Hats

So watching the royal wedding made me all nostalgic for my own (on a SLIGHTLY smaller scale of course). But the one thing I realised that's missing from most weddings...HATS!

Seriously some of the women looked amazing and I think they should be bought back as a requirement at most weddings it just added that extra touch of va-va voom.

PS: Whilst there is no doubt Kate looked beautiful how stunning did her sister Pippa look, I'm a sucker for those buttons running down the back of her dress!

So happy she chose Alexander McQueen and that it looks like my favourite Royal Wedding dress (Grace Kelly).

Sculptures

So after a VERY religious wedding ceremony (to each their own but I really don't enjoy being forced to pray, instead I just willed the couple my best wishes). The bride looked stunning! I couldn't get a good photo of the dress but I definitely had dress envy. It was figure hugging but not too much and covered in a gorgeous lace with lots of sparkle! And the groom who usually sports a full on beard was clean shaven!

We went straight to look at the Sculptures by the Sea (after a brief stop at the in-laws so Hubby could get changed). It was so windy but worth it, I really enjoyed it, here are some pictures from the day:

 

It was heaps of fun but very windy! That's no where near all the photos just the ones I got on my iphone before it decided to get grumpy and not want to work.

I can't wait for Hubby's birthday and for the big family dinner, Wednesday is going to be AWESOME!

Weddings, Sculptures, Bike Hikes...Oh My!

Today is going to be busy, it's only 550am and I'm awake. My Hubby & Dad have left to get to the start of the Bike Hike (they're doing the 60km option) then as soon as they get back we need to start getting ready for this wedding (thankfully we're not invited to the reception which is the last thing I feel like doing), attend wedding, go & view sculptures and finally catch up with one of my best friends to go over his house plans.

It's going to be an awesome day and I can't wait to post photos later on :)

Oh and I changed my hair it's now mahogany (pretty red) and looks very pretty and with my gorgeous new dress (a present from Mum) I'll definitely do a little show and tell. I really want to braid my hair for today but I have no idea how. I guess I could youtube it but I really suck at that kind of thing!

Happy New Years Eve

The last day of 2010 and I'm not sad but excited! If 2010 was so amazing then 2011 is going to be LEGENDARY! (Yes I love How I Met Your Mother).

So many things happened in 2010 with the number one spot being taken out by finally becoming a Mrs. I only say finally because it seemed like ages in the making and it probably was I'd say from maybe a month in (but most likely 2 weeks at a bbq in Kings Park) we both knew we were goners.

2. Moving in together - definitely up there on the top of the list! I can't believe we didn't do it sooner (only a month before we got married!) but it really helped to make us feel like our own little family.

3. Our niece being born. December 28th 2011 I'm so very glad for her that it was after Christmas and before January when everyone else's birthday is!

3. Moving into Mum's old place - finally no more dealing with evil real estate agents (although we still are waiting to get our bond back!) 

 4. My sister finding a nice boy to date. He is a salt of the earth dinky di Australian and is definitely causing her to grow up more. Combined with my Mum finally finally finally finding a great man to share her life with!

5. My Hen's weekend - whilst it was very hit and miss (thanks in large part to clashing personalities - you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family) it was still an awesome get away in an amazing house with a bunch of great girlfriends.

6. Getting my job! Lately I've really loved going to work and it's in large part due to the great people and the acknowledgement they all give for a job well done.

7. The brother-in-law getting married - and my first time being a bridesmaid.

8. Doing all the Christmas stuff as a family without birthday restrictions or anything else

 

9. Deciding to start trying for a baby our philsophy is whatever will be will be but don't risk having a bundle of joy whilst hubby is a bundle of nerves during his exams!

10. Having my friends and family around me all year something I am always grateful for.

I guess tomorrow will be the day for a resolutions post! I'm looking forward to going out tonight and not drinking which is a rare occurence for me (which reads as though I'm an alcoholic which I promise I'm not, I just go a bit crazy on special occasions!). So bring on 2011!!!
