We have the ceremony location, reception venue, MC, Make-up Artist, Hair dresser, and the celebrant booked! oh and i have my dress!!!

the photographer may be booked but im so indecisive, as a photographer i know what i like and dont like and so i have been rediculously fussy on this one lol. but i know someone who has a beautiful style, so fingers crossed !

so now i have to book cake maker, find flowers, bridesmaid dresses and joely has to finish choosing his bridal party!

half way there… 5 months to go :)

i need to buy a new harddrive to create a proper back-up system for my photos and photography! especially if i’m going to start a photography business!

today we finally saw our celebrant… she is amazing, i love her! she has such a beautiful, genuine interest in her job and does it for the love of it… perfect !!!

if you’re in qld getting married check her out first!!!

i have struggled with this for a long time… i have so many body hang-ups adn im so lazy (or just exhausted sometimes) to do anything about it… my style has been t-shirts, singlets and denim, but i feel like i look so odd in them sometimes, and that tall skinny people like my best friend look better in them!

But now Im getting married next year its time i start getting into a better healthy routine… So i want my new style to cross over more into purple hair (yes purple hehe), home made mod dresses, & bohemian jewellery…. love it!

Im so excited about this goal… this is happening quicker then i thought! So far I have knocked off my credit card and personal loan debt… My fiance and I have nearly paid off one of our courses and have one payment left this month.

We are working in a bar and the tips have been great, we have pulled in anywhere between $50 and $200 in a weekend. We never spend our tips and were saving them for a trip at the end of the year. We have now decided to use them to pay off our debts (which should be done in next 2 months), then keep saving for our wedding next year!!! YAY!!!

well my self controll has gone out the window… however since i began this goal (just after i had glandular fever last september), my skin type has completely changed from dry and dehydrated to healthy and normal… im so happy that i dont have to worry about my foundation looking unnatural and looking pasty.

so i have done the scanning, and labelling… now im up to organising all my digital photos and create back-ups of all of them!

Over the last 3 years i have read more books then i had over my life… not many but at least 2-3 a year!

This year i did a creative writing course and had to read 7 books in 13 weeks... that was a huge challange for me! The books were very full on heavy reading such as Voss by Patric White and Alias Grace by Margarett Atwood.

Just before that course i bought my first grown up novel – pride and predjudice by jane austen! Normally i read chic lit like Bride Stripped Bare and Vince and Joy by Lisa Jewell (which is fantastic by the way)!!!

All my friends read serious grown up books, but i like fun, bubbly books!

we are so lcose to being debt free

we have paid off his car loan (like $17k), so now there’s just my loan and my course…

then i can get a new camera and pay for a course to update my skills!!!

I am working on this one at the moment…

first i am scanning all my old photos… starting with school photos, family and baby photo albums…

second i have scanned all my old film photography

now i am going through labeling all the photos and putting them in order

I have been drinking so much water this month… been a bit slack this last week. Mainly cos im working at the moment and i cant run off to the toilet every 5 minutes lol!!!

I had glandular fever a couple of months ago, and since i have been getting so weak and dehydrated very quickly… So i have to drink heaps of water just to stay alert!!!!!!!!!!!
