5 years tomorrow

Who would have thought it? - 5 years ago I married my beautiful man at Delamore Lodge on Auckland's Waiheke Island, and here I am happier and more in love than ever before! Isn't it strange how life works out? Okay admittedly we have been together for nearly 11 years but it just keeps getting better! (So any single girls out there reading this - rest assured there IS hope!)

It has been a great start to the New Year actually - what with the dinner at White - oh that's right was going to give it a review.... well suffice to say very glad we did not pay! Ian and I reckoned it cost over $70 for each of our food bills and the people we were with (Robert and Shelly Fulton from Mississippi) also bought three bottles of wine and each of those were over $140 each AND there was a 15% surcharge being a public holiday.

They were very nice people and the venue was of course stunning but to be honest the food was pretentious, over priced for what you got and in reality just not that good! It is also difficult when you are sitting in a highly over priced restaurant trying to make "small talk" with people who you met about 15 minutes prior.... still it WAS free and I DID get crab, scampi and creme brulee so shouldn't REALLY complain... :o)

Oh and the other great start to the New Year is that I got back to my job (no THAT was not the great thing) and discovered I had been recalled for a major advertising campaign being shot in Auckland next month. Now whilst I don't know for sure if I will land the role it is an AWESOME feeling being short-listed and makes all the auditions and everything worth it to even get this far... but will def keep you posted.

Anyway have a great weekend - I know we will - my darling and I are staying at The Langham all weekend and dinner tomorrow night at Number Five (cause it is our 5th wedding anniversary - how cute is that!) Ciao xxx
