Pressies...

On Friday night we went out to dinner with Kate and Ryan.... we had nachos - so delicious!! I was SO full after that - too full BUT it was still so good! Afterwards we went back to Ryan's place cause he wanted mike to shave his head... anyway last week he told me he has a present for me and I was intrigued - he said he bought it for himself but it doesn't fit him. I was tooo confused and tried to guess everything but never got it right! Turns out this was my pressie -

i LOVE them!!!

He has also been ordering things from e-bay for us for our birthdays and christmas to just get a head start on present shopping but he couldn't wait to give them to us so he gave us all our pressies on Friday. Hee Hee, back to the shopping list now!!

A pooh bear ornament for my christmas tree this year - now I have to wait 5 months to use it!! So cool...

 And some awesome super hero figures for mikes desk at work!

Don't you just love pressies??

Beautifull gift....

I got this lovely gift from Tenielle, I met her at gym - she takes the one class I do (she is a fire cracker when it comes to fitness!!) and we have become such lovely friends!!
For our anniversary she popped into my work and dropped off this present!

 A gorgeous letter, home made muffins with words sticking out of them like "trust" and "love" etc... all facets of marriage! I LOVE presents like these!

 Mike enjoyed them with some tea.... he said they were delicious!

Friends = love :)

10 June 2012.

10 June 2012 - 6 years after the day we stood in front of all our friends and family and pledge our love to each other... a very special day, a very special memory and a very special feeling of accomplishment! As the years go by and things just keep getting better we just smile to ourselves and sigh!! Sunday came way too quickly after a lovely two nights away...
Some morning kisses :)

 Breakfast in the beautiful sunshine again... we are creatures of habit so we chose the same table we sat at the day before!!

Some more pictures in the garden with the sun just in the right place!!

 We walked around a bit and took some photos of the place where we stayed - Jock followed us everywhere, he really is a cute little mutt!!

 Some sillyness!

 Poor Jock - missed us when we left!

We saw there was a craft market on Sunday we so popped into Howick on our way to mikes surprise and did a bit of browsing - the sun was shining BUT the wind was freezing!

 I found this really cool coffee pot - I have a teapot just like this but I have been wanting a taller one for ages!! Yayayay - I was excited by this treasure!

Also got some gifts and snacks!

 Mike saw these awesome cars...

 We then popped into a second hand book store and I found something that made my heart stop - some old "Famous Five" books.... 9 in total and I want them ALL!! They are quite pricey so I have to save up a bit to buy them BUT I have to have them..... they are just like I remember reading them when I was little!

 I also want this one!!!

I had a surprise planned for mike - I organized a private picnic to be set up for us and catered for... When we got engaged I planned a picnic for us to celebrate so this was just a reminder of that!!

It was so lovely.... set up just of us!! In a nice remote corner of a beautiful
farmey area!!

Now it was really chilly!! The wind was COLD!!!!!

We cuddled under a blanket all afternoon!!

Our basket was packed with delicious treats.... YUMMMMMY!!

Our menu... so many choices!!

 Hee hee, some sillyness!

 This was coronation chicken..... chicken with nuts and grapes... SO good!!

 Mike read my book to me most of the afternoon as is our tradition - my heart just melts when he reads to me... poor guy has to read his wife bed time stories - no jokes! Enid Blyton is part of our bedtime routine!!

 Salad and fresh bread...

 We ordered coffee and tea from the TRUTH cafe and they brought it down to us!

We then headed home to fetch our pups from their grandparents..... we loved our time away but always miss home!!! 7 years here we come!!!

Saterday -weekend away!

Saturday came and started off with tears again... BUT good tears!! Mike could NOT wait till Sunday to give me my anniversary present so he gave it to me on Saturday... now you just have to know that I LOVE children's book - LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!! My favorites are "the faraway tree", "the wishing chair", "the famous 5" and any and all Winnie the pooh!! - mike reads these to me and it just makes my heart so happy... coming back to my present - Mike wrote me a children's book all about our doggies!!!!

THE BIG ADVENTURES OF TINY TIMMY AND HUMBLE HOLLY!!! I was totally floored and my heart nearly burst!!! It is the most amazing story I have ever read.... beautiful!! If you would like a copy just drop me a comment with your email address and I will happily send it!! I am desperate to get this book properly bound so its a proper little book so yay, that something to look forward to!!!
I cant stop raving about it and giving it to all my friends - Mike wrote it beautifully!!

Luckily we had some time before brekkies to read it a bit - I was hooked!!

 Mike chilling.... just staring at me as I read and laughed and commented on his work!

After 6 years of marriage life is SO good!!

 There were these cute scotties there too that we took a liking to us - his name is Jock and his sister is Jude! I fell in love with this little guy!!

A cuddle or two on our way to breakfast...

 This was the pool that we could see from our breakfast nook...

 and the pool house - so so pretty!!!

The veranda where we had our breakfast, basking in the lovely warm sunlight!! Pure bliss!

 The dining room was very pretty... and I REALLY want a jug like this!!

 Coffee = GOOOD!!

 I had a smoothie starter, it was fresh and delicious!!

Mike had the oatmeal and that too was creamy and delicious!!

 Then a cooked breakfast.... this kept us full till dinner!!

 We took a picture like this a few years ago on our anniversary and now its a tradition.... we always try get a good one!!! Its our thing :)

 After breakfast we went into Howick and looked at some stalls and antique stores!

 Us at Howick falls!

Another garden pic!

 We lazed around in the pool house and read!!

 We also had an afternoon nap in our warm cosy bed - fell asleep watching "new girl" my new favorite series!!

 Hee hee, check out Jock just staring at us - he followed us around all over when we went for our walk!

 They give you your menu and in this little hatch and you choose what you want.... they collect it early morning so when we arrive for brekkies its all sorted!

 Jock walked with us all over...

 and then he photo bombed us :):)

We had a nice warm night in... what a lovely day!!!
