My Weekend

I’ve been told that I should probably write more if I expect other people to write all the time =)

Sunday was Mothers Day! Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers, I hope you had a nice relaxing one.
Jake and I had a busy weekend. Saturday morning we went shopping and picked up a few things for our mothers. We also bought some flowers for Jake's friends mother as Matt lives in Wagga and wasn’t able to get anything. After taking our shopping home Jake and I went to visit Matt's mum. Jake grew up with Judy basically being a second mum. It was nice to sit and chat for a while and I got to play with Matt’s niece and nephew who took to me surprisingly fast. The rest of the day was spent cleaning and relaxing as well as visiting my April who’s just had her first baby! A boy named Lukas William Peter (insert last name here).
Sunday we woke up and went to the Baby Blessing of our newest nephew, Xavier Iain. After was a BBQ party at Ruth’s where I ate a lot of food. I love Mums potato salad.
After stuffing my face Jake and I then returned home to organise dinner for Jake's mother. I cooked an Apricot Chicken Curry. Nothing special as I cooked a packet mix but I believe Jo liked it.

I’ve been just over a week back in Adelaide and I miss Perth. I left Adelaide with nice weather and brown lawns and when I return it’s freezing cold and there’s grass in places that there never was before. I’m glad to be back with Jake though. I missed him IMMENSELY!

I think that’s probably all I’ll write for now. Some is better then none!

Hope you’re all well and I miss those of you in Perth/Karratha!

Love Tammy and her wonderful Jake.

Hello! *waves*

Morning all! It’s been a while but I’ve decided that it’s about time I update my blog. Yes, I am alive =)

So this last weekend I was actually in Sydney. I had a friend who had to go over for work and she invited me over. I was rather surprised when Jake said I could go.

During my time there I went to a few different places. I visited the Australian Museum, the Blue Mountains and the Sydney Aquarium. I also did a fair amount of shopping through the city areas. It was great! We stayed in the city area so I was close to Hyde Park and the Harbour Bridge. .. Surprisingly I only actually saw the bridge once during my trip. I even caught a ferry and went straight under it! Unfortunately though I’d already spent the day in the Blue Mountains, taking sooo many pictures that by the time I got to the Bridge my camera battery was completely dead. I did manage to get a couple of photos from a distance but that’s about it.

I really loved it there! It could never take the place of Perth (too dirty) but for a holiday it is a lovely place to visit. I wish I had more time over there to go shopping. If I ever go again I’ll be definitely planning things differently, not that my trip was actually planned =p

I’ve made it a goal to visit all the Capital cities of Australia. .. While I did go to some of these places as a child I’ve decided to not count them as I didn’t experience them as an adult. So far I’ve been to Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane (if only for a couple of hours) and Sydney. My next holiday, after visiting Perth next month, will be to Hobart. Jake has decided that he’d like to visit there. Apart from Hobart I’ve only got two more cities to visit. Darwin and Canberra =)

I may not be able to live my goal however. Jake doesn’t want to visit Darwin and has given me a choice. Darwin or England. I’ll let you guess which one you think I’d choose. ..

So apart from going to Sydney I’ve not done anything really noteworthy lately. .. I’ve almost finished a new series I’ve been reading. Jake and I picked it up at the shops. They had a ‘3 for 2’ sale and we bought some. It’s turned out to be rather good in my opinion.

Kirsty – I have such a big list of great books that I’d recommend you. I love books! I’ll probably write you a blog about all the wonderful books I’ve read and their history in relation to me.

I guess I should put it in here that Jake and I are doing well. Plans for Perth are coming along well and I can’t wait to be there! It’s only a month and a bit till I get to see my nieces and nephew over there and I’m really looking forward to it. .. Oh, and Sarah! =) Hehe.

Actually – About a month ago I did do some things that I’ll mention.
Jake and I took the two bois, Rory and Isiah, to the movies. We saw Bolt. My second time! Jake and the bois loved it and I’ll definitely be purchasing it. .. If you want to get them something for their birthday, Bolt is definitely a good option. Although you might want to check with everyone else before you do that =p
I used to take the two older bois out a lot before I got married. Every second week I’d take one of them out as a treat. I want to continue to do that although now the two girls are old enough so I’ll be taking them out also.

The girls and I had our first outing the other day. I had decided that my car needed washing and why not wash it with the girls! I picked them up in the morning and we went over Nanas to wash my car. .. It wasn’t all boring though. I did take them to Macca’s after and I also bought them a toy from the shops.

Also this month we had Sarah leave. I slept over the night before she left and went with Mum, Sarah, Natasha and the two bois to the airport. .. The night before was awesome! Sarah and I went down to the store and went crazy with ice cream and chocolate milk =) Mmmmm.

I think that’s about all I’ll write for now. I hope you enjoyed it =)

Stay safe.

Tammy – With her wonderful Jake.

Updation

Good morning to all those out there! =)

I haven't written a blog in a very long time and I think it's about time I update you lot on what's happening at the House of Lamey.

Jake and I are doing good! We went shopping this morning for some shorts for Jake. I love shopping especially when I'm shopping for Jake, with Jake =)

I'm getting really excited about my trip to Perth. We don't know yet when we're going over but hopefully we'll find out soon. This will be Jakes first trip to a major city and also his first flight on a plane. As soon as I know when we're going over I'll start planning what we'll do etc. If anyone knows any good places to go in Perth let me know! I want to make sure Jake really enjoys himself. That way he wont mind going on other holidays.

So, our life! Mostly we work and sleep although we do other stuff too. It's amazing how much time is taken up by those two things.

Jake just gave the kitty a wash. I'll see if I can get a picture of her. It's very cute!

And that's her! Being cute hehe.

Oh that's right! I haven't told you all about my Christmas! .. Well a while ago, when I started my new job the house was robbed. Not too much but they took my car, our wallets and our camera. All while we were sleeping! .. Anyway, I gave Jake a list of things that I might like for Christmas and he bought me a camera of my very own! It was a very big surprise .. But that's why I'm able to take a picture of my kitty to show you! He also got me Twilight and a watch. He's such a good husband.

Twilight is a very good book indeed. I've read the first too but I've had to take a break. I kept having nightmares about it and it was just so fantastic that I wasn't actually eating.. Just reading .. A lot =)

It's a bit difficult to write as my computer is on the floor so I think I'll stop here for now. Hopefully I'll be able to write again soon. Atleast now you know something about my life and you get to see my kitty!

Love you all, oh and - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY!

Take care xox

Tammy & her wonderful Jake.

Morning everyone!
This is just a short blog to let everyone know that Jake and I are well! We've been enjoying our life of visitors and family outings. I especially enjoy the family outings =)

Sarah slept over last night and today we're off to get our hair cut and go shopping. It will be a nice day as later today we have Jeremiah's Birthday Dinner to attend also. .. Can't wait till he sees what Uncle Bryan, Aunty Amy, Uncle Jake and I bought for him! He should love them =) I'll try and remember to take a picture to show everyone.

I guess that's all I'll write today. Hope everyone is doing well and you're all happy! Love you heaps.

Tammy

Another Day =)

Hello Everyone!
I hope you're all doing very well although by the sounds of it, you are. .. I've enjoyed reading all your posts about holidays and just the general goings on of life at home.

As you would all know from my previous blog, we're having a Biggest Loser Competition at work. We had weigh ins almost two weeks ago now and I did rather well. I lost 1.8kgs! Go me. Percentage wise I was forth on the list. .. It's rather sad actually that there's no possible way for me to win but I've enjoyed the competition all the same.

These last two weeks I believe I've been doing very well. Although I've currently not lost any weight I have in fact been doing exceptionally well in exercise and eating better. I'm blaming the added muscle for why I haven't lost anything as yet but by Wednesdays weigh in I should have lost at least a little.

These past weeks have been rather busy for me. Mainly with exercise but also with dinners and outings with friends and family. I love going to Jake's parents place! It's beautiful where they live in the country and it's nice to go there for dinner and just listen and watch all the wildlife that tends to creep up. I got to see a baby joey the other week and it's mother. I also got a nice bite from an inch ant when we went rescuing some tadpoles from the almost dried up creek.

At work I recently won a day off! Every Friday we get to go into the boardroom at 4.30 and have drinks for the last half hour of our day. We also get to spin the wheel if we're lucky enough to have our number called out or if we answer a question correctly or if we're the last left standing in a game of heads or tails. It's quite fun actually and I enjoy seeing everyone from the different buildings. But consequently, from having my number pulled out of a 'hat' I got a paid day off. I often win these things actually. I've been with the company for 7 or so months now and I've one something for everyone one of those months. Sometimes it's movie tickets or vouchers of $50 or $20. Sometimes something as little as a bag of lollies! It's very nice of the company.

This Friday Jake has a RDO from work -Rostered Day Off. I will be taking my time off then and lucky for me it also happen to fall on the day the kids have Sports Day! I intend to be a very supportive aunt wearing all four colours. Purple and blue for Rory and Isiah of the Comets and yellow and white for Ruthy of the Suns. I hope it will be enjoyable! =S hehe.

I think that's all I'll write for today. Perhaps later I'll go for a walk =) Love you all heaps!
Be safe..
Tammy

My life. .. It's not that interesting. Sorry

Jake and I just got a fancy new computer, so I am using this to write you all my first actual blog =) Sorry it's taken a while. I just can't seem to find the time to do it but now seems good.

Don't really know what to say. Nothing in my life is really that exciting that I'd need to write about it. .. Yesterday I went shopping and bought some new running shoes. They seem good so far and I'll give them a test later. I think they're rather pretty because they're green. Oh, and thank you to Nana Pilkington and Grandma Gwen as it was their money from my birthday that allowed me to get them. They're great and I sorely needed them, thanks.

Last Monday on the public holiday I organised a Breakfast BBQ for some friends. It started out that we were going to all meet at the park, but because of the weather I held it at my place. It went well and we had 9 people other then ourselves come. Considering I'd invited 11, it was a pretty good turn out. We had pancakes, bacon & eggs and toast and luckily there was plenty of food for everyone. I'd actually only decided to have it on the Saturday before and didn't find out how many numbers were coming till Sunday afternoon. It worked out in the end though and everyone said they had a great time - I got some smessage's =)

Jake and I have recently bought a scooter. I picked the grey colour as it seemed more manly then the yellow that they had on offer. He'll use it for getting to and from work as we've sold his car. We were using the one car anyway and his was just sitting on the front lawn, killing our grass. We wont be getting it though for about another 3-4 weeks, but that's ok. We will manage things till then. We have been able to pull it off so far.

Work is good. I'm enjoying it. For those that don't know I've moved from Reception to upstairs where I am now a Customer Support Officer. I find it rather fun! It's almost like being a detective. I get to work out what the customer has wrong and then fix it for them. I'm a pretty fast learner too wish is good and I'm fast with typing so there are times when I don't have anything to do. At the moment there is a competition going on at work. The Biggest Loser =) I'm in it. Now a lot of you will be thinking that I don't need to lose any weight but it's not just about losing weight, it encourages people to eat healthy and exercise. Two things that I actually do need to do.
Normally when going to work I will catch the bus up to Gepps Cross. Now instead of waiting for another bus to come get me, I just walk the rest of the way to get to work. It takes me the same amount of time to walk to work that it does to wait and then catch the second bus. .. I guess I'm going to have to work something out as the weather gets hotter though. I don't want to go to work smelly.
After work sometimes I also go for a walk around the block with a friend of mine from customer support. I've only been the once so far because she's currently on holidays but I think it's nice. Not only do I get in some good time, but I help her walk also.

OH! I almost forgot! .. My car [Steven] and I were in a rear ender on Wednesday night. Both of us are fine though so no stress. It wasn't my fault either =) I was driving home from work and the cars in front of us had all stopped rather suddenly. I stopped with plenty of room but either the girly behind me wasn't paying attention or she was too close to me in the first place, she hit me. I'm very glad for my tow ball though. It saved Steven from any major damage. There are a few scratches on back paint - nothing problematic. Her car however wasn't as lucky. The bonnet was bent but the engine seemed fine.
On the way home I noticed my back was a little tight but it seems fine now. We went to the Police to report it and the doctors just in case there were any major problems but the pain seems to have gone which is a very good thing.

On Friday night Jake and I went on a double date with our friends April and David. It was a nice night so we went to the Glenelg Beach and ate ice cream. It's always good to see them. I love my April and she's pregnant! We wanted to have some babies together but we might have to wait for the next one, or depending when she has it, the one after that. Who knows.

Anyway, I guess I should tell you all that Jake and I are happy and we're doing well in our nice little house with our nice little kitten. At the moment we don't have any pictures because our Camera was stolen a while back but when we get a new one I'll post some pictures for everyone to see.

I love you family! Especially my nieces and nephews and hope you're all well! Thank you for being a part of my life. You all mean a lot to me.
