One Year Ago

Its a few weeks late but we celebrated our first wedding anniversary on the 13th of November. It has been such an amazing year where we have both learnt a lot about ourselves, each other and how to work in an eternal relationship. We also thought up some of our favourite thinks from the last year.. In one year we have....

1. Started to save for a house
2. Finished another year of uni
3. Have yet to take a sick day at work
4. Tried over 100 recipes
5. Run around Lake Taupo
6. Got dressed up in our wedding gears again for another photo shoot almost 10 months after our wedding
7. Goodbyes to parents and hello to a new nephew!
8. And booked and all paid for a trip to the states in April of 2012

Yup its been an amazing year! We leave you with some photos. Something that we are going to do every year. When Pauly really tried to lose weight he gave up all junk food. He lives a Monday to Friday no junk food life style and allows himself a few luxury’s in the weekend. One thing he doesn’t not eat though is Fast food!! His favourite thing in the whole wide world is a McDonalds cheeseburger!! He allows himself two cheeseburgers a year. One after the Lake Taupo Run in Feb and another in November on our wedding anniversary. This is because on our wedding day we had cheeseburgers on the main table!! It may sound weird but that is just how we do!!

Do you have any anniversary traditions?

What a win!!!... oh and a birthday too!

Well the world cup came and what an event it was. The country really got behind it and really showed off what an amazing country we have. Pauly and the boys were too poor to afford All Blacks tickets so they took off to Rotorua to watch Samoa Vs Namibia. Obviously its not the most impressive game to go and watch but he can say he has now been to a world cup match. The final was crazy but the country was finally able to let go of all the pain and agony from the last 24 years as Captain Richie McCaw lifted the Web Ellis Trophy. Pauly got so nervous during the last 8 minutes of the came... he went outside for sprints. Shout out to Roon and Eth for decorating the lounge... it was blacked out!!

Also Kita celebrated her 23 Birthday with all her friends and family. We were even able to watch a highly entertain video of a family trip to Australia... Hahaha. Check out the amazing cake Lian made!

What has been your favourite birthday cake?? and also.. When have been most proud of your nation??

Where to start??

We are going to go against everything we have been taught about the blogging world and do a couple posts in the same day. The reason we haven’t been blogging as much is because Pauly told himself no blogging while exams were on. Two months and two passed exams later and blogging is back on the agenda. Where to begin is the question though.

Our friends Mandi and Tala tied the knot!! It was a beautiful wedding with a lot of laughs and good entertainment. Here are a few photos from their special day.. One thing that we always do at weddings is compare our wedding to what others do. I’m sure everyone is the same. Obviously no one can compare to the food Lian provided for ours! That’s our first comparison... Kita also loves to think of the venue and how nothing can beat that!



Question for the post is... (if your married) what is unbeatable about your wedding day??
