Merry Christmas Everyone!

Not the best pic of us because the lights down the side of the photo have ruined it but this is us at Michael's work's Christmas do!

I know I have been MIA again but what can I say... Life gets in the way!!

So we were apart again at Christmas but today is Boxing Day and I am home. LOL and Michael is on night shifts today and tomorrow. But all that said we have had our exchange of gifts and things are relatively back to normal.

I took a heap of pics while I was away and so they will reappear in layouts no doubt in the next week or so. I had a lovely christmas lunch with Mum and Chris and then dinner with John and Ila so I had a lovely day. I also went and saw the new warehouse for the company I used to work for and on Christmas Eve I did attend their breakfast and stayed to help out until midday. I took pics at that too LOL, off course. Like this one where chris is acting silly dressed up as a robot, yes, that's my son in the cardboard LOL.Chris has his new used car and I had a drive of it when I was home. Nice and easy enough to drive so he is pleased. Cross you fingers for him, he has his driving test in another week.

Okay so that's it for now, I'm off to make myself some dinner and then I'll get stuck into some Layouts and commenting on the sites. Have a fabulous New Year if we don't get back here before then. All the best

Tracy :)

Remember Me LOL

I know you all must think I got sucked into a black hole or something, but to tell you the truth I have just been super concentrating on the Diet Fitness and IVF this last few months. We have changed Clinics and made a lot of life changes to improve our chances of getting Preggers so I figured since we are making all these changes and sacrifices and Michael is having to work his butt off to pay for it all I guess I should give it My All. So I have. We are due to have our hopes crushed on Thursday, and if by some twist of fate I don't have a visit from the witch, (you ladies will know her as intimately as I) we are due a test on Friday. So I guess now that I have said it out loud it will all come crashing down around my ears. sigh.

Well Onto other news. As you will have seen Michael has had a few interesting events happen in his work life lately, the Presentation of the Zoll Watch you will see in a layout shortly. LOL.

I don't however, have a pic of Julia, she did get me to take a pic of her but I haven't got a copy of it from her. It's an interesting time with 2 students in the house and trying to do assignments at the same time lol.

Weight Watchers - well it's slow and steady wins the race, sigh. I have lost 7.7kg total, but it's taken me 3 months. Although I have to admit I did retain a lot of water and bloat on the drugs I was on for he IVF. I am hoping that I will be preggers and won't mind that kind of weight gain. I have come across some great recipes along the way too, guess I should think about posting them sometime LOL.

Christopher has finally bought his first car!!! So exciting and he did it all on his own. He asked Michael's Dad to check it out for him too just to make sure it wasn't a total lemon and it looks like a great deal for a first car. Here it is, lol I made him go take pics and send them to me. Kit is TerrellS Tracy's Love.

Well apart from TerrellS moving house to another state and being incomunicado, (no internet yet) I am sort of keeping updated by Doreen, I jump on and visit Doreen's blog to see how things are going for her and Her Hubby and as a bonus get an update on TerrellS too, LOL. Doreen (beachnut999) has updated her blog and changed her header I noticed today. I am enjoying catching up on their comings and goings over in the states.

Okay here are some layouts. Now I have a few I guess since I haven't been on her for a while so I probably won't put them all up, just a few hee hee.

These are layouts of Melissa and Nick's wedding. Nick took a lot of pics at our wedding. This is Tracy's love Kit by TerrellS. It just goes so well with Melissa's dress!!

And here are some pics of Hayley's Japan trip she went on with her mum. This one is at Tokyo Disneyland and the kit is by Shannon Fahrnbach, November Grab Bag.

Okay this is jut Michael after we returned from a bike ride. Just a half hour one as it started to really pour and it is so much harder to ride when you are drenched oh and when your brake is stuck in the on position LOL, that was me anyway. This is TerrellS Kit Autumn Freebie and the matts are from her corrugated set.

Okay well that's it from me, I am off to bed now, sigh, so tired lately, and no it's not a sign LOL.

Have a great day!!

It's Taz the Ambo!

Hello world, I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I just dropped by the blog to see what Tracy had been telling you and found 'Bupkiss'. The holidays are over and I'm right back into the saddle again with the same probationary partner I had before I left. Good thing I like him.

I guess Tracy will let you know what our success is with the IVF cycle that we're currently on, when we know.

I have finished my very first semester of university distance education, I'm happy with what I learnt and my results so far with the sociology course, but the emergency care of mental health,,,, it sucked. Lots of information, none of it useful to me and my job of pre-hospital care.

One really cool thing that has happened, 1st Dec last year I was doing overtime at Randwick station and we got a cardiac arrest patient back, the ZOLL company that manufacture the defibrillator that saved his life, present a watch to all such patients and I had the pleasure of making that presentation on the 16th Nov - 49 weeks to the day after I first met George. George brought his son (about my age) along and Tracy took some photos (see above) it was special. It made it into the Ambulance Service newsletter and the local scandal sheets, the newspaper photo even made it to the local hospital Accident & Emergency Dept.

Well, that's a pretty go spray from me I'll go now.

See Ya'

Wow what a week!!!

Okay so it's been an interesting few weeks around here, we are starting IVF again and currently we have a CSU student staying with us while she does 3 weeks rotation of onroad prac at Michael's Station. Her name is Julia and she is lovely!!

So Michael is on holidays for that 3 weeks and we are going to be trying to do some stuff together while he is off, even though he is still doing Uni Assignments but I think he only has one left to get done!!

So On the digiscrapping side of things I have been doing a few layouts and I think TerrellS is busy getting ready for her big move to TN. And Doreen (Beachnut999) is back from her treking with her Hubby so it is all full steam ahead for us all. Actually Doreen and I are both up for the Best Friends category LO at GoDigitalScrappbooking. So run over and vote for one of us okay!!!

So I am also doing some Layouts for Shannon Fahrnbach, she has some lovely new Papers and Elements, including Corregated Frames and Corregated Papers all with sparkly glitters in them. They are all available at Divine Digital. Ooh and she has a lovely ribbon rounds kit too!!

Below is a layout of Andrew and Raelene, friends of ours and it's a pic that was on Andrew's facebook page. I used Shannon's Corregated Glitter paper, frame, elements and ribbon rounds on this layout, they just went so well with Raelene's top!! I love this pic of them!!

Using TerrellS Paua Blues kit I did this LO of Andrew at Carlton Beach, another pic from his facebook page. Experimented a bit with chopping up the pic in this one LOL!!

Okay well I'm gonna run off now and get some more stuff done around the place before dinner and feed the dogs etc!! Have a great Day everybody!!

Hugs

Tracy
