December festivities

How is it already December? The weeks are flying again, as has the whole year. Where has the year gone!?! I have been married for nearly 7 months already – WOW

So last month was the issue with my feet. I have had orthotics for 2 weeks now and slowly getting back to walking correctly, long slow process but not in nay pain now so that is a good thing! So what have I done this month, hard to remember.  Took 2 days flexi and met rod in Sydney. I visited the new Macquarie University Library which has the robotic storage system, that was fun. We saw the Jersey Boys musical which we both loved!  Amazing, we’ve never been to the Capitol Theatre before and didn’t know where we’d be sitting, ended up on 2nd row, awesome, could actually see the performer’s facial expressions, loved it. We caught up with rod’s friends and chilled out as well. Good weekend away.

So there hasn’t been a lot of time for house hunting, but we are still looking. Been about 7 months now. Rod has done the majority of the work. We’ll find something one day.

What else? OK well some fo you will have noticed we’ve finally finished our wedding party invites and they have gone out in the mail. I am so happy with them, I totally love how they have turned out. We already have 35 RSVPs back already Thank you Can’t wait to get more once Xmas is over, something I’ll keep forever, that’s just what I do. in Jan we’ll meet with the function chick and decide food/drinkies and all that other important stuff. So it’s very exciting. Only 3.5 months to go!

So this month I didn’t want to book in a lot fo things until the day, but that had to change as people wanted to catch up. So we’ve done quite a bit already even though its only the 15th. I’ve had a section xmas lunch, 4 dinners in a row last week, including our awesome Secret Santa meal on Saturday night where the Lethal gang went to the yummiest Japanese place in the city: Matsuri and so cheap for the amount of food you got. I want to go back soon. This year we did things a little differently, we pulled out of a hat a gender, instead of a name, which was more interesting. So I bought for a boy, as did Rod so he knew he was getting what I bought, which was great, a logo board game and a bottle of beer. I got a nice candle and a bracelet I totally love, from Charlotte. Megs got a lists book and an organizer from Leigh and Leigh got this wicked clock from Rod. All lots of fun! Brilliant night!

Sunday 11th was our family Xmas lunch at my cousins house down south. All the family f rom Perth came along, something we haven’t done since my Kingshott Grandparents were alive. We had a brilliant day. The decorations were unreal, the food fab, the lucky dip Xmas present lots of fun and just a fantastic day. Rod even played some bocce and cricket with the girls. So glad everyone made the effort to attend.

Last night I went for dinner at Waggamama’s the food was so good and they’ve updated their wine list, with some fantastic WA wines. We had yummy food and then headed over to San Churros for a hot cold choc. YUM! Tonight is coffee with a few conference LT gals, tomorrow night is VC’s and this year it goes for 3 yours instead of 2, because the current VC is retiring, will be sad to see him go. Saturday – have the Leeming School girls catch up, Sunday a rest until 20/20 cricket.

Next week looks a little quieter (at this stage). Def going to get my hair coloured/cut, having one lunch at the pub and then we finish at 12 noon next Friday – hurrah. I am counting down the last few days of work, until our Xmas closure, always love this time of year! Charlotte and Megs have finished too by then and we’re hanging out for the day and then going into the city to try the new Aviary bar. Should be a great way to celebrate the end of a very busy working year!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2012, that brings lots of happiness and good health!

Cheers.
