Happy Easter everyone! We hope you have all enjoyed a well earned 4 day break and got to enjoy the sunshine. We also hope the easter bunny was as kind to you as he was for us. He brought Clint a world record 14 cadbury creme eggs, we werent sure there'd be a basket big enough to carry them safely in to deliver. Kylie didnt do too bad for herself either, she got the kinder beuno and ferrero rocher she asked for.
On Good Friday we attended the morning services at modbury/para vista uniting. During the afternoon Clint had a marathon nintendo wii session with jessie while Kylie worked hard on preparing maps/gift baskets for the evenings youth group with the modbury uniting youth.
(just for the record clint is undefeated at wii tennis)
So for youth group we decided to take the 14 kids on an "easter egg drop". We got the kids to make a card which had a message of hope and love and then bundle it into a small gift. We made 30 of them and then "hopped" into cars and drove to various church members houses and the kids jumped out and sneakily placed them by their front doors.
It was very entertaining watching them scale fences and opening creaky gates to deliver these little surprises!
The feedback from peoples reactions during the sunday morning service was very positive and proved to be very worthwile!
On the weekend before easter we both went to clints 20 year primary school reunion held at his teachers house. It was a great afternoon talking about that time and it was great to introduce Kylie to them. Everyone has changed quite alot (duh) but they were still familiar faces.
We have been very busy the last few weeks putting our wedding plans into motion and working towards our new life together. Lots of work still to be done and finishing touches to be put on things but it seems to be all coming together and we both are very blessed to have so many people in our lives that love and support us the way they do.
We have the reception venue booked and a photographer too which are huge ticks in our boxes. Its shaping up to be the best day of our lives!
Hopefully by the end of april, Clints place @ st marys will be ready to rent out. Theres still minor renovations that need to be done, including the painting of the bathroom/laundry. This is something we are both looking forward to doing as anything could happen really. Then we are looking to find a house to rent as newly weds in the broadview/hampstead Gardens area, so theres not much time left to go at st marys! how exciting!
So we still have a busy few weeks coming up including a visit to sunny mildura to attend our good friends Reggie and Annika's wedding. This will be a special day and we are really looking forward to it!
pics to come!
