Yes, I am still here!

Hello there,

well, you could easily be forgiven for thinking i had fallen off the planet!!! I know, it's been to long between posts, but I have been really busy that's all.

In the middle of September, Steve, Ashley and I went on holiday for a week up to Steve's sister's place in Whangaparaoa. It's such a beautiful setting and so quiet and relaxing, which is exactly what we all needed. Kirstin, David and Devin came up to visit the first weekend we were there and some of Steve's friends from work popped up as well. Other than that, we just had some much needed family time together. We took Ashley up to the Waiwera in the middle of the week and she absolutley loved it!! She had the most adorable smille plastered on her face the entire time we were in the pool. She was getting very brave towards the end, jumping off the little steps on the side of the pool, regardless of whether mummy and daddy were ready to catch her or not!!

Of course, once the holiday was over it was back to work, which quickly put paid to the relaxing and recharging that had happened the week before!! Everything has been really full on for the last couple of weeks, as on Monday just gone, Travelex opened at the airport. It has been a pretty manic time I must say. Obviously, the first week has had it's fair share of teething problems and dramas, but I can only hope that it starts to settle down from now on, otherwise I don't think I'll be able to stick it out!

Well, Kirstin has tagged me again as well. I'm supposed to come up with a word or comment that describes me for the each letter of my name. Hmmmmm, a bit of a challenge I must say, but I'll give it a go:

Tempermental - But who isn't?! Seriously tho, I'm surprised my DH puts up with me. I can have a real Jekyll/Hyde personality swing in 2 seconds flat, and he unfortunately ends up on the receiving end of it most the time. I am aware of this, and I do conciously try not to do it, but sometimes the emotions get the better of me and I'm off!!

Romantic - I'm a hopeless romantic a heart. I love a good old fashioned, soppy girly romance flick and adore hapy endings!! I love the whole romance bit; chocolates, flowers, candlelit dinners etc. Is there any hope for me?

Ashley - Ok, I know that sounds a little weird as a word to describe me, but this adorable, loving little girl is the absolute centre of my universe. She makes me smile, she drives me mad, she pushes me to the absolute limit half the time, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't and don't want to imagine what my life would be like without her!

Crazy - about the other important person in my life, my gorgeous hubby Steve. As previously mentioned, he is incredibly tolerant of me and all my mood swings and quirks, but he is also the most loving and wonderful man in the world. He has his little quirks that make him just so cute (and he'll kill me for saying that), but I love him to pieces and wouldn't have him any other way.

Empty - As in I can't think of a single thing to describe me for the letter E, so this one is going to remain unfilled, sorry.

Yellow - Meaning "scaredy-cat". Alot of people think I'm brave because I can be this feisty little "pitbull" but in reality, i'm scared of just about everything, heights, thunderstorms, geese, confrontations. You name it, I'm probably scared of it.

Well, that's that. I've done my tag, but I have noone that i can tag, so my branch finishes here.

I've updated my blog, which has been a long time coming, but I won't make any rash promises that I will do it more regularly, cos then I'm just setting myself up for failure.

See you whenever I update next.

Bye. ;-)
