Hiii! How exciting, i’m totally engaged. That will keep me happy for another few years haha. Thankyou so much everybody for the well wishes, we’ll keep you posted on any plans.
Andy was very tricky with the proposal, he got me to get the camera ready for a photo of both of us and when i got back into position he got down on one knee and proposed (which is why we now have a photo of it! It’s not a re-enactment hehe). Very smooth Andy, very smooth.
In case I forget later it was on the 24th of May near Thornleigh Park on one of the walking tracks, ‘The Great North Walk”, the little stream there was very pretty and secluded. The family went to dinner last night to celebrate, i’m looking forward to more good times up ahead.
On a related note, love is in the air with heaps of other people getting engaged. Congrats to Michael and Kate who announced their wedding plans earlier in the year I dont think we ever ‘blogradulated’ them so yeah best wishes for you two, I’ve also noticed quite a few of my friends are engaged via facebook! I must admit the first thing I did was change my facebook relationship status…

Just got pics of Rachael and Matthew’s wedding up at Kurrajong, it was very nice wedding and the lunch time reception was an awesome idea.
It was great seeing Vanessa and Alexis again they were great company (along with Vanessa’s fiance also called Andrew) and meeting some of Matthews friends.
We wish the lovely couple well!
 
 
Well well it’s been an interesting week. The biggest news has been that Dana came to town for a few days and Andy’s bike almost left town!
The first thing that really happened was Andy’s computer broke down and he spent all week trying to fix it. That was purely self inflicted though (trying to install a new hard drive and switch cases at the same time). Then one morning he realised somebody had tried to steal his bike (damaging it in the process) and this was after finding out his tool kit was stolen from the back of his bike the previous week. Andy’s fixed both the computer and his bike, he’s attached an alarm to it so hopefully we should hear it go off if anybody touches it and hopefully this streak of bad luck has ended now!
Dana arrived on Friday morning so both me and Andy took the opportunity to take a day off. She arrived with yummy cookies and pressies too, thanks Nigel for the cyberman clock and sonic screwdriver, Andy said they’ll totally come in handy next time alien pigs attack local monuments.
So we hung out at towers and then later that night me, Andy and Andrea took Dana to a rather interesting show called "Busting Out" at the Factory Theatre in Enmore so we had dinner at a nearby Asian restaurant. On Saturday me and Dana did a bit of shopping at Hornsby while Andy was fixing his bike, poor guy. Later that night we went to my parents house for dinner.
On Sunday Andy was still fixing his bike so me and Dana took the train into the city and went to the Mind Body Spirit Festival at the Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour where we went to all the stalls and must have drank half our body weight in sample teas. On Sunday night after fish and chips for dinner we dropped Dana off at my parents place so that she and my mum could hang out on Monday before driving her to the airport.
All in all it was a lovely weekend, thanks Dana for coming all the way to Sydney and visiting us, next to visit we hope is Joanne and Wayne, Nigel or Rod when he’s well enough and Isabella’s always welcome, parents/guardians optional :p
Stay tuned for more updates as they come!
