It started with this...

One afternoon back in December I was having a particularly shit afternoon at work. An email arrived telling me of the latest international flight specials and on impulse I bought two tickets to NYC.

I kept it a secret for the boy and gave him this card and this snow globe for Christmas.

Now D day (departure day) has rolled around. Relief after a long slog this year and giddy excitement are slowly coming over me.

I'm ready!! Yay for holidays, yay for NYC, yay for traveling with my handsome fella.

Birthday eve love

I have the cutest cheekiest handsomest man I could ever want. Xx

Sorry.

I feel like there are a lot of people cranky with me at the moment. For reasons I'm not sure, but I'm sorry.

If it's because I've been neglectful, I'm sorry. I've been neglectful of me also.

One day at a time. I'm slowly getting there.

Here is a pretty picture.

10 years ago today I met a handsome fella.

He is still handsome.

Mr and Mrs Barrett

This weekend, the boy and I travelled from Melbs to Mudgee for an unbelievably lovely wedding.

After weeks of non-stop rain, the clouds parted and the sun shon brightly. 

Just like these two people, the wedding was so well planned, thoughtful and simply gorgeous.  It was so lovely to be part of the day.  I loved the bride's dress. It suited her to a T! Her veil was her great-grandmother's which was so special.  They each had photos of their grandparents at the reception which was really special.  The flowers and table decor were spectacular, the speeches heartfelt and genuine, and the food matched with wine was delicious. 

What a fitting way to celebrate these two lovers.
