Hen's Show

I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life and being able to share my hen's show with some of them was as good as oreo icecream! Three days prior to the day, I received a text message from Lauren P saying I need an overnight bag, a nice pair of clothes and she was picking me up Saturday and dropping me home on Sunday. Excitement to the max! I love surprises.

Saturday afternoon came and our day started at Brighton beach - this was the place where I asked Lauren P to be my MOH {how romantic!}. We moved onto Marion shopping centre after a stroll along the beach and enjoyed a drink and catch up time. I was then taken into Adelaide CBD where Lauren P had booked us a hotel room! Wowzers. We relaxed, ironed, talked and got ready for a night out. Thinking that it was only going to be Lauren P and I, I was shocked to walk into the place where we were going to eat dinner and recognise six beautiful and familiar faces looking at me. My wonderful friends made the night amazing. We drank cocktails, danced, sang karaoke, ate a midnight snack at the pancake kitchen and gave our legs a workout walking around. Bliss! The complimentary breakfast was a bonus.

Thanks a heap to all who made the night what it was!

Happy Holidays

Three cheers for Mr J getting some days off of work so we could spend time here! 

As we joined Mr J's family at their annual beach holiday, we fulfilled our aim of doing close to nothing.  A holiday made for relaxing, laughs, games, family time and fresh air. The best. 

We even got a visit from the cutest puppy, named 'Oi'. 

Happy Holidays! 

A Thursday Drive

A drive that would have taken me eighty minutes five months ago, took Mr J and I one hundred minutes today. It was wonderful to drive through the hills again, see the country side and smell the fresh air. We arrived at Victor Harbour for fish & chips for lunch, accompanied by numerous seagulls and a seagull-wannabe, the magpie.

Letting out our inner-children, we challenged each other in a game of mini golf. We putted through whales, lighthouses and obstacles to finish the game in a draw. Many high-fives to Mr J's hole-in-ones! 

We finished our time near the beach, talking to Nana and Pa for a good hour or more before peeking through some display homes and travelling our long drive home. 

Thankful for a man in my life who I can call my best friend, for relatives, for Thursday's free, for petrol money, for sunny days and for God's creation. 

Happy Thursday!
