...and here we go!

So we have now made it to the other side of the fence where the grass is greener! We celebrated our big day nearly 2 months ago, relaxed on our honeymoon and we both are now back in the swing of things. To get to this point though, quite alot has happened!

Kylie was at work for just 3 days when it was time to facepaint at the adelaide show! During this time our good friend Nicole celebrated her 18th birthday party which we were unfortunately running late for. So late were we that as we were coming up to the front door we heard everyone inside about to pose for a group photo. Kylie decided to make the last chance effort to make the photo even though we hadnt even arrived yet. To our surprise as we came running through the door, everyone was facing our direction and due to the floor being extremely dusty (there was renovations going on to the building) Kylie slipped and became a human bowling bowl knocking over several guests, but got a strike! You know how sometimes you wish you had your video camera out just incase something funny happens? and if you send that video in to Australias funniest home videos, chances are you'd win first place? Well this was one of those moments. A moment which had most people muttering the words "What The???" A defining Kylie moment, this was the new Kylie Brice introducing herself to the world.

We had a great time at the party too! You are a special person Nicole, who deserves the best in what life has to offer! Thanks for asking us to be part of youre special night.

So it was time for Kylie and her mum to fly to Melbourne and facepaint at the show for 2 weeks. We had only been married for a few weeks and then we were apart for 2! Luckily for me, Jessie knew that id miss Kylie alot so she was kind enough to let me borrow her Nintendo Wii for a few days. I was blown away by her generosity, so much so that i became a pro in Wii tennis in no time! This passed the time very quickly and we were back together in no time!

While she was away we bought our first lawnmower! (thanks Shauna!)  Mum came round and helped tidy the garden and we trimmed the bushes and planted some veggies and herbs. (Which reminds me, i should water them) Heres a picture of me whipping the lawn (weeds) into a frenzy.

The Modbury Uniting Church U14 basketball team made it into their first grand final. Unfortunately they didnt get the win on the day but they did so well to get that far and to do their absolute best against a team who were pretty much twice the size of them! Theres always next season! The mens team which features Kylies bro, Dan, won theirs easily. Nice work bro!

We spent the october long weekend with the kids from modbury uniting youth in Mt Barker for Sayco. This is a christian camp for kids between the ages of 12 to 15. It was a great weekend, lots of funny moments, learning experiences and the kids got really into it. We came back totally exhausted but with a smile on our dial.

Halfway through the weekend, daylight saving kicked in and we lost another hour sleep to the many others we already missed =P

After surviving the Mt Barker weekend, we invited Jessie around for dinner and seeing it was her birthday recently, we decided she could have whatever she wanted for dinner. She chose vegetarian nachos and what a great choice that was. Kylie whipped the kitchen into a frenzy and came up with some pretty tasty nachos! I couldnt get them into my belly quick enough!

We had a chocolate fondue for dessert too! Good choices Jessie and thanks Kylie for everything! The next day the girls went and saw the movie, Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Jessie then invited us to her birthday party at her house and we had a lot of fun there too! We got to decorate our own cupcakes and gingerbread stars and men with help from our friend Belinda. Kylie made this cool star...

I made this gingerbread star...

thanks Jessie, we had a great night and we know you did too with your friends.

Things are moving along nicely so far and in the last few days we have recieved some good news! The house i was building out at Elizabeth has finally been completed and i made the trip out there to pick up the keys.

It was a great experience walking through the front door and down the hallway enjoying the "new house smell".

This weekend our good friends david and Sarah finally tie the knot. How exciting!
more to come.....
