wow, well..
i guess i'll put on my christmas update..
things here have been good..
held up quite well emotionally - last year was a bit more of a struggle..
had christmas with all of matt's family at one of the sister's houses.. and boxing day (sunday) at matthew's mother's house.. by the end of the second day i got a bit exhausted with all the christmas stuff..
but today, i've been instructed to go out to the sales, ahem.
i've gotten in total £40 worth of gift certificates for this one clothing store (i think its the same as Express in america).. and today is THE big sale.. so i've been told i simply HAVE to get down there today.
yeah so i had a really good christmas..
christmas eve i was ill.. but it was pretty gone by christmas day.
got lots of fun gifts from my darling - perfume and muppets monopoly.. etc.
mmm..and as soon as the office opens for the immigration advisory service in london, i'll be making an appointment to go see them for some, ah, advice.
there's not alot i can do on the whole appeal front till then.
its tricky, cause i've got to fill this form out within 10 days of having received it, but because of the holidays.. its hard to know which days count and which ones don't.
i want to get it out as soon as possible, of course, but i think it will really be worthwhile to go see these advice people.
i know it would be nice to live closer to you all (ie america) but i just really feel this is the place for me - obviously i feel its home because of matthew, but even besides that.. i really feel like this is where i want to be. i can't wait to get a house someday.. you can get houses hundreds and hundreds of years old.. and in villages so small and hidden.. i am just infinitely amused and content thinking this is where my life can be.
anyway.. just so you all know, i would love to have this and be close to you all as well.. as my financial situation improves.. i'll be making more regular trips back home.. we're planning the next one for this summer.
anyway.. enough about that.
i wish it would snow!
there's frost everywhere, but no snow.
i hope you are all cozy and happy having nice christmases..
love,
sarah
