Our First Weekend

We had a lovely weekend, in part thanks to the warm weather.    Yesterday, we packed TLK’s bicycle into the trunk/boot of the car and went up to the lake.    She peddled around the walking trail while we walked.    Walking is so much more relaxing and fun to do when you do it as a couple, or as a family.

At one point, TLK was cycling carefully down a steep path and Ian walked beside her, holding onto the middle of the handlebars to prevent her going too fast.    It was at that point when I thought, “We are doing little family things together and this is what it’s all about.”   You have to love it when plans come together and life morphs into a wonderful thing.

When we got home, we (and I mean “Ian”, mostly) cooked a roast dinner that was… to die for.  Honestly.    Roast pork, potatoes, honeyed parsnips, orange (flavoured) carrots and Yorkshire pudding.   Not only was it cooked, but it was also cleaned up after, which was loads of work!  I offered to help and I was shewed out of the kitchen.

I plan to do my equal share, honest.   I AM cooking this week.   I may have to hide the utensils to do it, though.  😀

All I have to say is:   Life is fab.   We’re getting married in just a few short weeks (yay!), then we’ll be working on Ian’s temporary green card.   I started working on the paperwork ages ago for a sort of “There is something I can do while we’re waiting for these other bits of the fiance visa process to finish” therapy, and it’s nearly ready to be looked over by other eyes than mine.

I just thought I’d let you know I’m still alive.   😀
