It is 2 weeks and 6 days till wedding time. It is 7 days till 8 of my family members come over from england. I am so excited right now, everything seems to be going really well, if everything goes this well on the wedding day then it is going to be a really special day not that it wouldnt be other wise but it will make it a lot easier.

Today i went and saw the movie Alice in wonderland and after that went to the shops with mum just to have a quick look then came out buying 6 pairs of shoes for $120, 4 pairs of shoes for my bridesmaids 1 for myself and 1 for mum i think i scored just a little bit.

My family arrives on the 22nd of march and mum and i are going to pick some of them up from the airport i just wish this week would hurry up, I dont think that i have ever wanted a weekend to go faster than this one just so that the 22nd would hurry up, i know by the time it comes around it will be so quick but it feels like it is going forever.

Next saturday is the last time i try my dress on before the wedding and i have had all the fittings done lets just see how good they did to make it fit absolutley perfectly, my mum also bought a dress from the same place an she is also having her dress fitted as she is very excited as i am i dont think that i have seen my mum in a dress for a very long time.

anyway better get back to wedding planning, talk to you soon.

At the moment i am trying to get a hold of all the people who i apart of my preparations for the wedding and some people obviously do not want to get paid. Every time i try and call someone to get my final bill noone picks up or they dont get back to my messages that i leave on there phone or they do not reply to my emails for like a week or two.

oh well to bad for them i just hope they still turn up on my wedding day and everything goes to plan, and before any of you brides come back to me say nothing ever goes to plan i already know that hahah i have already had my fair share of things not going my way.

talk to you soon. sally

Well i think my idea to rin the two major comps of the australian season was a very good idea.

the results that i got from these two meets would never have been predicted about a month ago. In Sydney i contested the 100m and the 200m i won both of them and ran B Qualifyers for both of them in times of 11.39 and 23.19. In melbourne i decided to only concentrate on the 200m to see if i could achieve an A qualifyer unfortunatley that did not happen but i did win the event.

to have had about 3 weeks of preparation for these two competitions i think that i did very well and as i said before you would never have been able to predict this a month ago with how my injury was going..
i decided to run the comps because i had not had pain for a little while and i was training really well and i also could not stand seeing all the girls lining up competing and my name was there on the start list, so i decided that i have to be out there competing in an environment that i call normal and see what i could produce with everone else being in “great” shape, the reason i say it like that is becasue technically i should not have won those comps simply becasue the other girls have had far more preparation than i have and have had more race practice than i have, lets just say i put it down to my determination and mental strength and also the will to win when i am competing.

now that i have finished for the season i am going straight back into another preparation and that is getting ready fofr my wedding which is on the 3rd of april.

talk to you soon, sal
