Joy.

This is going to be a very quick post. I have lots to say about my weekend/week full of blessings.

Today's post is going to be some fun photos taken this morning at work. Today was my first day back after 6 wonderful days off. I usually have an attitude when I am going back to work after time off. I always pray that I will forget all the anxieties that I associate with work. I have to admit that this time I was really looking forward to seeing my colleagues. They definitely encouraged me with messages while I was away, telling me how much they missed me! I am sure that they are full of it but they definitely made this girl smile!

Anyhoooo...As you well know I was off on Friday the 29th, enjoying the beautiful Royal Wedding. I was a little (and when I say little, I really mean little) bit upset that I wasn't working because I knew that there would be a great atmosphere and that they were going to be dressed up. I cycle to work and this morning when I was setting my bike down I thought there was some creepy guy watching me. This was no creepy guy. In fact it was HRH Prince William. Yes, that's right.

Alright, so he was there with Catherine too. Oh, and they were actually cardboard. But other than that I was pretty excited that the Royals were waiting for me at work.

The Queen was there too! It was a family affair really. You might find this hard to believe, but that is in fact me behind a mask. I know, it's pretty realistic! (wink, wink!!)

Who knew that the Queen had moves like that?

She is just so proud of her grandson.

So this morning I had a really fun morning. The Lord really blessed me with friends who had no trouble putting a smile on my face. After we finished work I stayed for 2 hours chatting to the Queen, otherwise known as Abbie.

Today I am thankful for friends and all the joy that they bring!

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:4-7

Beautiful Princess.

I LOVED the Royal Wedding yesterday. I woke up at 6:30am so excited for the day ahead. Quickly got up and got ready and then watched every minute of the whole thing from 8:00am until well into the afternoon.
I love every minute of it. All the hymns, I loved. The sermon that the Bishop of London preached, I loved. He was so kind and smiled and spoke to William and Kate, I should really say the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge now! Her dress was beautiful. She looked absolutely beautiful, like a Princess really. I thought her hair was very simply and classy. I thought her sister looked lovely too. My goodness, those Princes looked very handsome in their uniforms. I decided I will either have to marry a Prince or someone in uniform. (I am totally kidding, but let a girl dream alright?)

I had so much fun watching it. Everytime I saw a Royal family member I would scream..yeah I screamed A LOT! I found the whole thing so excited and I am so happy that I took time to watch it. I don't care how sad people think I am, I will love telling this story to my kids one day!!

Just in case you have been hiding in a cave all weekend and didn't manage to see ANY footage from yesterday, I will leave you with the highlights from the day.

Hope you are all having as great a weekend as I am!

Royal Wedding.

I am SO excited for the Royal Wedding tomorrow. I have the weekend off work (don't worry, I didn't ask it off just for the wedding. It just conveniently worked out great for me!) I will be getting up at the crack of dawn to make sure I don't miss out on any of the action. And also because I am making some decorations/baking for a little birthday celebration this weekend, you will hear more about that.

Below is a little photo of a postcard (I like to call it my ivitation to the wedding!) Not the best photo, but you can still see how ridiculously good-looking these kids are. Ah. SO EXCITED!!

 

I will leave you laughing at how excited I am. I know that I am sad...I might even watch the DVD I have on ALL the previous Royal Weddings just to make sure I am excited as I can possibly be. In the UK it is going to be broadcast on TV all day, but I think you can also watch it online. I don't think it will be hard to watch it wherever you are. Soooo you better be checking in to see the Royals looking beautiful. I am pretty sure that I will be crying. I love my Royal Family.

Enjoy the WEDDING!
