It's been a while since an update. So much has happened since my last post.
On Monday we attended a very sad but amazing funeral for my friend's youngest brother. He was 21 years old. The place was packed! There were young guys lining the walls all the way to the front, people crowding the foyer and even some outside. It was a stunning send off! I remember many years ago spending nights at her place and having to get her Mum to stop him annoying us. He'd grown up a lot since then. He always loved practical jokes :) I heard some funny stories during the service which really was a celebration of his life, rather than a mourning of his death. My friend was absolutely amazing and so strong during the few days beforehand. I have been totally inspired by her courage. What a remarkable young woman! I love her :)
On another note, we've changed our minds (again) about the house. At this point in time we have other priorities and if we get a house soon then great, but if not then it will happen when it happens.
We are off to Australia next Friday!! We land in Sydney at 7.30am and will spend the day, night and half of the following day with Rick and Shani. I hope we get to see Dave's cousin in that first little while too. She had a baby on Saturday and I can't wait to have cuddles! We're heading to Brisbane on the Saturday afternoon to have a BBQ at my sister's place and crashing there for the night. She has exciting plans for us on the Sunday and we're spending Sunday evening with Muz - a good friend of Dave's and ex flatmate of ours :) On the Monday Dave's going to have 'boy time' and I'm going for a ride with my friend who lives over there. We're also going to catch up with another cousin of Dave's while we're over there before heading back to Sydney on the Tuesday to chill with Rick and Shani for the rest of the week.
We are so excited now! Can hardly wait to see everyone!! :)
9 days to go!!!
