Sim & Bek's Place

Hello all!
Sorry for not posting in a while. Quite a while actually, but rather a lot has been happening as of late. So perhaps i could put some of that into here for you all to read!

Under 40days until the wedding!!!!! Oh my goodness, not long now...things are coming along nicely, Bek and I are starting the confirmation calls and organising how it will run etc. We feel we are doing well with it all. At the moment we are happy as it could go ahead tomorrow if needed, all the main stuff is organised, all we are waiting on now is Beks dress. But besides that we are organising little things like deco, final menu and all that stuff.
We have also started packing things into boxes ready for the move! That is a bit scary, it means that soon I will be moving out! Not just staying somewhere for a few days anymore, but actually living somewhere with all my stuff there, all the time. But that is also very exciting as we can start to make ourselves a home. So thanks to Rob and Mum for finding plenty of boxes and shredded paper for us to use. The front bedroom is slowly filling up...We were also given a TV a few weeks ago which is awesome. I'm not sure how big it is, but about average i spose :o) I'm not looking forward to moving the Table Soccer downstairs though...it weighs over 60kg at the moment and probably not much less once the legs are off...but we'll work that out when we get there.

Bek and I recently had a nice weekend away at a couples course up in Marysville called ElKanah. It was absolutely beautiful up there in the hills, and we had amazing weather all weekend. They took us through many of the key areas of marriage such as finances, communication and conflict and all those kinds of things. It was very beneficial and helped us to either confirm things we had already decided, or brought up areas that needed a little more discussion. Plus there was very nice food, lots of the time, and the other couples that we met were very friendly and many were in a similar situation to us, which is encouraging when having a talk with them.

I'm also in the middle of interviews for my Industry Placement next year, a bit stressful but also relieving to know that its happening. Apparently only 9 people got selected for IP this year so I feel i've done well. The first interview was on Tuesday this week at a business called: Greater Engineering which is based in Port Melbourne. It is a small business but there seemed to be a variety of jobs that i'd be working on which is good. The other interview is on Thursday (tomorrow) and is at Expohire, a company that covers exhibitions all over the place. They help layout the spaces and provided all the equipment required. They also do a lot of the signage design aswell, so plenty of variety there. Hopefully one of them likes me, if not both cos then i can choose!
So that will mean that I would have paid work for the company several days a week for next year! Something that will be very beneficial, both in experience and income.

So yeah, a lot has been happening, there is more on top of that but i've got more things to do so i best be off to do them...!
Hope you are all well and i hope to see some of you soon!
