Of babies,blood tests and our 30th wedding anniversary


Wow! what a year and it is only 27th of February 2012

Mum and Dad have been for a 3 month long visit and it was great to hug them both again.
The opening of a new bridge at Kopu saw me meeting the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
I now have 6 grandchildren!!! With another on the way by May this year.
I will then have 6 granddaughters and 1 grandson. What a joy!!!
So much for giving up on life! ME ???? NO WAY!!!

I live in an awesome country and love everything about it. My health is really good now even though I am exceptionally active I still book myself an "off" day once in a while and no longer feel guilty when a PJ day is declared!

I am quilting, babysitting, knitting, building community and delivering meals to sick friends..... AND I LOVE IT!!!!
God has been good to me and given me a heart for those who are ill and in need of helps. I am enriched by the care I receive in return.

6 February saw my Dh and I married for 30 years. What a privilege to still have my school sweetheart by my side through all that we have been through .
On the health front... My bloods are all good and my mammograms are great!!! As for bone density scans? 100%, In fact, they are better now than when I was first diagnosed. HOW GOOD IS GOD!!!

I have been invited to resubmit my residency application in NZ and did so in November and now I wait.
Still on a work permit until next april but ever hopeful that soon I will be resident in this amazing land.

DH has entered the New Zealand Dairy Manager of the Year Competition and we are delighted to have come through the first phase of the Regionals and have now completed the 2nd phase too. AND NOW WE WAIT!!!!
9 March 2012 is the Awards dinner and we will hear how we have fared.
EXCITING! even if we do not place it has been an awesome experience for us both. Culminating in a really good celebratory awards dinner where our competitors are also honored.

Whoooooop Whoooop I am soooooo HIGH on LIFE!!!! BRING IT ON!!!
