No serious news but a bit of ramble..........
Just chugging along here counting down the weeks till Easter. It's 3 weeks tomorrow till we fly down to South Australia for some R&R. We seem to go from one trip to another......this is seriously our last one planned for a while, so unless someone decides to get married, have a baby or a big 0 birthday, we'll be sitting pretty for a while.
So......what have we been up to?
WELL, we have practicing up on our Carcasonne ready for the Rikki battle. Watch out we are out to get you. For anyone who doesn't know Carcasonne, go get it as it's fun, and absorbing for several hours. We bought one of the additions, the Princess and the Dragon, which is a MUST if you want to knock someone off (like Rikki)! Hello to Caro in Germany if you are reading my blog still........have you been playing Carcasonne lately?
Last Saturday night we had the "funnest" night at the Stillers playing the murder game.......certainly an outlet for some unspent emotion. Anisia came down also, love having her such a short distance away.
Joshua and Colby (nephews) who are now Queenslanders (YAY, some rellies have finally seen the light) came over Saturday for lunch and played Carcasonne.....they too are hooked.
School chugs along also......days are full and pass very quickly. I really enjoy my work, especially now I have aircon in my office. Kids enjoy coming to me quite freely, and I just love all the little ones (and the big ones too)!
My PhD is slowly progressing now with 2 new supervisors............have put my application in for my extension for my Confirmation Seminar. I'm still a ways off doing that though.
Kevin and I continue our nightly walks..........probably 6 out of 7 nights we go. Not Wednesdays usually because of Bible Study here. Kevin has begun a men's group the same night here, and they go downstairs. Had a good response last week at very short notice, so an obvious need is there for men to connect on a deeper level with the Scriptures. Our women's group is GREAT. I decided to do 4x6week blocks in the middle of the school terms for this year, and others have offered to lead, so I just provide the venue and refreshments. Good deal! One of my 2007 priorities second to my work is my PhD, so this is a win-win for me.
So, yes Kevin and I are getting very healthy. We have together made significant changes to our diet, which means there are a lot of things I don't need to buy anymore, just loads of fresh fruit and vegies from the Nerang markets. We don't eat pizza now, since we got a health thing in the mail from the Qld Govt which says it takes 10 hours something of doing nothing to work off 2 slices of pizza! Kevin and I are in competition on the scales. he is looking noticeably trimmer, and his BMI I believe would just now make the healthy weight range........
Enough ramble........will be seeing a number of you in person hopefully very soon.
