Office organizing

For the first 6 months of living in our apartment, our spare room was set up as a bedroom since my sister was living here for the time being. Since she has now left and moved back to the States, we now have a office. Which means that after over a year and a half I now get my own desk, as well as somewhere to put all my crafting stuff! Mind you, after that long of being stored in suitcases under a bed or in a closet, I've not really got my touch back for crafting. Think I just need the right thing to get me started again :) In the mean time though, I get to enjoy looking at it all nice and organized. 
Or should I say organised to keep all those out side of the USA happy? ;)

Latest work update

After the first 6 weeks at my job I finally got the phone call I had been waiting for. I would be getting transferred to a different store, working Monday-Friday, 11am-5pm.

6 weeks in at my new store and I have to keep telling myself that it will get better. Right now the store is under huge renovations. The floors have been ripped up, aisles closed, stock moved from one end of the store to the other. Departments closed for weeks, we have been without a bakery for 4 weeks now. Needless to say, it's just one big mess! First few weeks were all right, but now everyone is tired of dust, noise, and things moving. Seem everyone is on their last straw.

But on the good points, no more night work, no more trolleys, and no more Saturdays. And, once all the renovations are done, I will have a like new store to work in! :D

Easter- Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

Saturday we went down to Killalea state park for a picnic lunch and some fun. The day was just a slight bit chilly, but over all not to bad. Once you get in the sun it does warm you up pretty good. Most everyone played soccer and Frisbee, other then me since I had to work that night, and didn't want to wear myself out :p But I still got to get some sun and enjoy the beautiful day :)

Sunday started out good, we were up on time, all dressed up for church, even left on time! Have to remember me and Jeremy hate to be late to anything, so on time, does not mean we are always late, just later then we like to be ;) Got about 5 minutes from the church when Jeremy's phone went off, some number that was not saved and we didn't get to it in time. We get closer to church and I check my phone, missed call from Faith. I quickly call her back, to hear a very nervous/sobbing Faith on the other in of the phone. She had been in a car crash, not her fault, and both her and Luke were fine. But I could tell my the way she sounded she should not be driving. So we pulled into the church parking lot, told Jeremy's dad of what had happened and took off back towards home. The car was not that bad off, by looks anyway, but not the thing anyone wants to deal with on a holiday!  All things said and done the car ended up a ride off, since it was not worth fixing. We had a wonderful day after that. All of Jeremy's family came over for dinner so we spent most of the evening enjoying the company.

Not much to write about as far as Monday goes,  left the house about 10 that morning to help a friend move. Finished with that about 4 or so, then came back home and relaxed :)

Over all it was a very interesting weekend, thankfully me and Jeremy both had the Tuesday off as well. We went up to Sydney for some shopping. 

Driving up

I thought this looked very pretty :)

How we spent most of our lunch, looking at facebook :p


Some of the best ice cream I have ever had! This was banana spilt :) yummy!

Now I didn't take any photos of the shopping "damage" but lets just say there was a lot of it! It was a very fun day and a nice way to end the long weekend :)
