I graduate next month with a Master in Management Studies (& Sustainability).
I hope my mom will make it because she missed the last one.
It will also be my birthday, and because I was pregnant last year, I hope to have a REAL party this time round and actualy enjoy it!
AT the moment, I am part timing, 3 days at Uni - with another department. it is a temporary arrangement so far but I have applied for a job in Auckland that I am hoping to get!!!
Other than that, Gui is back into the thick of his job. Same ol' big corporation politics but he is older and wiser, so he is being a smart thinker about it. Good man. The rugby season is over, thank God, so not too many boozey nights. But two weeks ago, he went to Chris Mackey's 60th and he go so drunk he came home with a sprained ankle and he had no idea where it happened.

Tuifiti and Maeva Update
Tuifiti Sebastien
Firstly, Tuifiti is growing so so so fast I have forgotten he was a newborn not long ago.
He is now 8 months old and a very happy boy indeed.
As long as he has a full tummy, he is a happy camper, who loves to slide/glide/see around the living room, or sits in his walker and makes some noise.
He has taken to solids really well.
Last week, he started at the Babies Room at Maeva's Daycare center. He is awesome and adjusting well....very cruisy child..i think my boy is a champ already!
He is still quite tall for his age and had now got 2 new teeth growing at the bottom.
He has Gui's wiry coarse hair though, no hair product will save him in the future, haha.
Maeva Moelagi
My Maeva has been an awesome girl. She continues to suprise me everyday with things I never thought she would know, or comment on.
She loves being around her friends, Stella and at kindy - Ruby, Lucia, Shreia.
Her favourite hobbies at the moment is of course, the barbies and telling stories, role playing and having books read to her.
Her teachers tell me she is a very considerate girl and helpful around kindy. Last week she asked me to help her draw a picture for a man coming to her class, I found out, it is Craig Smith the author of Wonky Donkey and WillowBee. Her teachers were so impressed because they never asked her to do this.
She adores her brother and takes ownership of him, and his problems when we are not there. When he cries, she goes to him and tries to help, by giving him his soother, or a toy, or sings to him, and when he is unhappy, she throws her hands up in protest and goes, "Argh! What do you want!!! Stop crying!" and storms off.
She's a real go getter at the moment. I ask her to get this, that, whatever and she is doing it. Makuai lelei a le fai feau a le aunky!
I am so very proud of my wee people and love them to bits!

Since being back from France
It's been a while since I updated...we got back from France and it was all go for the Fale Del amour.
We had 2 weeks to settle before the chaos of the Rugby World Cup, games, visitors and being back at work, daycare etc.
We had a bit of a shock with the cold. It was cold. We had become so acclimatised to the European sunshine. As a result, my big aim upon arrival was to get the hell out of this hole called Htown.
I hated everything about this place. What were we doing here anyway? We could be around family and in a warmer place.
I hated relying on the heat pump and putting on layers.
Yes, I was truly suffering the holiday blues.
But it became more than that, I decided the next job I was getting will NOT be here, I will look for a job ANYWHERE ELSE but here.
Having 2 little ones, a job and trying to have a life does not work at the moment because we are on our own, I am going to change that. Feck it, we're gettin' out of here.
