I read someplace that 80-90% of things that we worry about never happen, so I can totally handle dealing with the 20-10% that MIGHT actually go wrong rather than letting such a tiny percentage stop me. Excellent idea with the resolutions, I might pinch that idea! Seriously, if I can do it, you can do it :)

I can see you big and beautiful smile as I was reading that. Doing what you love doesn't have to be any one particular thing, it is doing everything WITH love that counts! Big love to you! d xx Thank you gorgeous!

You might already have enough leads for celebrants, but fwiw, we used a female celebrant from Ormiston for our wedding (in Manly). We had several Japanese elements included, and some of the ceremony translated etc, and she was very flexible with things in that sense. If you are interested, I can pass on her details. From what I remember, her price was also quite reasonable. Good on Shumpei for trying with English - it is good when you can see someone close trying hard as it spurs you on more, I think.

She always has such fun links. Those are great resolutions. I know what you mean about feeling like you're not making any progress, but try not to forget about the part of the "to-do" list that you HAVE done. I think it's great that you've moved countries, started working, joined WW, kept up the blog, been hooping and walking, and organised half your wedding! So don't forget that you have acheived a lot this year, even if there is still stuff you want/need to do. PS - I meant to comment on your last post - your engagement ring is beautiful.
