We're back!!

Hi all,

Here we are again. Our lives have been so busy lately and there are not many hours in the day and there is not enough days on the weekend.

Jon has been busy and travelling with work lately and Nat is learning to get used to that - which he's really proud of. Though the kids appear to be great company.....

Nat decided to have a night out and had a great time letting loose last night. She didn't do too bad and only had a slight hangover but like always, Jon was there to pick her up to make sure she got home safe. Anna seemed to be a little more worse for wear and hit a wall (not literally) but the funniest part of the night was Anna being refused entry to The Establishment for being 'drunk'. Come to think of it, it was a very 'diverse' night as Nat is aussie, Anna is american, Kevin is irish, Loren (sp?) is kiwi and Peter is dutch.

At the moment we are doing a countdown to Nat's 30th birthday and Nat has no idea what is planned nor is she allowed any input. Also Raechel (and Vanessa) are leaving a couple of days afterwards for Russia (since she was away for Nat's birthday last year). Raech has the travel bug big time.

We are currently getting our act back together and want to finish painting the [inside] house ASAP and the sooner the better, that way it is out of the way.

That's all from us for now but we'll update shortly.

Regards,
Jon and Nat

PS. Jon wants to know how he got so lucky with the bestest and hottest wife!!

Happy Easter

Recent holiday

We recently went on a holiday to the Gold Coast for a week - it was definitely needed (we hadn't had one in sooo long)!! We stayed at our usual apartment complex in Main Beach and had a great time relaxing and (trying) to sleep-in.

It rained the first 2 days but that didn't bother us, we still went swimming (and shopping)! It perked up on the Wednesday so we just relaxed (more swimming and reading book). We were looking forward to the Thursday!!

We had organised for Jessica (our eldest niece, who is 9) to come up for a few days, which means that Raechel was an escort and able to also have a break. It was funny because we were waiting at the airport to pick them up and we watched them walk through the doors and we called out to Jessica and she waved, had a sheepish funny look and kept walking. Nat had to say Jessica again to get her attention. The reason Jessica kept walking is because Raechel told her that she was going on a business trip and Jess was to accompany her - so she wouldn't cotton on that she would be with us.

I think she was tired and a little overwhelmed by her (first) flight.

We then spent the day together and that night we went to Outback Spectacular, it was amazing and we had a great time (Jess wanted to do it again the following night). Whilst we were waiting to go in, we ran into our friend Michael Limnos (which was a complete spin-out) but also great to see him.

On the Friday we took Jessica to Movie World and she had a great time. Though it is a bit smaller for us adults than when we were younger. It was a great day and Jess' happiness was all that mattered.

So, that night we all went to Hard Rock Cafe - the only one left in Australia now. Raech and Nat had a great time taking the mickey out of each other AND getting tipsy, Jon had a great time and Jessica thought she was the beez neez. We went to the night markets on the beach afterwards and Jess gained herself a great 'foam' lizard.

We were returning Saturday night so on Saturday we took Jess to TimeZone then afterwards to Brisbane city for a looky look. We had a great flight home and the time went all too quickly.

We were just happy to relax, go swimming everyday and surprise Jessica.

Oh, did we mention that we had a comp upgrade to a Toyota Aurion Sportivo?? Well, it was noice!! :-)
