I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!

OMG!! where do I start.
Well dad was visiting from Indo and Ben was due to fly out again so we decided to stay someone for some time away from the kids which we hadn't had since Jayden being born. 

So on May 1st 2010 to be exact lol we stayed at Kudos Villas (www.kudosvillas.com.au/hepburn) which are absolutely gorgeous, we stayed at the diversion property.

Anyway he'd booked a massage for me and it was so nice just to relax especially soaking in that divine spa. We were sitting on the couch after my massage and we were just watching tv and talking. I had slightly mentioned awhile ago that I wanted to get married so I was saying I would much rather to buy a love couch like the one we were sitting on then have a ring on my finger haha just cos the couch is so expensive anyway the sneaky bugger put his hands in his pocket and said "a ring like this".
I was in shock. He then said will you marry me. I remember saying to him straight away "You shithead, how did you hide this from me" lol but of course I said "Yes"

The ring is gorgeous and is so sparkly, I love it, it's very me! I always have people commenting on how nice it is. I guess I'll share some pics with you tehehe.

It has a matching wedding band which is just stunning to!! but have to wait for that one until 

May 6th 2012

6 Months!!! wowza!!

Ok so it's been six months from the last post I did and I tell you want.. SOOOO much has happened. The last I left off was that we just moved into a new house and Ben was on his journey to PNG for the second time. Well all that was fine, a few more riots and attacks, but something to be expected of that country. On a better note since then he has found a new job in Australia YAY!! so he left a week ago and guess what... he's home in a week, so yup that means a 2/2 week roster!! It's going to be so much better for the kids and me. He also has a lot better communication and I at least know he's safe in Aus. He also likes it a lot better, the company is more organised, pays better, closer, safer, etc so he's been a lot less stressed and a lot more happy which makes for a happier me hahaha.

Well aside from all that there's so much else that has gone on in the last 6 months. I have a list of things I want to put in separate blogs just so I don't clutter this post with to much. some of which includes;

• My business is going well, I enjoy doing it.
• Ben proposed.. so yes I'm engaged and have picked a wedding date =)
• The kids have grown up so much, especially Jayden with all his new milestones
• Facebook, friends and drama oh it never ends hahah

Have a lot to cover so better get writing

So much since the last.

Okay so pretty much we found a house, we've moved and settled in. Ben's away on journeys again. Last time he was a way they had a major riot with the locals breaking into the compound and a lot of people were injured. He didnt want to tell me about it while he was there because he knew it would stress me out. I feel very un easy now that he's gone again, If he takes to long in replying to messages I automatically freak out. 

But so far things have been ok.. On the home front Ash a new friend I have made here in Ballarat is lovely who come's and keeps me company. We take the kids to the play center to let them have a run around. It helps in a town I know nothing about nor where anything is to at least have a friend.

I have also decided to take on a new business adventure making baby blankets. I had a few made for Jayden but I now want to share my idea's around and sell them to other people. My website is www.cuddleupkids.com.au I have been soooo busy trying to set that up that the time Ben has been gone has gone a little bit quicker. 

Also we've put Max into a school and he absolutely loves it, he was getting so cooped up at home but glad he has something he looks forward to. He'll also be starting swimming next term, so that also will be very exciting for him. He turns 3 in a couple of weeks, oh how they grow up so quickly, he's my little baby =S 

Well anyway just wanted to finally do an update. 

I've also half finished Jaydens surf theme nursery, I ended up getting the two tone furniture and I love it. Now all it needs is a few wall hangings and maybe a rug.

Theres a nice ladder shelf and wardrobes on the other side of the room but forgot to take photos, once it's done I'll take some more.

Anyways I really need to add some updated photo's of the kids on the website so I better do that. www.fiona-catherine.weebly.com.au

We Have a Home!

I''m so happy!! we finally found a home to settle into in Ballarat. I'm so glad to be out of my mum's house and into my own space with all my stuff! Thirteen of us at any one time at mum's was getting a little chaotic!

I have photo's of the house from the realestate listing but yet to have any photo's with our furniture! Well considering we only moved in today you can imagine it's still quite un tidy lol.

I'll soon update with some new photo's!

Shopping!!

I'm a girl that loves to shop!

Lots of new things mostly for the family but you know how it is when you have kids and a loving partner lol.

At the moment I am absolutely obsessed with Etsy.com they have the coolest stuff on there

I bought a blanket for Jayden's surf theme nursery but it's so cute and vintage I might have to keep it for myself lol - Thanks to Etsy shop Verdurebydesign

Also got a bunting for his room! also very cute.. - Thanks to Etsy shop Smith&Bird

I had this security blanket made for Jayden which I can attach his dummy to. It has a photo of him and Ben so he can keep Daddy close when he goes away. I absolutely love it. I have photo's but am still waiting for it in the mail. It's more then I dreamed of and can't wait to show it off. It's deff one of a kind - Thanks to Gemma from Etsy shop GemmaPayne She was so lovely to deal with and listened to my every request and I am truly grateful that she could make something to special for Jayden and Daddy. 

 It has soft minky on the back

The dummy chain I got also in the surf theme with Jayden's name on it -
Thanks to Etsy shop MichaAndMandy

I want to get a two toned cot and dresser for his room, it's the modern look and would go great with his stuff that I already have.

 I'm off to bed

Been Awhile!

Ok so Ben didn't come home early =( but on the plus side only 3 more sleeps yay!! 

So much has happened since last time I blogged. For starters the Perth plan a total bust. Dunno really think Ben freaked out and wants to be closer to his family which I get but still a little disappointing. I'm happy where he is and glad to have him so I guess I can't complain.

I finally have the ball rolling with this mediation and lawyers stuff so I can get Max away from Leigh soon until he's off stupid drugs because it scares the hell out of me that Max isn't safe =(

Jayden is great getting so big. Max is starting to play up with lack of routine so I'm dying to get our own place where-ever that may be and putting him back in school.

Um I'm so tired I thought I was able to remember all the things to update but wow really can't think or focus lol
