I have no idea what's become of my life. I think I recall it being quite peaceful or something. Ever since we got engaged everything's been crazy.

Work has been fiendishly busy. We're down a person and trying to keep paper sizes down so we're being pushed by the agencies AND the consultants because everyone wants to get their ads in. Not fun being in the middle!! Will be good when the new person on our team starts, should take some of the pressure off us...here's hoping anyway!

Things are picking up with my out of work life as well. Seems like I have stuff on every night and too many people to catch up with! I would kill for a week where I didn't have to go out AT ALL at night. But it's not happening yet.

I can tell I'm getting run down too!!!

Plus having to wedding plan - and find a photographer (for under $3,000 if possible!) - on top of it all is grinding me down a little!

I can't wait for the weekend. But even then there's things to do! I actually can't wait till easter. I'll have five days off and we're going to Ohau.

That will be GOOD.

Busy

This week has been INSANE. Seriously, so busy at work and I haven't had a night in since Tuesday. I'm exhausted but we're going to a barn dance tonight! Fun times :)

Hopefully home and in bed early though! Going dress shopping tomorrow...

My ring!!!

Resized and all!!! Eeeek!!!!

AHHHH!!!

I am engaged!!!!!!

YAY!!!!

More later...

Productivity

For a rainy, wet, freezing cold Saturday I feel like I have done quite well with myself. Not only did I manage to go to the gym for almost an hour in the morning, but I have managed the grocery shopping AND two batches of baking.

The proof?

In the pudding (so to speak!) - banana, blueberry, walnut and chocolate chip muffins and Anzac biscuits. My first time making Anzac biscuits. They are surprisingly easy to make. I shall never buy them again. (I'm willing to bet that I will retract that statement one day...)


Mmm...of course I have yet to taste test. But I have confidence in my abilities. (Just not in my ability to make carrot cake! Haha)

Work, work, work. Absolutely INSANE today. So many bookings for Saturday's Sits Vac. Seriously! On top of normal bookings in general.

Thank goodness the weekend is soon! Tomorrow should hopefully be quieter. Isn't it funny that now I have the internet at home I have nothing to blog about???

But here is an amooosing picture:

Slightly (?) out of focuse but it is Jeremy surrounded by all the leftover food in the fridge he suddenly decided to eat the night before he left for Wellington.

Here he looks slightly less retarded but very very stern. Lol. He has instant pudding, watermelon and two kinds of coleslaw there. This was also the night we were trying to get the internet to work.

Btw - happy Valentines day everyone. I don't really think of it as a "real" holiday, but it's kind of nice haven't a day devoted to love - so to speak! Isaac and I had lunch at the Mexican Cafe in town. And he got me a Witchard!!! I'm very excited.

When I can be bothered I will post pictures of Witchard.

And now he (not Witchard) has gone to play touch and I am bored.

Oooh...Friends is on.

Lol.

Finally!!!

We finally have internet at home! After waiting for Telstra for what seems like forever the modem showed up yesterday. But then, as luck would have it, the router decided to die on us.

So Smid went and got a new one.

And we FINALLY have internet.

I've felt so deprived recently.

Tomorrow is V-day. Not D-day, V-day.

Internet access!

But only because I'm at my parents'...we're still waiting for dirty Telstra to send us out our modem. At least I can briefly check my gmail etc at work. Been WAYY too busy to actually do much more though!!

Thank goodness for Waitangi day. It's not even bad that it's on a Wednesday. It's like a mid-week weekend...work has been insane. Everyone's trying to meet deadlines BECAUSE it's a short week. Ahh...the newspaper industry. Fun times.

But seriously, I'm loving the job. The people are great and work is not monotonous at all. (Well, maybe a little...) But it's just so good to not wake up and think "I hate going to work..."

New house is good. Good to have the freedom of living on my own again. (Albeit with flatmates...)

Anyway, photos from Fally's wedding last friday!!!

Newly married couple walking into the reception...

The newly engaged couple :)

See...stunning. Hah.

Fun times. Even if it was a Friday night!!!
