A Visual Update :)

Well I thought it was time to give you all some new photos. We've been working hard and spending harder.

Dan finally got a new addition, a new tattoo. He's been dyeing to get a half sleeve done for years and always wanted a koi, so, thanks to a big tax cheque, he's managed to do it, in drips and drabs. I wasn't too keen on it at first, but once the coloring started to go in, it started to take shape and it looks great. He's done three sittings of 1hr-2hrs on it and has about one or two more left. The tattoo artist is truly an artist and I'm pretty sure Dan's very happy with the way it's turning out. Too late if he aint I suppose :P

3 more days and our new IKEA store opens up. It's going to be a big change for everyone as the real job will start, so hopefully I still like it :P If not, I guess I can always go to another department. Should be good though, busy busy, make my shifts go quick. Dan's still enjoying his work. He's working a 90 hr week this week thanks to some overtime and picking up an extra shift. So I'm sure he'll be ready for the weekend when it comes. But he seems quite content there and no complaints about it, so I'm really happy for him.

Junior got his last puppy vaccination last weekend. So I guess you could say he's a big boy now :P We weighed him while we were at the vet as well, 10 kg!! He was 2.5 kg when we first got him! I can't believe how big he's gotten so quick! A little terror at the moment, chewing heaps, anything he can get his mouth around and tonz of energy, but I still love him to bits. Just have to take him for big walks everyday to get rid of some of that energy. We went to the beach a couple of days ago just Junior and I, enjoyed watching the sunset along the water. Absolutely gorgeous! We went to a family bbq a couple of days ago and enjoyed chasing the kids around and vise versa, good to see he's kid friendly, he just needs to learn not to jump on them. Too cute though.

We went and saw Horrible Bosses the other night, hilarious! Definitely recommend if you haven't seen it yet.

Can you believe 11 more weeks and I've been Australia for a year already??!!! I can't!!!! It's unbelievable how the year went so quickly!!!!! I honestly don't know where the time went. But that means that our holiday is coming up soon too, also Christmas and off to a wedding end of October as well. Lots to look forward too. It's been gorgeous warm/sunny weather out for a couple of weeks now, I have a feeling it's going to be a hot summer and a scorching Christmas!

Our new home is starting to look like our home. It started feeling like our home a while back, but now that we've slowly furnished/ing it, it's starting to look like it's being lived in. Still lots to be done/want to do ie; Dining room needs to be started, office needs to be finished, walls are looking a bit bare etc etc, but all in time. I've added some photos from the first week we moved in which was back in mid-March and some photos from today. What a big difference now that I've put them together and looked at them. I can't believe the change, love it! :) Give's you all an idea of our home since none of you have seen it before. Enjoy. xxx

P.S. Don't forget that you can click on the photos to enlarge them if you need to. :)

Our little man the first weekend that we had him, 2.5 kg and 8 weeks old. So adorable and tiny!

Junior at 19 weeks old and now a whopping 10kg. He's gotten so big so fast! And still so adorable.

His favorite spot! Right over the heater and gets to watch the world go by.
