Our 1 YEAR wedding anniversary!!

What a romantic and beautiful evening!! Yesterday, Monday 17th november 08 Jeremy and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary! To be completely honest I hadn't really thought much about it as leading up to it we were quite involved with our friend's wedding, work was mental and well... you know how it goes! So Jeremy and I decided that we would just go out to a nice restaurant for dinner and would go stay at a hotel this coming weekend... but no! Jeremy thought he would be super romantic and do this....

I got home from work ready to jump in the shower then head off to dinner, instead Jeremy raced to the door, blindfoled me and walked me to our bedroom door, I could hear our wedding song being played... he opened the door and asked me take the blindfold off... and this is what I saw....

Our bedrom had been completely transformed! It was absolutely beautiful and soo romantic! He told me that he knew I wanted to stay in a hotel the actual weekend of our anniversary but didn't because of the wedding being on that same weekend, so he brought the hotel to me! The room had roses, chocolates, candles, fairy lights, more roses, a tv (ready for a movie), towels, bubbly - everything we needed :)

We then left to go to a lovely indian restaraunt by the beach which was divine and made our way home to enjoy our bubbly and company!

It was a perfect anniversary! Perfect... just like our wedding day! Love you jeremy xoxo

Wedding Bells!!

Well, the day had finally come! Jessie Babe's Wedding Day! She looked absolutely stunning! The day was gorgeous and she was happy! A beauitful couple!!

Running Time!

Here you have it people! My first run in the morning for the year... or it could be my first run for the year... ha ha.

Last night we had dinner with the family and I anncounced that Jeremy and I are going to go for a run in the morning, there was silence while they all looked at each other and burst out laughing (as this wasn't the first time I have said that and not followed through.) "Yeah right!" they all said.

But I let them know that this time I was SERIOUS and I would proove them ALLLL wrong and I did!! I got my fat butt out of bed and off we went!

I felt quite refreshed afterwards, I might do it tomorrow morning too... will see how I am feeling!

Our HOME

I thought I would put up a few photos of our house looking nice and tidy after a Saturday spring clean!

Here are some pictures of our kitchen...

This is looking out from our kitchen into our lounge

This is the Master Bedroom... The only bedroom in the house... ha ha

This is our laundry...

The bathroom...

The other side of the lounge room with the hall way and front door in view

And ME asleep on the couch after a hard mornings work cleaning!!

So there you have it, our humble 1 bedroom apartment :)

My Dental Check up!

Ok, so I went to the dentist this afternoon for my yearly check up which was a few years late! Woops! I walk into the dentist straight away and instantly smell that dentist smell (you know exactly what smell I am talking about), the receptionist with her perfect white teeth welcomes me ever so nicely because she knows what I am in for. A date with the dentist and his scary tools!

Soooo there I am, waiting waiting for the scary dentist to usher me into 'the chair' with the birght light in my mouth (I was hoping he would give me the cool sunglasses to wear but maybe he only gives them to kids... haaa!) and away he goes... chipping, cleaning, hammering away at my teeth as he told me that my teeth needed a good clean but everything else was perfect!

Going to this appointment I had been told by the receptionist (with the perfect white teeth) that it would cost me $40. But once the dentist was done with me the bill was $130!!!!!!! Ouch!!

You are probably thinking my teeth are terrible if it cost me that much! But no no no... which brings me exactly to my point... DENTISTS ARE RIP OFFS!!

Maybe Jeremy should become a dentist.... hmmm...

Like Totally!

Tickets are booked! We are off to Melbourne!

Christmas will be in Melbourne this year... I can't wait! It will probably be the last time our WHOLE family will be all together again, so I will be soaking up every minute of it! It will also be the first time Jeremy will meet all my extended family... the poor guy... I am glad we got married before he met them - otherwise he could have very easily changed his mind!

Not only am I excited to see family but

HELLO SHOPPING!!

Man! December seems like forever away!

Great way to start the week...

Monday, 21st July 2008


Well, I got home from work, plopped my bag on the table, kissed the husband and went straight to the kitchen to cook some food for dinner..

After Jeremy & I had eaten dinner (we had burritos - so yum!) I went to the bedroom to get into some comfy clothes when I noticed a subtle, 'Drip, drip, drip....' I didnt think much of it as it was wet outside and thought it was just coming off the window... I then turned on the bedroom light and there was a nice puddle of water in our bed!! Our bedroom ceiling was leaking!!







Thank goodness we didnt make our bed that day, only our pillows and mattress got wet, so we we were glad we still had a dry blanket.


The plumber then came over and started to cut through all the gib... the roof was quite saggy! Full of water! Which I thought was quite exciting!! Exciting enough that i asked if he wouldnt mind if i took photos! ha ha ha.

So, seeing as it didnt look like the room would be fixed before bed time... Jeremy started blowing up our air bed.... which he was really happy about... haha.

Nah, He didn't mind tooooooo much :) I just felt like a little girl all night... I thought it was all so much fun (probably coz the landlords pay for the bill) and we got to camp out in our lounge!!

What a day!

For those of you who don't know, my Dad and I work together along with another lady in the office... He is currently and Niue inspecting one of the projects we are building and things have been absolute flat chat in the office since he has left...

Late in the afternoon today I got this photo updating me on how Dad is actually doing....



This here is a picture of what happens when you fall off a ladder on a construction site... a fractured elbow and fractured wrist on each arm... poor Dad :(

Carnival Day

Wooohoooo! The day for the Carnival had arrived and I was looking forward to getting there... Candy floss, hot dogs, pop corn, jumping castles, toffee apples, face painting, arm wrestles... you name it and it was there! I think I was getting more into the Carnival than the kids!

There was however one ride that was my favorite, which may I add, I won a prize for being the BEST at! I dont know what it was called - but I am going to call it...

THE BUNGY RUNNING THINGY!

Yes, thats right people... I won the prize for being the best at THe Bungy Running Thingy! I have even got it on video to proove just how good I was.... My friend Candice however, she had issuses with me beating her... I do have it on video but for some reason it wont let me upload the proof! So here are some pictures instead...

(If you look closely... I am aiming for the hand, Candice just made it to the end...then she bales... ha haha)

In the end she ended up winning "Guess how many lollies are in the jar" I wont tell you how... (fluke!!) but she did.... So we were all happy :)

Nachooooooooo

So, its is a little late... but better late than never eh!

Aaron had his 18th Birthday Party with the theme being ' Nacho Libre' ... Jeremy and I organised an AMAZING Nacho Libre Race for the night... every one invited had to dress up and be ready for a night of fun!

I think they all enjoyed themselves...

Above: Matt & Aaron - the brothers

The Nacho Libre Gang

The effects of the Amazing Race... sweaty arm pits... ha ha ha

Aaron the 17yr old and Me the 20 yr old...

This photo is of my younger brother Aaron and I. This was the last photo of Aaron as a 17 year old (as his birthday is today!) and a photo of me on my first day as a 20yr old! ha ha.

My 20th Birthday

The big day had finally arrived! I woke up at 3am from a txt going off on my phone from my darling friend (who will remain anonymous) wishing me a Happy Birthday! I didn't find myself very Happy after reading it... but it is the thought that counts right? ;)

So on the eve of my birthday (day # 2 of birthday week) I was in bed at about 10pm and Jeremy came in acting like a waiter (ha ha!) and started to welcome me to "Hotel Jeremy" he then presented me with a menu and on the other side of the menu there was a poem about me (the picture below) and told me to tick what i wanted for breakfast the next morning... so i did!

I woke up the next morning to more txts on my phone (at a reasonable hour!) wishing me a Happy Birthday and a beautifully presented breakfast by Jeremy!

Once we had enjoyed a bacon and egg breakfast, Jeremy then presented me with a lunch menu, with a poem about me on it to, in which I had 3 options to choose from...

1. Chinese
2. Burger Fuel
3. Lunch cooked by Jeremy at home with a massage


I picked option # 1 - Chinese!!! It was sooo yumm0!! We ate it at the beach and went for a little walkies... it was so perfect!

You probably already guessed it.... once we were done with lunch he presented me with a Evening Choice Menu with a poem about me on it also....

Due to the weather, we were unable to do any of the options (Haha) but will DEFINITELY take a rein check! So instead, I decided I wanted to go out to dessert with the family, so what better place than Denny's!! ha ha.

Then after I got a fat bum from eating an Oreo Sunday... Jeremy and I watched 'Enchanted' in bed... I am totally in love with that movie!! It makes me laugh so much! All in all, it was an awesome birthday! And behind it was the husband, Jeremiah! Who was, very exhausted after putting on a great day! (He even cleaned the house - spotless!) I felt like a princess and that was the main thing!

Soo... a big thank you to Jeremy for making my day perfect!
