Fun Wedding on the Weekend!

Hi there all!

I hope there are still a few of you still reading! I know it's been a while but I'm trying to get back into doing this every week if possible!!

So Andy's friend Simon got married this weekend to his high school sweetheart, Bethan! Pictures to be found here...

They had been together for 7 years, and last year while backpacking around Europe, Simon asked her to marry him when they were at the Eifel Tower!! So cute! So this weekend they were supposed to have their wedding on Shelly Beach in Manly (about 35 minutes from Andy's). The sad news was that it was crap weather so we had to have it inside:-( Regardless....it was an AWESOME time! They looked so happy and the ceremony was actually cool! The minister was very funny and he made it so personable. It was very nice! Then, since the wedding was at 7:30am we had a breakfast reception! It was soooo good! We had eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, hash browns, danish, croisants, and of course champagne with orange juice or guava juice! Needless to say, it was AMAZING! Then there were speeches, cake, etc. Then the bride and groom left about 2:30pm to head to their hotel where they were just going to chill before they left for their honeymoon sunday morning. They were heading to Hamilton Island, not that I have any clue where that is or how nice it is! But i've heard its great! So...after they left, we went down to the pub that was part of the place where the wedding and reception were held. We got lots of drinks, played the poker machines (ps i won $105!!!! it was so exciting!!) Then we headed to Manly to the pub, but there was no one there seeing as it was only 7pm! By that time we were all pretty drunk though! Just since we'd been drinking since 10am! So then we got a ride home to a pub near Andy and everyone elses, but again, it was only 9pm so no one was there! So we got a kebab and went home! So we were home about 10! It was a great time though! Sunday we just got up and went to Hornsby (where I lived the first time I was here) to the shopping centre to get some things, then came back and had a BBQ and watched the cricket with the boys. All in all, it was a great weekend!
Now, its back to school this week and work! It's ok though because Im not that stressed any more with the papers! They all got handed in thank god! But now i have to worry about group projects which are the worst because no one lives near each other of course! AHHH! I miss the Marist campus!
Anyway, Im off to my apartment because I need to go for a run! I'm not feeling very skinny lately! But I've put some pics on here, and go to my website and see the rest. PS these are not my pics, they are andy's friend Mike's. (I got some developed but they weren't on disc so I couldn't bring them to put online:-( But these are good too!
love you all! talk to you next week!

Go the Tigers!!

So this past weekend Andy's friends Mik and Pete had a party for the Grand Final of the Rugby! It was the Tigers v. the Cowboys! Andy and most everyone was going for the Tigers! I took photos but sadly they are on a diposable camera:-( I had to send my camera home to have my dad take it back to Best Buy...piece of crap! Oh well...they have to give me a new one if they can't fix it which is sweet!
So anyway, we went to a soccer game on Friday! It was fun..although the team we were cheering on lost! GEEZ! Then saturday we spent most of the day getting Andy's suit for the wedding thats this saturday! It's his friend Simon and Bethan--it's on the beach at 7:30am!!! Don't know how cute I'm going to look that early! Oh well...I'll try! So we were out getting that, then we had to go to the equivalent of Home Depot (called Bunnings) so Andy could look for a tap to put on his beer helmet! Bit too much of a drinker at times! No luck with the tap, but he did drool over the socket sets for about 20 minutes! We went to see Dukes of Hazzard so he is now obsessed with anything to do with cars! Crazy kid!
SO we tried to get some school work done later saturday, then went to Mik and Petes house to play poker. Now those of you who know my card skills know that the extent of my skills is Golf, Queens, Goldfish, and War! I really have no capacity for these things! But I learned and thank god Andy won! So I didn't have to pay him! But he won $100! Which was used on the party the next day anyway!
SO we slept over at their house that night, woke up, went to Andy's house for about 2 hours to shower, and went back to their house for the party! The boys were drinking at noon! EWWW! I was hitting the Diet Cokes pretty hard til about 4! Then people started getting crazy...playing power hour..which they call 100 shots in a 100 minutes! There was puking over the balcony, Andy was puking in the toilet at one point which was fun! Not for me though! I knew I'd be hideous if I attempted the challenge!
SO yeah....all in all...fun fun fun weekend! I'm going to be writing a lot about what Im doing now since Dad yelled at me for not putting more on the blog!! haha
so love you all! Welcome home to Matthew Abbott! He's coming home thursday as per Ashley!
talk soon!
MUAH!
