Valentine's day

This is how we celebrated

Lunch by

And some of my favorite flowers from hubby

Lucky for him I'm not obsessed with roses...just calla lily's :)

A Saturday Drive

So who does not love some time with the one they love out in nature? On Saturday, being that it was busy for both of us, each going our own way (Jeremy to tennis, me to a baby shower) we decided to take a drive up north. Most of the time when we take road trips, we go south, so going anywhere north for me is interesting in itself! We ended up at Stanwell Tops, found a place to park and spent the next hour enjoying the view. :)

We did have one thing bug us, this huge ant who would not seem to get away!

Australia day

So this is a bit late, since Australia day is Jan 25th, but I still need to post on it! So here it istradition within the church that all the young people go camping over this holiday weekend. My first thoughts when I moved here was that I was never, ever going to be doing that! But this was my second camping trip, and I have to say I really enjoy it. So relaxing to just get away from everything.

First up is the camp site, this year we picked a beach, about 2 hours south from here. We drove down on Wednesday night after church, in the rain, lots of fun, lol. Thankfully we had some others who were already around there, and had taken the tents and set them all up for us! So all we had to do that night was find the spot they had set up and head to bed, seeing as it was about 11 by the time we got down there.

Here is the beach we were near, about a 3 minute walk out from the camp site.
That's all the photos that I had taken, camera died after this :( But the next few days were a blast. We did get some rain, that's always fun. So everyone went into hiding in the tents until our always well packed friend arrived with the tarp for for everyone to gather under :)

Saturday morning we had breakfast then started packing. As fun as camping is there is nothing like coming home to a nice clean shower! And although we did have a few bumps getting home (Sarah and Dave breaking down) We all had a wonderful time. now the wait until next years trip :)
