Getting back

Well I've just said goodbye to Deon and Loryn a few minutes ago, and Wayne left for work this morning too. And this is the FIRST time since the 19th Dec 08 that I have had the house to myself! WHEEEEEEEEEEEE- lol. I'ts QUIET- ssshhhhhhhhhh, YUP, nothing - listen again- hear it??- SILENCE- hahaha. Oh gosh I LOVE my friends and family but sometimes I need to recharge my own batteries with SILENCE, the quiet that will let your brain just REST( my throat and mouth too-hahaha).

So today is the first day I have managed to get near the computer for more than just the *read the mail* and say a quick HI. My fingers are ITCHING to get going again - and this week will be spent doing the clean and sort too! WHOOOOOOOOOOPIE! lol (was that actually me getting excited about CLEANING- BWAHAHAHAHA- yeah, me- ooooi!)

OMG- BUNNY, I just opened a *Butterfinger* bar and am now trying to eat it SLOWLY- , IT's tooooo YUMMMMMYYYYY- mmmmmmmm, THANKS Cow (said with affection people ;-)- now I won't be able to resist trying the rest either- hahahahaha.

We've had a really CRAZY 2 weeks and I think it's going to take a while to catch up on some sleep- but I promised you some photos, so thought I would start with the Wedding on the 30th Dec ( yup a day before OLD YEARS NIGHT PARTY- ouch)

Grant and Landi have been a couple for a while and moved to Johannesburg a few months ago- She discovered she was pregnant so they came back home to have a wedding with all the family and friends ;-)

Grant and Landi just after the Wedding ceremony- it was set in a garden,

the chapel even had NO SIDES and was open to the bush and elements on either side- BEAUTIFUL!

1

Deon and I in our finery outside the chapel (sheee's Bunny and I'm still eating the chocs- lol)

3

Wayne and Ant in the garden after the Ceremony drinking cocktails while we waited for the Bride and Groom.

4

And of course it all doesn't stay soooo *posh* with us and this was taken at the reception ( Wayne trying to grab what he shouldn't in public- HAHAHAHA)

5

mmmm- no comment- LOL, I love the earrings- BWAHAHAHAH

6

lol- Deon and Roche didn't realise that Brenton was behind them - and he was quick to jump in behind people I aimed my camera at- lol

7

Yup- AGAIN- lol.

8

We had just started our Dessert and it was a chocolate mousse set in a solid chocolate cup - Roche tried to of course use her spoon to crack it as a lady would - but a piece flew off her plate and down her CLEAVAGE- ROTF, Brenton sitting next to her was so quick - he grabbed a knife and fork and said * oooh Let me cut that for you* and preceded to put a napkin in her dress at the same time - hahahahaha.

The people heard us laughing at the other end of the venue of course and we were also the last to leave! I was EXHAUSTED the next day which was also the start of the old years night party- but those photo's will come next- hahaha.

I'm glad to be getting back and can't wait to get photo shop open to start creating.

I hope you all have a stunning day and don't forget my freebie kit- FRESH POSIE

folder

You can grab it IN STORE HERE- WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Until tomorrow- Hugs and loves Kim

Oh my GOODNESS Kim, its the SAME here, Mr. Miles started school break about the same time and JUST went to work today, every day has been FULL to the rafters so my mind has been like as if it were thrown in a blender ... on HIGH (not a pretty picture, I know)

I am still trying to digest. I'm having to turn the radio to make some noise in this empty, quiet house. Time to get sorted out and caught up.

Your photos sooo funny - thx to your detailed journalling its almost like being there with you (shhh.. they will KICK US OUT, Girl!)

Kim, you look just LOVELY - nice to see some new photos of you. You are so photogenic!

Love ya,
Barbs

Bren Haas said...

HEY KIM - I am a big fan of your scrapbooking blog. I was curious to if you made that background for the personal photos you added for the blog ' Getting Back'? Did you make the rolled / tattered looking edges? Thank you for sharing your creativity on the web. I am very new to scrapbooking digitally. Stop by and see my garden in the Midwest sometime?!

Kim, Thanks for the fun on your blog and for the beautiful freebies that you give away. The little bird from you Fresh Posey kit was the perfect addition to the layout I did of my granddaughter, Anna: http://janellefam.blogspot.com/2009/01/sneaky-chef.html
