Enjoy!

Caro's Big Day has finished =)

*Sighs*

Yesterday was Caz & Rob's Wedding. 7months in the making and it went down without a hitch! The morning getting ready was pretty boring, but the outcome was great! Caz looking positively stunning!

Linda Truong was the wedding photographer and she was really fun to work with, we kept laughing at her because she was just so funny!

We were spot on time (not fashionably late!) to the church, and even had to church the streets several times. I felt like I was going to fall over down the aisle and wanted to just get to the end so I could turn around and look at her.

And so I did. And I started bawling my eyes out, she was just so beautiful and I was so happy and proud of her! Next thing I knew, she was at the front of the church, and she laughed when she saw me crying =P

The music was amAzing (go the Penno A Team!), the best wedding music I have ever heard!

But next thing I knew - everything was over and we were having afternoon tea in the hall. I made sure Caz was hydrated and fed and then went to go talk to others.

Then we went to go take photos at Wahroonga Park and at Loreto Normanhurst. It got very cold, the girls were freezing and the boys were happily warm in their suits.

We drove to the reception place and sat and waited for guests to arrive in the next room.We waited in a big room, which only had 2 sofas and a table.. nothing else. The boys were tired and tried to have a bit of a snooze. Then we were introduced couple by couple (my partner's name is Xander - or Alexander), and it was fun walking in to everyone clapping.

We sat and had our entree on the Bridal table (it was one long table, so it was awkward trying to speak to the groomsmen.) Food was good, and it was nice being able to talk to other people from church in between meals.

Before I knew it, it was speech time - I was really nervous giving my speech, and I started to lose my place right at the end, but people laughed and Caz liked it, so all is good.

My one last big role was joining in on the dance floor during the bridal waltz to dance with Xander - which was just hilarious and tonnes of fun because one of us kept missing a step, or the coupes kept bumping into each other. Xander and I were very glad to stop waltzing and just dance side to side!

Soon after was the bouquet toss - which was a lovely surprise for everyone (I dragged in all the single/ non-married church girls) and I kept being pushed to the front! So when Caz threw the posey, it scattered and all the girls got one!

The photographer found out that I was single and started poking and prodding, asking me what type of boys I like - she wants to set me up with her best friend =P

Caz and Rob left soon after, and so I left with Caz' parents and slept in Caz' old bed for the night.

What a day, I'm so happy for her - it was a beautiful wedding and I can't wait to see the official photos! But here is one I took when we were waiting at the reception.

Been a long time...

So - been a while since I last blogged. Not much has been happening.I've officially finished 2months at Eye Associates! Still learning stuff, though learning curve has plateaued muchly. Staff are really wonderful and I enjoy going to work! The days are either really busy or really quiet - and because I don't like to stay stationary for too long, it's always a challenge on the quiet days. I don't mind filing though, so long as I'm kept relatively busy!

Because of the numerous staff (with many receptionists, doctors and orthoptists), it feels as though every week it's been someone's birthday and hence cake! I always feel like a huge glutton at work now... For the past 8 weeks, 7/8 of the time we've had cake! Gah, I'm expecting to become fat one of these days!

Switch has been pretty good, I haven't been getting there too late - which has been a relief! It's been a bit of a struggle with my girls though - they don't seem to like thinking outside the box anymore... so a simple question will take ages to answer because it's not a "comprehension" question.

I went to Equip yesterday which was good! I've never read the book of Esther before and have decided it's a very awesome book to see how God works behind-the-scenes and things will work out to His end no matter what. God's sovereignty is definitely a wonderful thing!

New news though - I've got myself 50% of a car! LOL.. sounds weird. I've paid for 1/2 of it, it's still registered under my cousins name - and I'll pay for the rest of it when his parents come over from HK for a short holiday and it'll be officially mine when he moves back to HK at the end of June.

Here is a photo of what it'll look like - but with a serious set of rims... (No - I don't really like the colour, it kind of makes me want to cry when I see it... haha.. nah, not that bad, but it makes me feel better that I can't see the colour when I'm actually driving it!)

Until next time.... I'll prob post a proper photo when it's actually mine!

And it was a good start.

Had my first day at Eye Associates today and really enjoyed myself! The morning was a complete over-load of information as they taught me how to use the computer program/ server and formatting so that the Dr's are happy. Totally not used to using a computer to record results, but it's growing on me =)

I was taught how to use 2 new machines.. always fun! The other workers are heaps nice and so willing to help! Everyone introduced themselves to me, and I was already known before I started. I entered the clinic to one of the orthoptists asking "Are you Clarinda?"

The doctors seem really nice too and at the end of the day, the acting head orthoptist said I did well and the Dr's haven't said anything - which is a good sign! Apparently they're very quick to pick up on mistakes and can get very pedantic! So Phew!

So yes, I enjoy the clinic (despite developing blisters on my feet - stupid shoes). And now I'm very tired... Despite everyone thinking I'd be hammered earlier. Early night for me tonight!
