"About time!" "I knew it wouldn't be to far off" and my fav " AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...." are the responses i got when telling my friends and family that JASE and I are getting MARRIED! I honestly never thought being engaged to the person you love would feel this amazing. I've had a smile on my face for days now. My cheeks are getting kinda sore for it all.
The part i don't understand is how you're meant to have everything all mapped out already. When its going to be, where its going to be, what does the ring look like, how many groomsman & bridesmaids are you having, your dress... I've been quite overwhelmed by the whole thing. Jase and i were just under the assumption that after being together for so long & being as in love as we are it was the next step to take. We didn't realise what exactly we were entering into.
So for those of you out there wondering the answers to the above questions... It will be a beach wedding in about 18 months time. That is all the hard evidence we have at the moment.
Although i have realised something we will need to start planning now!

Here's one for ya...
So, i've been told i need to update more often on this thing. Well i guess its perfect timing cause i actually have something to write about. My Best Mate...
My best mate is leaving for WA in less than a month. She is moving there for work for 2 years... Which is great for her, i am over the moon. Couldn't be happier! Ok, so that is a giant lie! I am mad & upset & angry at her for leaving me. I can't help but think she is making this selfish decision by leaving. I try to convince myself otherwise but everytime i think about it i get angry.
Now WA is only a short plane trip away, we can still see each other. But for her to leave its like me chopping off my arm & flying it to WA. Doesn't seem natural if you ask me. I'm sure you would all feel the same if you were in the same situation as me, or would you? Am i behaving like the selfish one? I feel like a total bitch for being angry at her for this. I've also noticed myself pushing her away before she leaves & making up ficticious stories in my head of reasons to hate her. This can't be healthy....
We've been friends for 20 years. We've been though everything together. We've always lived close to each other. Well until i moved but i always made a hugh effort to see her as often as i could. WA isn't a short car trip... I'm honestly not sure what i am going to do without her making trouble with me. I can't be an awesome one-some.. Doesn't even sound cool!
Not sure what else i can say. I just want her to be happy & if WA makes her happy then be it so.

I do believe its been a while since i posted anything. Well as much as i would love to tell you how exciting my life has been at the moment, i would be lying. Although i did achieve a new personal best since my last post i managed to wake up on a sunday morning after a big night still drunk! Maybe not something i should be proud of but it took me many years to reach this point.
Oh & i do now have a new addiction to Twitter... very sad, i know.
OK, well next time i will make sure i have something more interesting to check in with. But i'm currently saving to buy a house & trying to pay bills. I don't have anymore to go out & make exciting stories all the time...

Friends??
It appears that in recent times i have been less than a friend to those people that matter in my life. As it was pointed out to me i push people away for various reasons & keep those who haven't always been there for the better part.
My sincere apologies if you are reading this and you feel that you are one of those people i have let drift from my life. I am unsure as to why i do this. But i do know it doesn't make me feel like a good person.
As part of a belated new years resolution i vow to be a better friend & kinder person to those in my life who are there for me. ( add that to the list of many new years resolutions... I'm working on them )
P.S On a lighter note, i am going surfing sat! ( added that just for you Leash )

The surf...
Alicia was right... this blog is going to be mostly about Surfing. But i can't not write about it. Over the last year its became a huge part of my life.
I've always considered myself never more than average. Average at sport, average looking, average body, average personality. I never felt like i had anything going for me to set me apart from the rest. I felt like i was destined for more, but was ready to write myself off as an average achiever. Until summer of 07/08. That summer i decided to step out of my boundaries and try something new. I signed myself up for 3 surfing lessons. Thinking that i would give it crack & that like many other things i wouldn't be overly keen on the whole thing & wouldn't be any good either. So it would make it easy to never try again.
Jason was very supportive. Getting up at 8am on his weekends to drive me down to Torquay. I could of driven myself, but i guess he wanted to be there with me. Once i put the wetsuit on i wish he wasn't. If you ever want to feel the most unflattering you've ever felt, then just put one of those on. They don't hide a thing. I tried to carry my 8 foot board down to the beach, but my arms don't quite reach around, so i constantly had to stop to get a better grip.
Each lesson went for 2 hours. 2 hours of paddling, getting knocked about and swallowing more than your daily 2lt of water, just to ride the wave in to do it all over again & again. I couldn't get enough of it. I couldn't breath and i couldn't see. But i just kept on trucking. Once i caught that first wave and was standing up i knew i couldn't stop. This was my thing. This was my thing to set me apart from the rest.
I've now manage to have one of the best summers of my life. I've been maybe not as much as i can, but i'm getting there. Surfing is now slowly becoming a lifestyle choice for me. With each day passing all i can think of is the next time i go. I'm no where near the best i could be, but with more practice i will get there. I appricate the encouragement that i receive from friends when i am out there, but the pointers and tips from those that are not fellow surfers are not needed. This is my thing & as selfish as it may sound i don't want to share it with anyone else. I want to be able to achieve greatness on my board all on my own. I feel like i have finally found the one thing that is going to make me feel more than average.
Cheers
