And she's back

So .. I know its been a while since I have been to this site. But I haven't forgotten about it at all. Thought I might give it a second attempt at this "blogging" thing.

The lastest updates (with some photos attached)

First and foremost, its 4.5 weeks till the wedding. 32 sleeps to be exact, not that we are counting or anything! All plans are very much under control. Just sorting out tiny details now and then all that is left to do is write a ceremony. Easy Peasy!

Rob became an Uncle on Friday 16th of February (I hope for my sake that I got that date right) You can see that he looks quite stoked about it. Thomas Callum Wilson was 18 hours old when this photo was taken



Had a month in NZ at Christmas time, my goodness it was hard to get back on the airplane to leave. Caught up with heaps of friends and family, had an engagement breakfast and even scored a really cheap helicopter ride up Frans Josef Glacier. Drove about 2000 km in 4 days around the lower half of the South Island and fell in love with the Crown Range. Also had a near miss with a head on collision on the Arthurs Pass which shook me for a while, but we arrived in ChCh safe and sound which was good!

And finally we went to visit Robs' Aunty and Uncle who live 5 hours directly west of Brisbane on 7000 acres. Highlights were definately shooting my first kangaroo, night hunting in shorts and t-shirt (very different to the minimum 4 layers of clothing needed in NZ) and getting a flat tyre in the 'middle of nowhere' where the first car drove past just as we were getting back in the car. I found great pleasure in eating my second fly, not by choice, and swatting the other flies off my face whilst standing in the middle of the road watching Rob change the tyre for us . . . what a Man!

I hope that gives you a bit of a run down on the latest happenings. Hopefully it wont be long till the next update (and if it is you can hound me till you get it!!)
