Wedding Weekend #1

Well, yet again I have been slow to post.  But there has been a LOT happening.  Last weekend, we were in Adelaide for the lovely Beth & Andrew's wedding.  It was on Friday 18th, and was unfortunately one of the wettest days in Adelaide for many years.  It just rained & rained!!  Luckily the ceremony was in a church, not outside ... and the bride was amazingly calm about it.  She looked beautiful, the groom looked gorgeous & everyone was happy & had a fantastic time! 

There were over 200 people there, some had come from all over the world ... and it was truly a special day.  After the wedding, they had organised a few events to make our weekend a great one.  There was a BBQ at the groom's parents' house the next day, then we all went into town to a show at the Fringe Festival.  And on Sunday we all hopped on a bus they had booked & went to the Barossa Valley, for much wine tasting & even lunch at Maggie Beer's.

'Twas a great weekend indeed!  In other news, I've been offered & have accepted, a new job.  Yaaay!  I had a second interview on the Wednesday, they offered me the job on Thursday, I flew down to Adelaide that night & rang the next day (before the wedding) to accept.  So, last week I gave notice at my current job, and they were quite understanding about it.  I've really been unhappy & hating my current job & don't like the people, although I didn't tell them that.  The new job is  a fair bit more money (plus I think they also have a bit of paid maternity leave - might be needing that in the next couple of years), and it's an opportunity to be part of some exciting changes happening at that company.  I start on 21st March.
