On Sunday Simon and i went to paddlefest which was run by mum's rotary club. Mum had a team in the dragon boats which simon was in, they had to heats and then won the final!!! it was a fun day but Simon is still a bit sore from it.

We went to Port Macquarie for a few days last week. We had beautiful weather and we went up to the farm, which is full of fruit. charlie has done amazing things to it. this is us out to breakfast one morning with Drew, Chula and Charlie.

At the weekend we went to one of Simon's friends parents place up the valley. The dad is a artist and makes sculptures. this was their post box on the road - it is awesome!! i am going to get him to make one when simon and i get a place... haha

On Friday i graduated !! yeah for me. luckily there wasn't too many graduates for the ceremony that we were at only about 120. Then we went out to lunch with Simon's parents which was lovely. now i have the degree all i need is the job.

We have had a busy easter this year, with a lunch at mum's on Saturday, then on Sunday we had a BBQ at Simon's brothers place. with a big easter egg hunt !! And on monday we had some friends over for a lunch at dads. These photos are of Ed and Louise relaxing on the lounge after a big lunch (with Lucy) and the other is Simon's nieces Freya and Sylvie eating their easter eggs after the hunt.

this is Simon's cat "kitty" she loves having me back - i take her to the vets where she gets needles and i steal Simon away from his place so she has no one to play with !! nah she really does love me cause i feed her, most of the time. she looks so cute and innocent in this photo but really she is not!

back to the real world.. well kind of. i have been looking for work since i have come back but i took a break at the weekend for one of Simon's friends Doyle to take me for a ride of his motorbike !!! it was so much fun - i think i might have to get one myself. now back to the job hunting....

okay sorry i haven't blogged sooner - but i made it home safe and sound after the long flights. although once i did get back into Australia there was a accident on the road between Sydney and Newcastle so i was suck on that for two hours. But hey after a 34 hour trip another two hours wasn't that bad. I surprised nan for her birthday, and this is one of all her grandchildren at a dinner we had to celebrate!!
