May Celebrations!

Just another quick update on how things are going in our lives!

Fifth Wedding Anniversary

My how time flies! Vaughn and I celebrated our 5^th wedding anniversary on 11^th May. He made a delicious lamb roast for me, which had a beautiful aroma as I walked in the door after coming home from work! One of Vaughn’s signature dishes is beef or lamb roast and I wasn’t disappointed when I took my first bite!

After dinner, we had an easy night in front of the TV, watching my favourite movie, “The Notebook”. If you haven’t seen it, gotta watch it – a real tear jerker, but even guys have commented about how good it is!

Visit to Melbourne

Vaughn and I had a wonderful trip back to Melbourne, catching up with family and friends. Unfortunately, although 9 days seems a long time, when you are actually there, it goes by quickly and you realise you don’t have as much time as you thought you would! So I apologise to those I wasn’t able to catch up with. The thing that kept me busiest was organising my 30^th birthday party. I’ve attached a couple of pictures from the afternoon.

It was also wonderful to see Tess (my dog) while I was there. She now lives with Phil (older brother), but we brought her to Vaughn’s parents while we stayed there for a couple days. Here are some pictures of her! There are also some pictures of Vaughn’s dog, Angus.

Perforated Eardrum

While in Melbourne, I found out that I had been booked in for ear surgery THIS week (Wednesday, 23^rd), so that’s a little scary. I’ll be admitted tomorrow (Tuesday), so that I don’t miss an appointment with the anaesthetist… otherwise I wouldn’t have an opportunity to see him and my surgery would be cancelled. As I’m a public patient, who knows how long I would have to wait for a spot to come up again! All going well, I will be discharged on Thursday. I’ve never spent one night in hospital, let alone two, so it will be a weird experience for me. If the surgery is a success, I should start to regain my hearing over the next two months.

I’ll update you again on how the surgery goes… thanks for your prayers!
