Back Again...

I realised just how slack I had been in terms of blogging lately. Everything, life in general has been incredibly busy, and exciting and moving along so quickly that it's actually a good thing to stop for a moment and think.breath.enjoy.
Lets see.
Tim and I are counting down the days untill he moves into our first home! The plan is for him to move in this friday, and I shall follow after the wedding. Which come monday 6th is exactly 2 months away. We went over to see that place for the first time since Chris[the owner] had finished alot of the work he was doing to the place. Brand spanking new front deck and all the walls have a fresh coat of paint, the place looks positively amazing. I actually felt so close to tears, it's so beautiful and it's amazing that we will be calling it home. So blessed!



I've been getting regular casual work with the Autistic school and continue to feel challenged by the experience. I've been eyeing off a number of jobs beginning to be advertised for a 2008 start. Some applications have been sent and I'm waiting to hear back.











The furniture for the new house arrives on Friday, so the house will be beautifully furnished. What else can I really say, we have some incredible people, our parents who just keep on giving and giving and giving to the point that it blows our mind and we feel almost overwhelmed by the generosity and love.


Me and my king are going great guns as he just continues to challenge me through all aspects of my life; Discovering and deciding with Tim on our roles as future spouses - preparing to become one, while maintaininga healthy dose of independance from one another; continuing to build uplifting and encouraging friendships here in Melbourne; choosing a church home; chasing my life purpose and passions and just living in a way which is pleasing to him.


I feel really happy with life in general right now. I'm ready for the wedding to be here already, as I can't wait to be able to call Tim my gorgeous hunk of a husband and begin the next chapter of life as a married woman. I'm enjoying my work, enjoying the friendships which are continuing to grow from strength to strength, while also knowing that there are a heap of people I am yet to catch up with since I've been here in Melbourne. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you, so if we haven't caught up and you want to, then please sent me a text, email or comment here and we'll have to get together...either way, I'll probably be getting into contact soon, if I pull my finger out and get to it.


The most recent event on my social agenda, was the girly night I spent with Cathy out at her place. Which basically involved, Princess crowns, bubbles, videos, fairy bread, face masks and lots of D&Ms and giddy-giggles. Twas fun to just chill and act like little kids again. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in what it takes to be grown up that it's too easy to become jaded and surly...when all we need is a moment remembering what it is to be a kid, in all it's creative glory, building sheet cubbies and believing with all we are that we truely are princesses.



Cathy and I headed out today to see "Shut Up & Sing" The documentary made about the Dixie Chicks to document their experience after the backlash of Natalie's [the lead singer] comment in regards to the War on Terror and George Bush. I was transfixed by this film and it has shot up to sit quite easily in my top 10 favourite movies. It shows them in a completely differnt light to everything I thought them to be. You see the many hats they wear in their lives which are far bigger than simply musicians and performers, but also loving mothers and wives and quite simply people living in a country which insists it promotes free speech yet shuns those who actually decide to use it. On a bit of a side note, the singing in this film is incredible and I now know I never gave them enough credit in regards to their voices, because the harmonies were quite literally giving me goosebumps!




I highly recommend you see this movie if you have a chance, It comes with my highest recommendation.
[if your in melbourne then word is it's only showing at one Cinema, Lygon Plaza on the corner of Lygon and Elgin Street, with Drummond street running down it's other side]
I hope that life is beautiful for you also, lets share prayers
xoxo
