Happy Birthday Cam!

Today Cam turned 28! Happy birthday Cam! To celebrate, we began the day by splitting many logs of wood, then stacking them in a barrel. Wow, excitment! The fun kept comng when we went into town to eat lunch (Nando's - yummy!) and buy some celebratory dvd's. We each chose a few, then came home and watched the one I wanted to watch!! Haha, even on his birthday, I get to watch what I want. We had party pies, little hot dogs and diet coke for tea and ate Cheesecake Shop cheesecake for dessert. Now Cam is about to watch one of his dvd's and I am going to lie in bed and watch Gossip Girl Season 1 which I bought today. I'm sure I will love it!
Before tea we started looking at our wedding ceremony, and deciding what sort of vows and things we want in it. It was so exciting thinking about it! So far we have done lots of planning, but haven't thought about the actual ceremony much, so it's nice to remember and think of what we are actually planning for!
We have also started thinking about a honeymoon and have decided to go to Vietnam! Oooh, my first overseas adventure, I am so excited! It's bad enough having to wait 250-odd days for the wedding, but then to have to wait that long for an awesome holiday too...it's just not fair! Why couldn't we have planned the wedding for May????? Or for tomorrow?? I'm free tomorrow!!! Ok, let's just get married tomorrow. Done. See you all then.

I am master of my terrain

Today I spent an outrageous amount of money...on a chainsaw. And I was really excited about it.
It's Cam's birthday on Monday, and I decided while ago that we needed a new chainsaw to cut our wood, so that could be Cam's birthday present.
So now we will be those people who spend every weekend cutting wood and splitting wood and stacking wood and burning wood...and I'm happy to be those people! (although ask me in a year and i'm sure that novelty will have worn off!)
We have so much we want to do around our home/land, and most of it involves chopping things down, so upgrading to a mega-awesome-chainsaw (it's offical title) is something we really needed to do. When we first moved, we bought a small chainsaw from Bunnings, which we were imressed with at the time, but it very quickly became apparent that it couldn't do what we needed it to do. So today we traded it in for the new chainsaw and got a really good deal, so we are happy!
And now that we are turning into woodcutters, wen we have kids we'll be able to abandon them in the bush with nothing but a pile of breadcrumbs...Ahhh, my life is a fairytale.

Brand New Journal

After the mysterious collapse of my livejournal, I have finally decided that it is not going to fix itself, so I should create another journal.
So here I am!
