Anniversarys
Today I have been engaged for one year. This time last Christmas Eve, I was at work, waiting to finish for the day to come home and watch cheesy Christmas movies with Rick. I had no idea he had another plan in mind, and normally I’m a bit fussy about plans changing, but I was pretty happy with this one, so I let it slide.
The year has gone incredibly quickly. It feels strange knowing...

Rigby aka the Grinch
What a spoil sport. All I wanted was a cheesy Christmas photo together.

Munkee Magic
My baby niece Graduated last night, and next year she is off to High school! When Jaimi was born in 1999, I became an Aunty for the very first time. I was at the Hospital when my sister went into labor, and I was in the room with my sister and Mum when Jaimi finally arrived. I’ve called her Munkee Magic, well, since forever, and my niece and I are quite close. She’s only 12 and...

12 Dates of Christmas - Part One:
This December, Rick & I are having “12 Dates of Christmas”.
We already have date nights quite alot, and since it’s only the two of us and Rigby at home, realistically we can say every night is date night. BUT. The Festive Season is my favourite time of year, so any reason to make extra special effort here and there is right up my alley.
For our first date night, we had...
Today
…Rick and I became this little ones God Parents.
We had a ceremony and little party at my sisters house in Ellenbrook. Rick and I had to say a few things and sign a certificate, and then I spent the rest of the day taking photos of my cute family.
Elise is probably the funniest, roughest & most adorable 20month old ever. I loved seeing our little bruiser niece in the girl-iest...
Are you guys even AWARE of what is happening...
I can’t even. I’m going to Top Gear Live. Excuse me while I have a panic attack.

I'm not even kidding. Another Happy Birthday!
Of course there was another birthday today. This time, I am wishing my awesome big brother/cousin Matty a Happy 29th Birthday! This is the guy I’m always flying over to London to visit (I love how I say always, like I’m there every second week or something and not 3 visits over 3 years!).
Matty is awesome for like, 20 bajilion things, but mainly for: being the best big brother I...

Happy Birthday... again, again?!
My homegurl Brigitte turns 24 today. I want to wish her the happiest of birthdays, because I know without her in my life I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Always a shoulder to lean, cry or get drunk on, always there to listen, give advice or get drunk with, and most definitely one of my most favourite people in the world to laugh with. My friendship with Brigitte is...

My favourite month of the year.
Even with December being the most hectic month of the year, it’s still my favourite month. Besides Christmas, I celebrate my birthday, my anniversary, engagement anniversary, countless birthdays (as you might have picked up) and New Years Eve. Plus, it’s just such a happy time of the year. Christmas Spirit and all that jazz.
It’s without a doubt the most expensive and busy...

Happy Birthday... again!
Another day, another birthday! Today I am wishing a Happy Birthday to my sister in law Jessica who turns 28. I hope Tiah Bird and Stu Stu both spoil you rotten, and enjoy some Patron on your special day!
After spending the weekend together in Sydney, we are definitely on an “up” :) I’m pretty happy life worked out that I get to have you as my sister, because I don’t know...

Happy Birthday
Today I celebrate two very important birthdays! First, my sister Stacey, who is the cutie in the first picture, turns 33. We might not agree on everything (I hate talking on the phone, she hates texting - what a weirdo) but I still love her the biggest mobs ever. I thought she was the coolest sister in the world when I was little, and I’m pretty lucky to have her in my life when I need...

Home Sweet Home
I am home! I landed back in Perth yesterday, went to pick Rigby up straight away and spent the afternoon sitting in my house with him, happily. I managed to pick up a cold while I was away, and things are already super busy - so I have a lot to catch up on.
I’ll write again properly soon, but for now, here are some photos from the weekend of Miss Tiah Bird, who was the best little traveling...

Misses her bulldog. I miss Rick too, don’t get me wrong, but I’m used to not having him home for 2 weeks. Being away from Rigo? A whoooooole new and not very enjoyable time. I cannot wait to get home and pick this big boof of a pup up. I hope he misses me just as much as I miss him. I’ll change my mind as soon as it happens, but at this point, I even miss him stealing my...

Destination - Sydney
Right now, I am hoping on a plane to Sydney (actually I might have even departed by now, my flight is supposed to leave at 8.00am but who knows with Qantas).
I’m only going to be away for a few days - I’m home on Monday, but I’m pretty excited regardless. I have a super busy weekend;
Thursday: I arrive in Sydney just after lunch. By the time I get to my hotel, settle in, and...
