Moving House and special days

It's been so long since I updated. Since Feb we have bought a house, flown to Melbourne, moved into the new house, spent a LOT of money doing things to the house and just this past weekend Easter.

We put an offer in on the house in early Feb that was accepted, very exciting and nervous all at the same time. With a 30 day settlement and a few paperwork hiccups with the loan docs they all arrived on the Tuesday 3 days before settlement. Thankfully ING had their shit together and it all fell into place.
The same weekend we flew to Melbourne for Raz's brothers engagement party. Had a great night, Nathan danced the night away and Raz got very tipsy and was ready to take on anyone that cared to look at him sideways. Luckily he is a happy drunk and it was all harmless fun.

We arrived back to Brisbane and immediately started moving boxes and were actually in on the 17th March. We are still unpacking boxes but we are slowly getting there. Have done 4 loads to the tip and several pickups from Freecycle.

We spent Easter weekend really concentrating on getting more unpacked so that I can spend the next 2 weeks getting the house in order for Raz's 40th Party.

Good Friday we packed a picnic and went with all the old neighbours to Wellington Point for the day. It was great except for the ant bites I got. Man they were vicious!
Easter Saturday we spent at home unpacking boxes. Nathan had his friend Katelyn over for the day. Raz and Nate went to the tip first thing in the morning and ran into Katelyn's folks there so he brought her home. She ended up staying the night and the Easter Bunny visited them both.
It was her first sleep over and aside from a few tears at 8.30 the promise of the easter bunny in the morning was enough to get her off to sleep. They all woke to a trail of eggs from the cat flap to the front entrance where the Bunny had deposited his payload. They then put some slippers on and went a huntin the backyard. Back inside for Hot Cross Buns and Chocolate for breakfast. Nathan ended up going back to their place on the Sunday which gave Raz and I more of a chance to clear the garage. Easter Monday we took a drive to Byron Bay just for a looksee. The traffic coming into BB was horrific and slow but we found out there was a blues festival on over the weekend and there were plenty of unwashed bodies there. I did see a python wrapped around a tree branch as we were crawling past which was fascinating. We just winged it and found a huge market in the heart of BB so we stopped and had a wander through. It rained on and off the entire time but we just found shelter in the coffee tents and just cruised around. Drove back to Brisbane and just cruised.
Today I dropped Nathan off at Katelyn's house and Josh off at daycare. Nathan was all geared up for a day at Australia Zoo but the plans were changed and they all went to Seaworld. Nathan LOVED it, and came home with a soft toy dolphin that when you squeeze the dorsal fin it makes dolphin squeaks and clicks and the tail moves up and down. He also bought a really funky hat.
Also tonight we got a surprise visit from Raz's cousin and our best man Ray. He stayed for tea and played with the kids. it was so good to see him. He might even be able to make it for Raz's 40th which would be awesome.

Ok so thats us for now.
At the moment I have lost 17.5kgs in 10 weeks. I know I have put a little of it back on this past week but am back into it today. I am determined to keep this up I feel so much better and all my clothes are swimming on me.

Ok so thats REALLY us for now
