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!

KCO 2013

What a wonderful weekend! Mr J and I joined a team of many lovely people, hundreds of children, church leaders, entertainers, caterers and a very enthusiastic, positive vibe as we attended KCO 2013.

KCO is a camp for children between 7 and 12 years of age. It is run by the Uniting Church of South Australia to encourage and assist kids to explore their faith through relationships with others, performances, activities, games and worship. God is great!

Mr J did what he knows best, shared his humour and energy as MC... and was wonderful! I co-ordinatored the merchandise stall to allow children to take home something physical to share with their families.


12 months until the next KCO.. already excited!
By then, Mr J and I will be married too!
Wow.
