Excitement!

* I apologise in advance for the overuse of the word Exciting in this post!!!!

Thus far this year has been quite exciting.  Starting with a month in Australia and my best friends Wedding, making new friends through this blogging lark, being offered paid writing work, doing my first Giveaway and my Big Hollywood interview. I've now got the chance to go along to a special bloggy meet up with Author Lisa Jewell in London to talk about her new book!  I'm sooooo excited by this that I can't even begin to tell you. Reading is one of my favourite things ever and I also happen own a couple of Lisa's books!!!  Not sure how I will contain my excitement over the next few weeks until it happens!!!!

In other very exciting news my beautiful Auntie Shel is unexpectedly expecting again!   It's been a long, hard, miserable road for them to get to this point but she is now 23 weeks gone and all is healthy so I'm allowed to tell the World and start shopping!!!  Chick and her Cousin El are both hoping for a Girl but the rest of us don't care as long as 'Bump' and Shel stay healthy until her due date in July.  Please keep everything crossed and pray for them that it will all work out ok this time! I'm not sure they can deal with any more heartache.

More exciting news.....my Mum is getting married again and we all know what this means....yep, Chick is being Bridesmaid for the Fourth time, although is a little disappointed with my Mum's choice of Wedding location.  Previous locations that she has been a Bridesmaid?  Oregon, Rye and Australia!  Not bad for a 7 year old English girl........Honestly my girl is better travelled than most people I know!!!  Anyway back to Mum....She has already chosen her dress, which is completely gorgeous and a really nice colour and she has a bag to match.  Just need to decide on shoes and hairstyles but she has plenty of time to worry about that as it isn't until September.  I just need to lose 10 stone pounds and find a nice dress...so no stress!!!

I just knew that this was going to be a good year!!  Do any of you have any great plans for this year or next?  I'd love to hear about them!!!

    Hey Emma-

    Great blog.

    I saw your comments on the Lady Bloggers site about wanting a header and button but concerned about $$$.

    The lady that did mine is so so reasonable. I paid $130 for the works.... for a header and button I bet it would be less than $40-50! Check her out! She is amazing!
