Hello!!! Yep, I am Mrs Jones now and I like it lots and lots 
!
The wedding was amazing and we were soo lucky with the weather. It rained pretty much every day during the week before the wedding, and afterwards too. However, on the actual day it was lovely and sunny and didn’t rain at all! Everything went so well and to plan on the day and I enjoyed every minute of it! It was lovely to see so many of our friends and family there too, thank you to all of you who came and helped us celebrate our day!
We then went for our honeymoon which was lovely and relaxing. We went to a little farm in the middle of no-where - somewhere between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. We read lots, watched lots of films and went on lots of walks in the countryside. Continue reading ‘Mrs Jones!’
We went to Whitby today to celebrate my mum’s 50th birthday. When we set off it was all rainy and grey but by the time we got to Whitby it was reasonably sunny and bright!
While we were there we went to a really nice place to eat, a lovely place just by the harbour in Whitby. We then walked up 200 steps to the old abbey. When we were up there we got someone to take a family photo which i thought was really nice.
It is now less than a week till the wedding, and I am sooo excited!!! This week it will be fun to do all the last minute preparations. Kieran and Luke are coming up tomorrow so it will really feel that the build-up to the wedding has started when they get here! I can’t wait to see everyone at the weekend, its going to be great! In less than a week I will no longer be a Poulton, but i will be Mrs Jones (that sounds very strange!)
Today it is exactly a month until Kieran and I get married!! The last 3 and a bit months since we got engaged has gone sooo quick so i’m sure the last month will go nice and fast too! I’m getting really excited, especially as all the plans are coming together well and I’m not feeling nervous (yet!).
Last night we finished the table seating plans, after quite a few versions and ideas! Doing the table plans was harder then I thought as there were loads of little changes we had to make along the way but they are all done now!
I had an interview for supply teaching in York today so hopefully i’ll be accepted onto the team and then when school starts again I’ll get some work. It all depends on whether Kieran gets a job first and whether that will be in Lincoln or not. We still don’t know where we will end up, but it will all become clear in the end.
Right, bed time for me as tomorrow I have to finish sorting out all the camping stuff for New Wine which starts on Friday and I’m very excited about it!!! The weather has been good this week so lets hope it continues!
I went to Leeds today for a fitting of my wedding dress and it is beautiful! The only thing that really needed altering was the length as it is too long at the moment. Other than that, it is lovely and it will be just great when it is all altered! I can’t wait to wear it properly on the big day which really isn’t long away now!!!
We also went to see a balloon lady as we are going to have balloons at the reception so it will look exciting in the room!
Other things for the wedding all seem to be coming together well, I just hope all the little parts of the organisation come together well on the day. I’m sure they will really.
Its New Wine in 4 days now and I’m sooo excited! The weather has been a bit better in the last couple of days so hopefully that will continue through next week when we are actually camping.
No news on the job hunt for me at the moment, something will come up at some point, somewhere but right now I don’t know!!!
I watched the film Father of the Bride with my mum and dad tonight. Its a good weddingy film and made me even more excited as I thought about my wedding in just 37 days now!!
Mum and dad were nearly crying at the film, they said it was all sweet and emotional! I can tell they will be crying all day on 23rd August, even before anything has really happened!
We went to the hotel where the reception is going to be today and got some last things sorted which is great. So far all the separate things are coming together really well and I am confident that everything will come together ok on the big day! We have started thinking about the table plans the other day and trying to decide where to place people. Ah, decisions decisions!!
Also, my dress has been delivered to the wedding dress shop so I have a fitting on Monday, I am soo excited and I can’t wait to see it. I hope it still fits ok! Continue reading ‘Father of the Bride’
Last night I graduated for the second time! This time it was from Lincoln Cathedral which was a pretty cool place to graduate from!
I now officially have a PGCE, now all I need is a job so I can actually use the qualification. One will come along in the end i’m sure. I have an interview for supply teaching which would be better than nothing I guess. Continue reading ‘I’ve graduated again!’
I have done it, I got through my PGCE and I am now a Newly Qualified Teacher!!
I am now back home in York which is lovely and it will make sorting wedding stuff out in the next few weeks easier. It was strange to leave Lincoln yesterday. Although I have only been there a year, it was a home for a year and I will have loads of good memories from living there for the last year.
We went to church this morning, to hear our Banns of Marriage being read for the first time. Hearing them being read out in the church made the wedding seem even closer and more real!
One of the songs we sang in church today had the lyrics ‘…What a faithful God have I…’ and listening to the words made me think about how true that really is. This past year has been really mixed, some times when I have really not enjoyed the course and found it really hard and other times when it has been very fun and exciting. Through all the experiences of the past year one thing I know is that God has been faithful and things have worked out when they have needed to.
I’ll be taking the words of that song into the next days and weeks too. There is still a lot we need to get sorted - jobs, a house and various wedding stuff, but I know things will work out just as they are meant to and everything will be alright in the end!
For the next few weeks I’ll be in between here and Lincoln sorting various things out, and then it will be New Wine and I really hope it won’t rain as much as it has done this weekend!
Its only 48 days to go now till the wedding!!!! I can remember when I wrote on here that it was 100 days to go and that has gone sooo quick so i’m sure the next 6 weeks will speed by too!!
I can’t believe how fast time is going at the moment, sooo fast!!! Its already nearly July and we have had half the year!
I passed my final placement this week and have met all the standards and requirements I need to become a qualified teacher! I have 5 more days in school and one final day in college and then I will be finally done with my PGCE, yay!!! All I need now is a job as I still don’t have one but I am sure one will come up eventually somewhere.
I have really enjoyed this placement, teaching Year 6 after their SAT’s is lots of fun and most of the kids in the class are really nice and the challenging ones are good for helping me develop behaviour management strategies.
Time is also going really fast in the countdown to the wedding! I now have a special countdown on here in weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Counting down to the second seems to make time go even quicker and in no time at all it will be the 23rd August and I will be getting married, I can’t wait
So, I finish here in Lincoln in a week and then I will be moving back home for the last time for the summer. We will also be going to New WIne which I am soo looking forward to, just as long as it isn’t as wet as last year, although it did make it more memorable! After New Wine it is 3 weeks until the wedding so it will be a busy but a very enjoyable summer and I am looking forward to it!
Right, bed time for me as I have a whole day of DT to teach tomorrow which should be interesting!
Well my big news for the week is that Kieran and I purchased our 1st car yesterday. Below is a photo that Kieran has taken of it.
Its a pretty cool car which does various exciting things! It has automatic headlights and windscreen wipers and a digital dashboard. It also has a cool handbrake which turns itself off when you start moving which is useful, good for hill-starts! I have driven it a couple of times and it is great to drive. It has a funny key thing where you put a card into a slot rather than a key into the car! Another great feature about it is that it has a height adjustable seat which means both me and Kieran can get it in a comfortable position when we drive it!
So there you go, that is our car and our first step to being properly married!!

I thought I would do a quick update on everything that has been going on in the last couple of weeks, its been a busy time!!
I can’t believe I have only been engaged for just over a month but so many of the big decisions about the wedding have already been sorted and things are coming together very well!! We owe a lot of this to my mum and dad who have been having lots of ideas and being really great on organising things in York when we cannot be there. Continue reading ‘100 days to go!!!’
