So began the week for wedding #1 in 2012... it was our friends younger brother getting married, with wedding ceremony at Clark Park in Lavendar Bay and reception at Doltone house. It was supposed to be a week of some memorable events, namely the first day of my son's kindergarten but when I came home on Wednesday, the last day leading into two weeks of leave, my son was coughing and pale. Sure enough, despite our efforts to keep him out of trouble, well clothed and warm, indoors etc, he had gotten asthma and had to miss his school interview and first day.
we had also planned for him to go to the wedding, buying him a new shirt, pants and would have bought him shoes but it was not to be. Two tough nights of waking up every half hour to 1 hour to nurse him through the toughest part of his asthma but we were rewarded with him waking brighter eyed the next day.
My daughter did go to the wedding though and i may be biased but she was the belle of the ball! She had her long hair down for once with gorgeous little curls, a new flowery dress and sweet pink polkadot cardigan... she had a blast, running with the other kids and quite enjoyed the dance floor. She was asked to dance by a friend's father who was asking for his little son which was so sweet...
my husband also succumbed to a flu so missed his training sessions... i skipped the running as the weather wasnt playing along but i didn't miss the running. I did however continue with my exercise videos and still love doing that.
On the loan front, have sent all outstanding requirements to obtain the loan and am waiting for the loan to be approved and paper work stamped etc etc... seems the market is experiencing a little dip at the moment what with first home buyer stamp duty over now, a small increase in unemployment plus the sacking of 500 odd employees from westpac. The immediate future does not bode well.
On the footpath front, husband managed to speak to the right person after several days of leaving messages and speaking to the wrong people. Supposedly it might be happening in two or so weeks... well let's just say we're not holding our breath!
And wedding anniversary? i reminded my husband about whether or not he had booked anything for our 'weekend away', so he got onto it... sometimes you have to help the romance along the way... not sure what I will get him though...
did i mention i got invited to my 3rd wedding for the year? this was for a workmate and i wasn't all entirely sure i was meant to be going but at the time i actually got the invitation, seemed that the RSVP was due pretty much the same day... so maybe i was a late contender?? anyway, not sure if anyone else I know from work is going... and btw, seems like camping has been put on the back burner for now... too much going on!
