Not typically two terms you hear together but I thought they sounded great together. That’s why Jody and I got engaged while we were in China. Apart from Jody being quite blunt that she thought that it would happen while we away, it was a romantic affair at M on the Bund in Shanghai. So, we are to be wed.
Here’s us with the Shanghai business district views in the background.
Here’s the slideshow or the album of the pics from the trip.
What a milestone! Our fantastic Mum has hit the half century. Jode’s and I headed to Perth (thankfully - a little closer than Tom Price) at the end of March for the big birthday bash weekend with Mum, Dad and Jody (Y) and Kim. We arrived on the Thursday night, flew out on the Monday and breathed a sigh of relief at the much better deal than the shotgun fly-in-fly-out exercise we usually do. We celebrated the momentous occasion with food, fun and photos… and drink. We dined at the C Restaurant at the top of the AAPT town in the city. It’s a rotating restaurant which was definitely fun. We also had some family pics with a professional photographer for posterity. They turned out pretty well as well! Mum also picked up the new mutt. Milly? Messy? Minnie? I don’t know… I was never good with names.
Jode’s and I decided to hit the big-city lights of Brisvegas for Easter this year to hang out with Nathan. Considering he can be as boring as bat shit (jokes!) and there’s nothing to do in Brisbane, it was lucky that Adam and Anna decided to come up from Melbourne to have some fun as well! A great time had by all I must say. We had so much fun we had to take a couple of trips down towards the Goldcoast to visit some fantastic attractions in Seaworld and Wet & Wild. Good fun, really! We also managed to chow down on some pretty fantastic steak at Char Char Char in the city and a partake in a feast of feasts hosted by Nath’s gem of a mum (I’m still recovering Susie Q!).
We jetted off to sunny, south-of-the-border Melbourne for a shin-dig of epic proportions to celebrate the arrival of our favourite family in a new home. (more…)
Well, this post is a little dated as we headed to the goldcoast in June. It’s now August. Enough said. (more…)
