Our New House

Its now been 6 weeks since we moved to our New House, yes we are still renting, but have moved a little further out of town and down the Lake a bit, but we love it, its a really nice quiet neighbourhood.

Yes we are in a two storey house, 3 bedrooms, bathroom with toilet, lounge and dining room combined and kitchen this is all upstairs, downstairs is the laundry, rumpus room and double garage. There is no internal access to the upstairs part except we have to walk up 16 stairs to get to our front door.

The yard is just right for the dogs, and they love it as well, the front yard is humungus, luckily we have a ride-on mower to mow it...

A Little Gift from Jodi

About 2 weeks before we moved to our new house, we had some visitors come visit us for one night, Jodi and her daughter Emelia had to come to Newcastle to do some stuff and see her brother Matt who was at JHH at the time, so we invited them to stay the night instead of driving here and back to Gunnedah in one day.

It was great to have them stay with us, Jodi made me a little Thank You gift for having them for the night... It was a lovely handmade card as well as a little canvas on a easel (see pic above).

A big THANK YOU to Jodi for making me this lovely handmade gift, I really appreciate it, and JODI you didnt have to. I hope that you both enjoyed my cooking of the meal.. Sorry I had to leave so early the next morning to get to work.

We all hope to see you soon..

Scrapbooking 2011 -- Latest Layouts

These are my latest layouts I have completed..Need to find some time to do some more, I guess that time will come soon....

My Mummy

This is part of the reason for me not blogging as much as I would like over the last couple of months.

These pics are not good quality but I still wanted to share them with you.

My Mum became very sick on 11th February, and has been in hospital ever since, she is currently at the rehabilitation place, and is doing well, but still has a long way to go.

Mum, I love you more and more everyday, I can't wait for the day you are able to come home and we can go on our regular shopping trips and also our trips to the hairdressers.

Love You.xoxoxoxoxo

Look at my Boys

These are probably the only photos I have ever gotten of the boys when they are both looking at the camera....Yes it would have to be a first....and will always be a first...

Flowers -- A gift from a friend

I want to say a big thank you to June Burrows and Karen Grew whom I work closely with everyday, you have been there for me while mum has been sick and other things that have been happening, thanks so much for the lovely flowers you both have brought me, it means a lot to me.

A Little Getaway --- "Manning Point"

On the weekend of the 18th of March, here in Newcastle was a Public Holiday on the Friday, and with everything that has been going on in our lives this last couple of months, Brett and I decided to go away for one day and night.

It was great, we went to Manning Point, we stayed in a cabin in the Ocean Caravan Park, we went fishing, we went to the club for dinner, lovely food I must say, even won a raffle prize in their Friday night raffle, I even managed to talk him in to taking me to Taree to check out the local Scrapbooking Shop called "Scrap Awhile", i brought a couple of little supplies. We came home again on the Saturday morning. It was nice to get away and I think we both needed it.

Approaching Storm

The other afternoon when I was on the way home from work, we had a very unsettled storm approaching off the coast, and like the other thousand people who decided to stop and take pictures of it, I certainly did, these pics arent the best as they were taken with my mobile phone.

Book Review --- "Beyond the Wave - A Tsunami Survivor's Story" - By Trisha Broadbridge

This book I really enjoyed it has a lot of heartache, but it comes straight from the heart of the author who will be affected by this for the rest of her life.

Who could imagine a more romantic spot for a honeymoon than the stunning Thai island of Phi Phi?

When newlyweds Trisha and AFL footballer Troy Broadbridge stepped onto the beach on the morning of 26 December 2004, their world seemed perfect, MOMENTS later, they were engulfed by the deadly tsunami and Troy, along with thousands of others in the region, was swept to his death, Trisha miraculously survived.

I would recommend this book to everyone to read, Happy Reading
