Bleed it out...

A massive sorry is in order...to all my loyal readers, i apologise for taking this long to update. Much has been happening in my life and it is often difficult to steal a spare moment to write. (the only reason i think i 'sound' a tad proper here is because Pride and Prejudice is on TV while i'm writing this...Lol i'm way too easily influenced)

Well...since my last post...

- i've gotten better at my job and am settling in well in Auckland

- my mum and dad came over and i graduated

- Toby and i broke up

Now, before you start worrying, i want you to know that i'm doing okay so don't worry too much okay?! These things happen..

Anyway, work has only gotten more and more interesting which is a definate plus. My responsibilities have increased wish i dare say is a good sign of my ability? =P We are still having some teething problems at the factory so plans to launch our drinks this summer is looking a little dim...we are trying to stay as hopeful as we can though...the problem lies with the factory equipment so there's absolutely nothing we can do. Must be a reason for the setback though...all in good time...

So yeah, mum and dad arrived like a week before my grad ceremony. The ceremony was on a Friday so we drove down to Palmy on Tuesday, spent the night in Taupo and arrived in Palmy on Wednesday. Mum and dad were awesome, i was worried they wouldn't like or let me sleep at Toby's place (it was pretty hard for them to accept we were living in the same house with separate rooms like 2 years ago so i wasn't sure how they'd react this time). They were super cool and understanding so it was a huge weight off my shoulders. I had a great time, got to hang out heaps with Toby and Krystal, mum and dad got to meet Jo and Tom (Toby's mum and partner) and they got along like a house on fire...we had dinner there one night and it was loads of fun. Ceremony itself went without a hitch...i didn't trip...Phew! I decided to wear this white wraparound dress i'd bought last summer and paired it with my animal print heels. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure:





Sigh.....

I'm sorry...

I just tried writing about the break-up but ended up deleting it all..
It's all a bit too personal...
Toby and I have decided to remain good mates...that's what we've always been anyway and so i am finding it difficult to write about the break-up without unconsciously creating some sort of bias against him...
It's a lousy situation but these things happen...i'm glad he told me when he did.
I've talked the matter to death and bawled my eyes out...if you know me well, you'd know this is how i get better...i'm coping well i assure you...

Anyway, my darlings...i promise to write again soon....

Just in case i don't write in time though...Merry Christmas my lovelies..

Hugs...
