Lifes Ups and Downs

Hey there,

I've been slack posting once again but we have been busy of late.
We had a great easter. We went camping at the dam with Kerrie and Co, Karen and Co .. plus a few others. It was a total blast and good fun getting dirty and roughing it for a few days, Mind you, its just as nice to come home and wash the dirt away then climb into your bed. We had a easter egg hunt for the kids, it was great watching a pile of kids hunting for eggs, we hid them all over the place.

We have welcomed a new family member into our family ... LACEY-ANN-GRACE. Congrats to Billy-Ruth and Co.

We had a bque here last Saturday to watch St Kilda play Carlton ... sadly Carlton lost and I found it rather depressing .. dam St Kilda. We had a blast, it was great to sit back with family and friends and relax and have a few laughs.

I met the Barnes family and have offered my full support. These guys are real fighters, they have went to hell and back yet still take the time to be concerned for others, This Monday coming Shaun will be sentenced, we are all dreading it, I am hoping with all my heart that the judge considers what these 4 boys have suffered and what made Shaun take justice into his own hands. But I will update on Monday with news.

I've had another acceptance by Scrapbooking Memories from the retreat and im looking forward to seeing that layout in print, I miss my girl-friends so much !!! I can't wait to see them all again, Its so annoying that we all live so apart... thank god for forums. Kylie updated her blog last week, I wasnt expecting tears lol ... it was retreat talk, it brought back all those memories as if it was yesterday.

I have totally accepted that I have walked away from a friendship that I thought so much of. Last week I took steps to delete that person from " cyber world" and bits and peices I had of her here I threw out, just like she did to our friendship. Sadly the " cyber world" doesnt show the truth about what a person is really like, I guess you do need to be careful who you trust. I think with friendship that honesty is needed, its sad when a person can give but not take any back. This will be the last time I ever think or mention my lost friendship. But either way I thank her for the moments shared ... good and bad.

Id like to mention the Beautiful Tessa and her Husband Steve who sadly announced news of a pregnancy and sadly miscarried the baby. Tessa is one of my favorite scrap artists and this was such sad news to read. She has been in my thoughts.

Take care.

Tracey
