I can't believe how long its been since I have written here. I missed it, but I just haven't had the time lately. Blogging has been on my to do list for almost 2 weeks. If I had thought last month was crazy this one has just blown them all away. The beginning of the Month saw Chris's Mums 60th Birthday. Thinking it was going to be a small party I offered to make the cake. I was later informed it would feed 40. The days leading up to the party I was really stressed about it. I had never made a cake that big and we really didn't even have the kitchen supplies. You think I'm kidding? We don't even electric betters, let alone two cake tins that match. Chris asked me one night what I was going to do... "Im going to go shopping for all the ingredients tomorrow, spend the next day praying it will work out and I will bake it the morning of the party.". Turns out praying does work, cause it sure wasn't my cooking skills that made it a success.
Chocolate Cake, Chocolate icing with whipped cream center and white chocolate stars. All credit for the icing goes to Chris as I cant make icing to save my life I don't know why.
The party it self was was really good. It took place in the small town where Chris's parents live about half an hour down the road. It was at the local pub in the bistro. My grandfather came up for the party but I spent most the night talking to Chris's family. Thats something Im really grateful for, Chris's family has taken me in as one of their own, which is a lot more than they have done for him. More on that later. Day after was paintball training. It was the first time I had trained in 3 months. Last time I tried I just got smacked to hell with paint and left feeling frustrated and annoyed. Jeremy took a lot of time out to work with me this time and I felt like I was actually learning something.
Please excuse my fat butt. I do not encourage these photos. Thats Jeremy in the background. Chris was taking photos. I think he is just so proud of his paintball princess.
The weekend after we moved into out new house. It was a rather big affair even though it was only two blocks away. A couple of nights before the move I lay in bed thinking, 'This is it, this is really going to be our first house'. It suddenly dawned on me just how serious Chris and My relationship is. This is nothing new for Chris but it's something Im having a little trouble living up too. We have now been in our new house for a week and a half. There wasn't nearly as many fights as I thought there would be as to the layout of the house. The ADSL line was installed on Monday and that was a big hallmark of life returning to normal. Still another week or two till the the pay t.v. is installed.
University wise this semester is in the home stretch. I submitted my last Anthropology Assignment last Thursday, International Relations on Monday, History on Wednesday and tomorrow my Final Essay is due for the semester in Australian Politics. Its been draining but I am proud that I pulled though. Saturday I start on a month long heavy study timetable in the lead up to exams.
Tomorrow I start therapy. Im really not looking forward to it but there are some answers I need, that I just cant seem to get round here. I know everyone has problems but I feel a little stuck and I just don't know how to get unstuck. I love Chris more than anything I just wish our communication was better. Anyway...
