Good times and bad...

I just had the coolest weekend, which is in very stark contrast to the week so far at work, but you get that!!

I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of my hometown friend, Claire, to Seth. I haven't been to many weddings but their's was the kind of wedding I want one day (right up to the purple and silver theme - why do so many people like purple?! It's MY Colour!! ;op )

The church was done up beautifully and it was a bonus in that I knew most of the people who attened the reception (Yes, there was a lot of catching up to do with everybody!). It was great because I got to hang out Katie, Zarna, and Deborah - all of which I haven't seen for quite a while and all of which make a fun time even better! The weather was gorgeous and it was just a great celabratory time (not sure if that's a word, but I'l use it anyway!). It was great to get to know Seth a bit better too, as well as meet his sisters. The hens/bucks night was great too - gotta love those games nights!!

The only downer about the whole thing is realising that I probably won't see Claire for an awful long time, as she is moving to the USA. Still, we will always be connected with them somehow and there's always the world of blogging to keep us informed!! But I'll miss ya Claire - games nights just aren't the same!

Saturday was a big day for our family, because then we proceded to drive all the way to Dubbo after the wedding to go to a farewell party for Liv's OPSM boss, Kristy. It was cool to meet up with Kristy's family (we are her 'other family' -She was taking my place in Parkes While I wasn't there!), but it got a little awkard at times as I'm a shy kinda person in big groups of people I don't know, and I was too tired to try and converse! I wanted to go to bed at 9:30! We were ment to stay over the night but I needed sleep coz I have to work at rediculous times now (gotta get up at 5:30am!) and the boys were watching movies on surround sound, and I'm a light sleeper, so sleep wasn't an option! Mum and liv we're slepping either so we all packed the car at 4 in the morning and drove all the way back home so we could have a few hours sleep! Would've been alright if i didn't have to drive to Bathurst in the afternoon!

Sunday afternoon was another one of those small delights as all of the visiting friends from the party got to catch up again for yet more games! I love our games get-togethers beyond all reasons! It's a great way to relax and enjoy each other's company. I miss all my out of town friends already though!

Having such fun over the weekend probably made coming back to Bathurst on sunday evening so difficult. I don't mind Bathurst but I hate being alone. I need company in the car and coming back to an empty place isn't much fun. I knew this week would be a hard week too, work wise, so I wasn't real thrilled at the prospect of facing it, but I've made it through 2 days, so only 3 to go before a day off. I can't tell you how much of a struggle work has been lately - changing to yet another facility wears you out mentally. You have to remember where you are when you answer the phone!! Anyway, it'll get better. I'm still learning little things a long the way, even if I thinnk I'm not. It's a struggle, but I'll get through it with a little determination and lotsa prayers!

Still, there's always the small pleasures in life!
