where do i start...

As you may have noticed we haven't updated our blog in a VERY long time.. It was a mixture of things but lets just blame it on work. For 6 weeks it was FULL on.. 6 days on with sunday off (YAY!).. and everyone knows that you don't do anything on sundays. The six weeks came to an end and so much time had passed i didn't know where to start. I was, in fewer words.. overwhelmed. So I'm just going to take it as it comes and just write what comes to mind at the same time trying to keep a correct timeline of events.

So i am working back out at Woodside on the Gas Plant which is always awesome, it comes my mind busy and me out of micks hair on his days off.

This is where i spend majority of my time.. this isn't my picture i would like to add. being a gas plant i can't take a camera or my phone on site so i google imaged this one.. At night this place lights up like christmas tree.. its Karratha's version of city lights. I think its spectacular.

Mick is still loving his job. He is in the process of getting passed out of his traineeship which is an exciting time... ill have more on that when it develops.

Last month we were very lucky to have Mick's parents stay with us and it was nothing short of AMAZING! Mick hadn't seen them in over a year and although he wouldn't say it out loud he was extremely anxious to see them. With not much to do we didnt really have anything planned. i think we just really wanted to show them what we get upto on a daily basis... Where we worked, liked to eat out, favourite places to drive, meet honey, the tv shows we enjoy watching..that kind of thing. 

They were here for a week and it was the best week we have had in a long time. At night we would sit on the couch and just talk like we did back in Sydney. Adrian ate grapefruit (we had a grapefruit tree ?? :s) off our tree out the back most mornings and Maree chilled out inside, catching up on movies. The weather is lovely this time of year.. this year in particular has been exceptionally cold and yet Maree thought it was hot.. hrrrmmmm i wonder how she would do in a karratha summer, not well I'm guessing. 

 Mick was able to take them on the tour of the town.. taking them on some of his favourite 4WD tracks. We went out to lunch at Point Samson, by the beach.. it was quite a lovely day. My Dad treated them to a night under the stars.. around a fire with cooked stew and camp fire scones.. Maree was dubbed the name princess at the beginning of the night but a few hours in she was munching on a scone and stoking the fire with a stick she had found. We exchanged stories had a few laughs and not once did we look at our phones... apart from taking a few happy snaps to send back to the family in sydney.
 

I enjoyed having them even though i wished it was for longer.. they make mick so happy, it is exactly what he needed, what we both needed. A cuddle from mum and a long chat with dad. Come back soon!!
