We are off to Paris this weekend! I don't want to even bother getting into the messy details of our trip and how we were FINALLY able to book our tickets but just know this.....I got my passport today (minus the stamp I need) but didn't receive my marriage certificate. They sent along a nice letter telling me to apply at the British Embassy in Paris for a family permit to re-enter into the UK but the idiots forgot to send my marriage certificate. So for the 100th time I had to call them today all frantic to get that sorted. Supposedly arriving tomorrow morning. I have heard that one before. Also, when I tried to book our trip with Travelocity, they took my money but didn't give me my tickets. It took me a week and about 6 phone calls and a near nervous breakdown before they refunded it. It cost us 200 pounds extra. It was a MASSIVE mess. This country sucks SOOOO bad. The customer service here is absolutely disgusting. UGH! Dont really want to get into it. But after all that mess we are finally going and I cant wait. Not only did we decide to go for four days (Sat-Tues) but we decided to splurge a bit after the hassle and get a hotel right near the Eiffel Tower!!! SOOOO excited about that. It will be lovely to walk by the Rue Seine and the Tower and back to our hotel. So romantic. So that is the really great news.

Today was so rough for me. Again with the passport crap and I just really really felt like I couldnt take anymore. But being the wonderful husband he is, Ronny surprised me at work. I got a call from reception and she said there were flowers downstairs for me and said there was a note that said "An apology for our utter incompetence. HSBC, Travelocity and Home Office" so I was like "What?" and went downstairs to find my lovely husband with a HUGE bouquet of flowers. I took a picture with my phone so will try and upload it at some point. But it was the sweetest thing and exactly what I needed. It made a huge difference in my mood.

Anyways, I am exhausted. Been working overtime all week besides the meetings and my weight loss meeting. I am now down a total of 42lbs. Just thought I would let you know. Will post again before we leave for Paris. Love you all!
