contributing to this state of weirdness.
The wedding rings arrived this morning and they're beautiful. We've chosen Elvish Love Rings - i.e, gold bands with inscriptions in Elvish [we're both HUGE Lord of the Rings fans!]. The inscription says:
One Ring to show our love
One Ring to bind us
One Ring to seal our love
Forever to entwine us…
