Saturday 3 May we headed over to Tauranga for Chris and Ellie's engagement party. It was held at their place, outside, and it was freezing! Not like the warm weather we're use to in Hamilton. It was a good night, they had a good turn-out, and of course I drank too much. But it was the only way I could stay warm! Unfortunately our camera is absolute rubbish so the few photos I did take are all blurry. But here are a few anyway. Note the really cheesy one of Q and I with "L O V E" on the wall behind us.

Saturday 10 May was Cam's westie themed birthday party. It was so totally white trash - I loved it! I think that deep deep down inside I'm bit of a bogan. Perhaps it has something to do with the company my parent's kept when I was growing up! Anyway, we had a great time. I particularly enjoyed the drinking game - I don't think I can remember the last time I played drinking games!
Saturday 17 May our old flattie Sarah came to stay the night. It was sooooo good to see her again - it's been so many years since we've saw each other last I can't even remember when it was! Q being the good cook that he is cooked dinner and we sat around eating food and drinking wine. Had such a good time catching up on old times!
Friday 23 May we went to Palate for dinner with my work. It was a joint leaving/birthday dinner. One of our workmates was leaving (for a few months) to have a baby, and it was a belated birthday celebration of our practice being five years old. Originally we were supposed to go for a balloon ride (which would've been so cool!), but every time we were scheduled to go out the weather was not optimum ballooning weather. As we were getting tired of waiting and Nic was getting more and more pregnant we decided to scrap it and go out to dinner instead. The meal was fantastic, although apparently the service could have been better (I didn't notice).
The following day Chris and Ellie came over to stay the night. We spent Saturday afternoon shopping then came home to eat and drink. Once again Q cooked a yummy dinner, and sort of helped with dessert, although he got distracted so I helped Ellie finish it off. Well, kinda helped as I was quite a bit drunk so it got a bit messy. It still tasted damn good though! We also received confirmation that the next younger brother, Ben, is engaged too. To his girlfriend Keeley. Congratulations to them both.
Well that's all I have time for.
