Happy anniversary baby

One year ago we got married! How life has changed in such a short time. We celebrated with dinner at the Lone Star, courtesy of my sister's family. It was a nice dinner, but hardly romantic. 8-) Then we went into town and were entertained watching the passers by in the Octagon, and particularly a group celebrating a 21st. The Dad was quite proud that he had been banned from three pubs at age 57. His wife was less pleased...

Today we've driven up to Naseby to say goodbye to J's folks. I had to sneak in a game of hockey before we left, and that wasn't pretty. I played like a bag full of a...holes as the expression goes. Couldn't hit, couldn't pass. And I wasn't alone either - if they'd had a goalie we would have lost the game. Anyway, one more next Sunday and that'll be the last for some time.

The inlaws are well and it was a lovely sunny afternoon. None of the goodbyes seem any more than just 'see you soon' though. What brought it all a little closer was the practice pack of our bags we performed yesterday. 20kg is not a lot when you are trying to live for a year, and there's still a lot of culling to be done.

7 more sleeps...
