Our HOme Sweet Home
These are some photos of our new house, which we got in July 2006.
One of the rooms in the front...
This is one of the bedrooms, very nice neighbourhood, mostly old arty farty 'mind your your business' kind of crowd and hyper lil' shites, but they've learnt to keep their distance, hehehe...jokes!!!
Another view of the house, when mom was here to sew my ofus and spend some time off from her crazy busy schedule, i miss my Mommyyyyyyy )-:
Conviniently, our jobs are both near home, both 5 minutes drive away...

I ate too many pies i guess
heheh...
nope, that's my tummy at 5 months, 1 week.
we spent the day at Waihi Beach, one of our favourite spots in New Zealand.
It is inaccessble by road, so the only people who make it there are those willing to make the 20 minute walk....only 20 minutes!!!
anyhow, just to update the familia (the internet-savy english speaking ones: meaning a handful of Gui's family and a handful from mine),...we are both getting back into work mode again after the holidays....altho we didn't really have a long holiday, as we both worked between xmas and newyears, i did it to cover others who had parties to attend to.
I guess being pregnant means everyone presumes i have no life and no plans..hehe, but its all good, as long as the moolah keeps flowing into the mortgage repayments i'll be sorted.
We stopped at Karangahake Gorge on the way to Waihi and ate Prinkles and mangoes on the river rocks., it was a wonderful refresher after the drive from Hamilton. We are making the most of the sunny weather again and trying to visit as many beaches, treks (easy ones) and other nature amusements. There are so many places we have not been to in NZ, which most locals have not even visited.
Yesterday, (first Sunday in 2007) i was meant to go to church but found out that church started early coz the aulotu will go to akld for a lotu tuufaatasi, so we opted to spend the day in town baby-shopping, we got a cot, car seat/carrier, some small necesities, but not a lot because Gui has an inkling that it'll be a boy therefore can't buy clothes that may be for a girl. Very frustrating but nevermind.
At the end of the day, my feet were in pain and i was dying to lie down. To make matters worse, it was a bloody hot day and i managed to have a minor sunstroke,...talk about self-inflicted illness a ea.
nevermind...baby is now kicking full on, all day long and at nite...my puke is poking out of my tummy even time i eat too much (which is every dinner).
Gui has been wonderful with the whole pregnancy, he's doing most of the feaus and making sure i eat a balanced diet morning, noon and night.
Lately we've been doing our walks...in fact, last week, we managed to do hour walks at the lake, river and then the beach yesterday.
i think this is the most exercise ive done in my life.
i gotta go eat, Gui's cooking spaghetti bolognaise.
my favourite for now....yummmm
