There goes January...

Me again,

What a fun filled hectic and exciting month it has been. The school holidays were fantastic and a part of me really misses having all the kids around. We got out and did so many things but at the same time managed to have some great down time just kicking back and doing plenty of swimming.
January saw the start of the track building for Tuff Truck where I had a fantastic time learning to drive a excavator. I got to dig holes and lift and move rocks all in the name of fun and making tracks harder.

James and I have been in the process of Unit hunting, yes we are on the move AGAIN. The whole house sitting thing didnt work out for the guys who own it so hopefully before March we will be settled into our new place. We are looking for something small and convienent to both our works so time will tell as to what we get.

James is the proud owner of a 1988 wide track long wheel base stock standard suzuki. We have to thanks Tuff Truck for purchasing it for us and a HUGE thanks to Chris and Tanya for storing it for us for a while. We promise guys it wont be there when Zane learns to drive.

Sad news for us is that we sold our beloved Suzi-Q this month also. Thankfully it has gone to a member of our club who purchased it for his son as his first car. We were out today dropping off the final things and boy it was very sad to say goodbye for the last time. At least today I managed not to cry unlike when I had to drive to drop it off many tears were shed that day. We know she is going to get the best of care and love which makes us feel easier about it.

With a little over a month till The Great Shave I am feeling ever more nervous but also looking forward to feeling a whole lot lighter.

See you all at the end of Feb.

Its been a HUGE year...

Wow so that was 2007. The first half of the year went without any notice but the last half seemed to take forever for a very nice change. So where were we and what did we do in 2007. We moved and then moved again which now sees us back living in the City with Cameron and Paul house sitting. It has its HUGE benefits and some down sides but the upside out weighs it all.

We both are still working the same jobs and loving them. I had a new addition to my babies which welcomed baby Edward, also known as eddie or bear, to the clan. He is not so much of a baby now and just keeps growing every day. I find it just amazing being so close and part of a family to be able to give and receieve so much love is far beyond what I could have ever imagined in a job, at times I have to pinch myself to believe how lucky I am working with such lovely people.

The biggest part of 2007 has to be our wedding of course. It went off so smoothly thanks to my Mum mostly and with a massive amount of support and understanding from my Dad for all involved. Without my beautiful parents we would never have had such a wonderful day. It was a day that will always be remebered and cherished forever.

My beautiful sister in law Tanya and brother chris have just announced they will be having their second child in early August 2008 we are just so excited for them. Maggie, Emma, Zane and Lachlann are just all growing so fast it is hard to keep track of all of them. We were so lucky this year to spend time over christmas with all of them and just enjoy their company and see how much they have all grown up.

Another Tuff Truck was run and won, Easter passed in a flash as did all the other long weekends. This year for the fist time I competed in the Willowglen Challenge in our Sierra. Not to blow my own horn but on the second day of competition I kicked butt and boy did I enjoy it. It was wonderful to have Tascha join us on the long weekend and from that a fantastic relationship was developed with our mate Peter whom james navi's for in competition. We wish Tasch and Pete the happiest times together.

So here closes 2007 and I know I said it in another blog before but I am going to keep this going this year and keep closer contact via this so everyone can keep up and we can keep communicating.

Bring on 2008 I cant wait to see what it has in stall for us........Love Ya all......Us.
