Graduation Baby!

There are a few things in a man's life where he feels accomplished.  Being married, having a child and for me graduating comes in the top 5.  Besides being number 500 on the list of people receiving their capping and certificate, it was a awesome occasion.  You felt not in a bad way a class above the common people.  You were praised for your achievements and felt highly of yourself.  I went through uni with some original friends and we stayed together for the 3 years and some helped me a great deal.  The day was fantastic because they were a part of it and had been through it with you.  It was a day to remember and glad my family was there to celebrate it with me.  Kia ora Koutou.

Give me an apple!!!

Now I loved windows (key word loved) I was a die hard fan.  I thought to myself when I used apple "ohhh this is frustrating and not as good as windows".  As you can see where I am going I folded like origami.  I was forced into using it last year for my placement as school and thats where is began.  First I received An apple laptop for my school work.  Then they offered an Ipod Touch I was like "sure I'll have one".  Then about 2 weeks ago we brought an Imac desktop.  Every single item is awesome but I must admit the ipod is just a toy and I just use it for games and church stuff which can be really handy.  So it is convenient but not a must have item.  I found myself playing less games (windows is made for games) because all they have is chess.  Well I thought it was about time I posted something and this is a worthy post of mentioning.  My advice is how can you hate something you have only seen or played on once?  I don't see myself going back to window but I have been known crumble like the aussie netball team at the commonwealth games lol so for now apple it is.

Goood girl Gracie

Well this is our little cutie gracie.  Now I know that she doesn't really know what she is saying but its still pretty cool. 
P.s Man I love Mac's

Wooooo hold ya horse's

Annnnnnnnd, she’s off. Boy it was so quick 1 week just standing up next week she is walking all over the show. She is about 50/50 (walking/crawling) now so I guess this is where it begins. We love her so much and look forward to the good times ahead. I know everyone talks about how awesome it is having kids and now we are right in the middle of it and are experiencing the good times for ourselves. Love ya Gracie

It's a good day in the Wright household....

I had a few bad days leading up to this proud moment. Included in those bad days was a Pavlova fail moment, apparently if the egg whites get anything in it they wont whip, and so I discovered after 40mins of whipping and a electronic hand whisk that was about to blow up in my hand that something must have gotten in with the egg whites. (Side note - What did women do back in the day without electronic whisks? it would have taken forever. Mum, can you enlighten us? Jokes man jokes, she isn't that old)
After a FAB date with my hubby last night, today I was feeling pretty positive and Voila, Second attempt brought me sweet success.
Whoop whoop. Thing is I am not even a big Pavlova eater so I might not even do this again, I just needed to try it so I can claim to be able to bake a kiwi classic, and start my goal for 2011 with a bang, and that is to be more adventurous in the kitchen.
Check out the photos, I wanted to get a photo of me holding the bowl upside down, Mum taught me that you know it is whipped when you can turn it upside down and have it stay put, but being home alone made that almost impossible.

Niiiiiiiiiiccccccceeeeee

Gracie thought I was taking photos of her and was laughing in the background

Perfect!
