*jab/poke*

Xavier had his vaccinations today and is too whingey, erm, weak to post to the blog. He had Measles/Mumps/Rubella and Tetanus/Diptheria today (2 shots total). This is apparently all he needs, though I was under the impression he would have to have about 10 shots! I am actually really confused about all that and just hope it works out, heh.

Meanwhile, I finally called the courthouse to see if they will give me a letter to the effect of: "Hear ye, London Embassy: Hoopla and Xavier have booked a wedding with us on SomeDate" but all I could get was voice mail systems, and am waiting for a call back. We have the choice between Romantic Courtroom 1A (5pm weddings) or the Magisrates Lobby, um, of Eternal Love (noon weddings). The Magistrates Lobby is supposedly somewhat decently... attractive, and is on the second floor, so I think we're aiming for that. We don't have the money for a big, fancy wedding now, so this will have to suffice for a year or two until we can have the fancy, exciting, wedding-y wedding in England, hopefully. It'll be alright, though, as our most important people will be there with us at the courthouse, and we're all going to enjoy a fancy "reception" dinner afterward. It will be a memorable day however you look at it.

We will not have seen each other in 417 days by the time I go to England, which is phenomenal to me, but not long to go now!

The Post Which Shall Remained Un-named

Okay, nothing much is happening. The most, err, exciting thing is when I go outside on break at work, there are some stepping stones and each day I stand on the one which represents how many more days there are until I go to England. Yes, I know I have no life. Nothing is happening! There is one weekend left until my trip and we plan to use it all to make sure we have every item needed for the interview (I think we already do, but we're just double-checking). And stuff. Other than that, I have been working alot of mandatory overtime and just generally being brain dead (as evidenced by this post) *smile* I'm sure things will get more lively and exciting as the days and stepping stones wear on.

P.S. Your pregnant sister probably does not want you to make a list of Elvish names for her unborn child. Just a pointer. Take it from me. :)
