Jess' Blog

Ok. Being newly married, I've realised that there are alot of thing our mothers/father's don't warn us about newly-married life.
For example...

[Your husband may have the occasional tendency to put in a few of your hair extensions and play air guitar like a bogan-rocker... it helps when his hair is the same colour as yours too :P ]

Or that he might freak out when he wakes up to see that married life turns his companion from this...:

[Anthony likes this pic - i don't- anyways.....]

...to this:

[Yeah... no comment haha]

I think they call it "Marriage Contentment".

As a couple we've started a tradition called "Friday Night's Date Night". It works like this: Every Friday Night we go on a Date. It keeps the romantic spark alive. For example, one friday night i organised this for Anthony:

It was a romantic dinner at home (we had Zuccini Slice) with Maison, candles, chocolate fondue strawberries, watched a movie, had a hot chocolate and went to sleep (we were haggered from a busy busy week/month!)

Will add more soon folks ;)

Ok... So the engagement party was in May. We got over 200 photos of that so i'm not gunna waste precious time trying to upload all those. Here's a couple tho:

[I was pretty much horrified when he wouldn't kiss me after the cake... and he thought that kissing my hand was good compensation... Ah men are so oblivious sometimes...]

[More presents came after this pic... Presents are STILL coming in!]

[Thank you to my Uncle Ben Terry who made this incredible cake!!]

[Guest book/ entrance to engagement party...]

There were TONS and TONS of people at our engagement party. Each person who came meant something to us in some way and it was a wonderful and very long party. Lots and lots of socialising (so much that even I got exhausted within the first hour!).
My sister Leia made an awesome, sweet, and humorous phot-slide show of Anthony and I's journey. It included funny and cute baby pics, embarrassing preteen - teen year shots and humorous captions which lead to current day pics. It was great. a crowd winner i'm sure.
For anyone who reads this who was present there that day: "THANK YOU so much for coming and THANK YOU even more for you gift/ donation!"

Ok. So next thing to blog. The Pre-Wedding and Wedding adventure...

Photos still to come ;)

Next,Post-Wedding Fiasco's.

[See next blog post]

Ok! Yes, it has been quite a long time since i last posted a blog.. But i have a few legitimate excuses...
Excuse Number One: I have moved into Launceston, into a home where there is currently only one working computer to share between about 8 people. 2 of which (myself and the other Jess) attend uni, and another does some sort of part-time study involving assignments (and therefore, the computer is on high demand by all three of us).
Excuse Number Two: I now work at Priceline Pharmacy, in the Kmart/Coles Complex.
Excuse Number Three: I've begun my 4-year long journey of study at University. I'm studying a Bachelor of Education (Primary). I love it.
Excuse Number Four: I met someone special :)
His name is Anthony Wheeler. We're engaged. We're getting married in 11 days...

I'M GETTING MARRIED!

<3

Well, there's been alot of weddings and engagements over the last 3/4 months.
One extra special wedding for me was my cousin, Brian Woodford.

Brian Woodford married Amy Hender (now Woodford) at the Adelaide Temple in the first week of 2009...

Well!
The theme for Jess' party was DISNEY, as she grew up with the disney movies.. There was a huge scramble around the op-shops, lots of mormon youth desperately trying to get an outfit going!
In the end, we borrowed the Richards clothes :P
I'm still tired... Here's some Pics:

[The party was crankin' by an hour into it and just kept going off!! It was soooooo much fun to just get out there and groove away cuz everyone else was in on it too!]

[Bek dressed up as the evil odette from swan lake and i was an extra from disney's high school musical ;) ]

New Years Eve, i arose early to pick up Jack Prebble, Danyall Richard and Luke Radosavljevic on the way to Bridport!

When we arrived in Bridport, we had a typical male lunch: CHIPS... $10 worth of chips!
Then we scrambled over rocks to find our own secluded little cove to swim and sunbake in.

We then headed down a dirty, pot-hole ridden, almost-a-4-wheel-drive-track to Adams Beach. We braved the intense winds and trecherous waves... to go fishing. It was GREAT! we bailed after about twenty minutes because it just got too cold and ridiculous.

On our way back over the large granite rocks, we saw a familiar figure heading around the other side... it was none other than Josh Polley!

So our group of 4 turned into a group of 5!
We did alot of driving along roads which my little bogged down nissan pulsar probably shouldn't have gone on, but it was all so much fun! [And my little car survived, ok!]

We did alot of this:

[Polley can fly...!]
[Polley can flip...!]

At some point Kieran Spilling joined us too... Hence why we've got some more photos
(Jack's camera died before the afternoon hardly began!)

We crashed at Collette's place, where the Polleys were staying. Got changed and then headed to the beach for a bonfire!
The bonfire was great fun! ... Until the rain came!
We bailed after a while and partied on out to the New Year at Collette's!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I have a feeling 2009 is going to be a good year...

One of my new years resolutions is to spend some more quality time with my two youngest siblings (because i haven't been able to this past year). I know it isn't new years yet but i think i have a good cause to start early :D

We went up to Liffey Falls!

I'll let the pictures tell the story...

[We're on our way...]

[Some idiots idea of "Art"... It just ruins the natural art surrounding!!]

[Jonny and Alisha were fascinated by the "fluffy green stuff" on the rocks. It was a really soft, clean moss of some sort.]

[The journey ahead]

[Jonny found as many hidy-holes as he could along the way!]


[There were so many beautiful spot along the way. Its a beautiful walk!]

[Jonny was shrieking "Look! A leaf loveheart!!"]

[Lisha found her own hole in a tree. This is her looking "tough"... She looks more like shes about to kill someone to me!]

[The log was very high and there was water underneath]

[Liffey Falls]

[The Trio at Liffey Falls]

[We found a cave!]

[Don't worry i didn't let him go too far into the dark cave...]

[We pass this on the way to/from the Liffey Falls track]
