I'm dreaming of a White Chris...... Birthday!

I'm currently writing this from the comfort of my sofa waiting whilst Naomi makes me some lovely steak and chips for my birthday meal.... today being my birthday by the way! Well I shall start by saying what us Devonshire Hodges have been up to this week!

Sunday was Mutley Baptists Chris-tingle service the Chris-tingle being a symbolic object used to show advent. Well basically the end product is a Orange, wrapped in a ribbon, with a candle on it and some sweeties attached... well from the following two Christ-tingles belonging to me and Naomi... which do you think belongs to who?


(note one with sweets and one without!)


The next major event of the week (yes we lead very exciting lives) which occurred the very same evening... me and Naomi made our first roast as a married couple! I know shock horror its actually taken us over 4 months to get around to making our first roast! Well the roast was really a slap up meal consisting of the same ingredients that a roast is made out of (chicken, potatoes, carrots etc). The end product was tasty tasty tasty so that's all that mattered!



Well the rest of the week consisted of me having work Christmas doo's! Ooooh and Naomi got offered a job! Which was nice!

This leading nicely up to the second most important birthday in December... MY BIRTHDAY! Today it decided to snow, which was nice so we were obviously forced into going for a walk on Dartmoor:



The rest of today is going to consist of me and Naomi getting fat and full on some tasty food and watching ELF to get us all Christmassy! Fun times!

Wedding booked!!!

We've booked Mutley Baptist for the 1st of August. We chose Mutley rather than either of our home churches since its the only one we both feal home at... however I think Exmouth Chapel would have been the obvious choice if we both still lived in Exmouth...



Naomi's already sorted her dress out however I can't view this or post it on-line since that would spoil one of the main surprises of the big day!

Next biggy is to book the reception of which we're most likely to book the Copthorne hotel in Plymouth (the hotel next to the Sainsburys in town).

Well that's all for now. Shall update once the reception is booked and any further things sorted.
