Let's charge our glasses!

Let's charge our glasses to bridal showers that have a theme, to friends that educate me about marriage, to free movie vouchers, to outlet stores that sell everything a little cheaper than normal, to hours spent at ikea, to friendly barristers that make great chai lattes, to a fiancé that makes me smile when I'm down, to soda streams that make water more exciting, to exfoliating scrub to make you feel as soft as a duckling, to the postman who delivers me letters and parcels, to ticks on my checklist, for a mum who gives me ice-cream for dinner, for a dad that is handy in the house and outside and for God who provides us with all we need.

Cheers!
Happy Monday Everyone!

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!

Feeling magic

Tuesday I began my Christmas shopping and gift wrapping. Presents under the Christmas tree makes everything feel a little bit more magic. 27 days to go. 

Wednesday night finished with Mr J and I travelling to the other side of town for a delicious home cooked meal made by our friends Alex and Alex. It was a wonderful change of scenery for great conversation and company. Feeling extremely blessed. 

The Move In

Mr J and I own a mortgage!! Probably the only time in our life that the word 'mortgage' is exciting. We feel so blessed to have bought our own home. It's a new journey, starting now!  Friday night I waved goodbye to mum and dad with a car packed full {mainly of clothes!}.

My weekend consisted of finding space in a lack-of-storage home, buying kitchen appliances and using my brand new washing machine.

 I watched a few episodes of this fantastic show to wind down at night.

 One of my biggest challenges was marathon-ing around the supermarket for one ingredient to add to my trolley load,

I now have a semi-full pantry and fridge and our house feels semi-organised. This is a bit exciting!
