I was only a baby!

I have to start this blog off by thanking my fiance'.  Once again today he surprised me by doing something that I know he isn't comfortable with doing but because he loves me - he did it anyway!  LOVE YOU BABE!

We had another meeting with the priest at my parish about our upcoming wedding.  Our appointment was at 10 a.m. and that is super early for my hunny!  Of course when we got there Father John was in a meeting w/ another couple so we had to wait.  I received several death stares during this waiting period.  LOL  At one point I had to move my head slightly because his glare was burning a hole in my head!  On top of us having to wait, we had Jim's mom and sister come to the rectory so they could sign an affidavit stating that they swear Jim was never married before.  Jim tried to coax his mom into lying but thankfully she came through for me!  LOL

One moment came today that put a little fear in me.  Father John said "I have to ask you guys some questions and I have to separate you."  -_-  You see Jim isn't what you would a religious person.  He thinks it's BS that we have to go through all of this stuff with the priest before they will marry us.  He is doing this primarily because he loves me and he knows that it is important to me.  So when Father John said he was going to separate us I started to sweat (ok look I was already sweating because it's hot out but you know what I mean).

I went to sit in the dining room for what seemed like an hour.  All of a sudden I hear Jim coming in.  I look at him and say "Did you pass?" and he laughed and said "I think so but I came so close to failing!"  "OMG what does that mean??" - Well the priest asked Jim about children and as most of my friends & family know, we are not planning on having children.  Let's face it, Jim is old and I'm getting there  LOL  we are past that stage in our life.  So Jim being honest told the priest that.  Well of course the priest wasn't happy.  "You know we like to think that children are in your future" so Jim said "Look if it happens by accident ok but we aren't shopping for one!"  LOL  (Ok he didn't say those exact words but that is what he meant and I say it funnier)

After all of our true and false questions the priest decides to let the deacon in training take over to ask us some pretty standard questions.  Leo was his name.  He went through some general "What hospital were you born at?"  "When is your birthday?" ... things like that.  He looks at me and says "Where were you baptized?" so I say "Holy Saviour" and he says "What day were you baptized?"

I looked at him and said "I don't know, I was only a baby!"  Jim thought this response was hysterical.  He laughed for about 17 minutes.  Poor Leo must have felt stupid because 1st of all, my baptismal certificate was on the desk right in front of him.  2nd of all - Jim wouldn't stop laughing  LOL  We do crack each other up sometimes!

Ok last bit of good news.  Today was my first weigh in for weight watchers and I lost 5 lbs and Jim lost 4 lbs!  9 lbs together!  So exciting!!!  I'm finally feeling really good about my weight loss.  This is the first time since my accident!  I really want to lose 30 or 40 lbs before my wedding!  I think this time is the time!!  YAY
