Raining cats and dogs here for a change. Weather looks to be pretty close to Dublin's at the moment. Couple of new houses coming up that have potential so will hopefully have a new place soon. We went and saw Star Wars: The Clone Wars last night. It was a great movie and good for some laughs. Apart from that it's been lots of Olympics on the TV. Apparently if you're an Aussie swimmer and get a silver medal, there is something wrong with you.Saturday, August 16, 2008
One ring to rule them all!
Hello, so here it is the photo of my engagement ring (or should I say our ring), anyway here it is we picked it up during the week and I've been getting used to wearing it! We haven't been up to much this week just hanging out. We still have no new house but I'll keep you posted!

Dum dum de dum
Hey,
So we've set a date! It's all set! Brad and I will be signing all the papers and legally married on January 9th 2009! So those here in Australia keep the date free and everyone in Ireland check out the blog the day before and after and we'll post some photos here!
On another note we have to move out of the house here cause the landlord is selling but we hope to find something soon in the same area! We're doing fine though except Brad is a little under the weather with a cold (the cat keeps jumping everytime he sneezes! it's so funny). That's all the news so far, keep in touch

Zorb II: The Zorb strikes back
Kia Ora!! Or hello! How is everyone?! You'll all have to start leaving messages on this! So Brad and I are back from New Zealand as you may know we had to go there to sort out my visa but its all done now and I'm ready to start the job hunting!
We had a great time. Our hotel was lovely and very central and despite the horrible weather (two storms hit Auckland while we were there) we managed to have a great time. We visited Kelly Tarltons and saw the Sharks being fed. We took a fantastic day trip to Waitomo to see the glow worm caves (www.waitomo.com/waitomo-glowworm-caves.aspx) and continued on the same day to Rotorua to do some zorbing! We also went to a geothermal park and saw a Maori cultural show.
After the visa got sorted we also had a go at the Skywalk at the top of the Auckland Sky Tower 192m up! www.skywalk.co.nz/ This was excellent but slightly scary as the wind was very strong from the storms and I did feel like I was going to be blown off the tower! All in all it was a great trip.
NZ was loads of fun and it barely felt like we were out of Australia. I can see why a lot of people refer to it as the 8th State. Zorbing was loads of fun and the Sky Walk was a little scary but really exciting.
The Chicken Cordon Bleu was an absolute credit to the airline.

Wicked Birthday!
It's my Birthday!!! Last night Brad took me to see Wicked! It's the story about the wicked witch of the west from the wizard of Oz. We liked it, is very witty and the music is good. I got a lovely birthday card from Brad's mum Helen (Thanks Helen) and Brad gave me a card and a very snazzy i-pod touch! I have to work out how to use it now! Spoke to my mum and Gem this morning on Skype. They were on to wish me a happy birthday. We are heading out to dinner tonight and its been a nice birthday so far!
I particularly liked the small touches on the show, like the street lights out front of the theatre that were all green and the drink glasses that had green lights built in.
This morning was a dipped theme lunch/late breakfast consisting of potato wedges, pita bread and various flavour dips. This was followed by more pavlova than we could possibly eat. This evening will be some fine quality oriental dining at Silks in the city.

Hey all!
So I have a bit of news for anyone who's keeping up with the blog, Brad and I are going to New Zealand. We're heading on the 28th till the 1st of August so I can sort out my visa (fingers crossed). Anyway we are looking forward to it, it will be a nice holiday and Brad has never been to New Zealand. We are staying in Auckland but we'll make the most of it by doing a few tours outside of the city. We've even booked a 4 star hotel!
I've also got some other news. Brad has gotten tickets to see Wicked! for my birthday. We're going on thursday and I'm so excited! I can't wait to see it! I hear its booked out on Broadway so I hope the Melbourne show will be just as good. I'll post a message after we've seen it!
Love Aimee

Just arrived (sort of)
Hello all!!
So I arrived safe as you may have guessed!! I am doing fine. Getting over my jet-lag! Its hard work though. Brad and I have been getting used to one another again! We went to visit his mum Helen at the weekend (It was her birthday) and we went out with his family for dinner. It was great they make me feel so welcome! And other than that Brad has been letting me "play house" by getting little things to make it feel more like our home and not just his. Still no word on the visa for those who want to know. And I got a new number but I sent it to most people so if you don't have it ask. Anyway thats all for now. We went to see Hancock earlier its good go see it!
Missing you all lots
