Lots to Do at the new property!









We are getting there, in the 2 months since we moved in we have got the pool (mainly) in, the builder booked for Jan to alter the master bedroom, the gorse booked to be sprayed, a new tv, new bbq and new computer- (Graeme is a happy boy after waiting several years for all those!)
The animals have settled in well, Elvis (cat) is loving not having to be locked in every night to keep him away from neighbours avaries ?!@#!!! and Shylah, although 12 years old, half blind and more than half deaf now, is very happy here now she has stopped being disorientated and walking in to the windows!!

The trip to europe is all booked too-now later in the year due to me knee but YAY..... My knee is not what it was by a long shot after my accident in Vanuatu but at least it looks better healed so heres to a healthier and less stressful 2009!!!

Our new home is in a really good spot that is so perfect for entertaining friends and family and once we get the outside tidied up and landscaped it will be great!

We had a great new years with Gary and Claire over as well- a very relaxed and civilised 4 course meal affair- lots of laughs and great company to see in 2009!

Your house is beautiful! I love that you have so much property too. It must be so peaceful. And how lucky are you to go to Europe...again! I have yet to go. But I think NZ is on my priority list : ) Wade said that if they build a new high school in Temple View for all the kids who are LDS then he'll throw his hat in the ring...of course that is YEARS down the road. And I told him we can move anywhere once Charlotte completes this oral school program. But I was SO excited that he suggested it. It still is a pie in the sky...they haven't built the school yet and it still isn't concrete. But there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi Denise, what a great record this is! I loved reading the entries and seeing all the photos. Your new property/house looks amazing. Where is it, I can't quite figure it out from the views?! It looked like you had a great time in Fiji, makes me want to go!
