2008 has already proved to be an eventful year for us, Chey started grade 2 at the beginning of the year and quickly made some new friends, we have been enjoying getting to know some new familes and I have been making some nice friends with some of the mothers which is always nice.
Chey continues to make me a proud mother as she flies through school and continues to get excellent remarks from past and present teachers - of couse, this pleases Chey no end - she has always been the type of child who would much rather do the right thing than do anything that might land her in trouble - lets just pray this behaviour continues throughout her teenage years :) Of cousre, she is very strong willed and determined (don't know where she gets that from!!?) so it is often a battle of the wills in our house hold!
Work for me has been busy, we had our company conference in the Yarra Valley at the start of Feb. This was a great time for us to get to know some of the newer people in the company from the other states and of course a time to have a few drinks and let our hair down.... being in the Yarra Valley were were a little limited as to places to go, but we certainly had a blast.
The conference went for 2 days finishing on the Saturday afternoon so Carrie, Matt and I decided to take the opportunity to stay on in Melbourne and catch up with one of my good friends Vincie and also some of Matt's mates.
As luck would have it, one of Matt's good friends was having a "house leaving" party on the Sat night so we didn't have to look any further for things to do.
After the party, which was a lot of fun, we headed back to the hotel to get some much needed sleep (we didn't get alot at the conference) before waking to a beautiful day Sunday where Vince showed us a few of the sights in ST Kilda - in all the times i have been to Melbourne, i have never ventured out of the city so it was nice to see a bit more of Melbourne and relax on the beach.
