I can safely say this month has gone quicker than any in Fiji America or Australia. I cant believe it was a whole month ago we left deb at the airport to come home!
(This also means a whole month without blogging which is pretty shameful. Never the less I am amazed to say our page views are still steadily creeping up so we must have some pretty interesting stuff on here to keep people coming on (not sure if its family & friends out of habit or if google thinks we write good stuff!)
Well what has happened in the last blur of a month.
First few days was spent visiting family and friends, (the sad part is we still haven't seen everyone we want to! And for that we are sorry.. More on why this has happened later!)
Our first weekend home was a planned one, sort of family time when we went down to the Super Car Event as we have the past few years working and helping out supporting the childrens trust. Obviously we all had a little go in a car (Mercedes shooting break which was phenomenal for any car and especially a saloon car!) Laura was also very VERY excited to hear Myles had talked her into an Lamborghini Aventador which had taken place in the Gumball 3000 rally that year!
With that our first weekend home was over!
Monday morning came and we were all suited up for an interview.
By the end of day 1 we had jobs and were both starting the next day! Myles as a Pyrotechncian and Laura as a Web Designer. Thats when it all started to blur! Between Laura working for Force FX our new place of employment and still working for Ian it was all a lot to take on board whilst learning so much in a short space of time! Myles was equally thrown into it by being chief firer for B festival the weekend we started!
You cant say we do things by halves! Laura helped out on her first show that weekend too setting up but mainly being a photographer (which is a new skill but got a few good shots for the website and thats what counts!)
The 2 weeks after that went by without us even realising! Again another weekend where Myles was working doing the effects for the Playstation GT Academy! With Laura spending the weekend seeing her family and friends after seeing Myles' the one before. This week has been crazy! I cant believe so many things have happened in one week. Firstly Laura set up her first website on the work sever (I don't know if this sounds like a small thing or not but for her it was huge considering 3 weeks ago she had never seen how a server really works let alone work on it!) So that's pretty exciting news. On Monday Myles also picked up his second baby, his new Motorbike Flynn!
Isn't she beautiful?!
So that's pretty big that we have a bit of our own transport again! This brings us to Tuesday when Laura got the most exciting text, Ian had sold her first website to a client! (She was so over the moon!)
This firstly means money but secondly a lot more work to get it finished for the client! Which means a new laptop is needed, which requires money.. catch 22 there! Luckily working so early when we got back has paid off and research can begin!
Sad talk on Wednesday Myles bike had to go back to the dealer with an engine management light on. This has resulted in it STILL being there now! & a part being flown out from Japan specially! Luckily its still under warranty and we should have it back by Monday. They were kind enough to give him a loan bike.. It was a dirt bike!
Oh yeah we both rode this twice!
Only twice for Laura & Myles took it around the garden for fun. IT WAS BONE SHATTERING!
Thursday arrived in a blur realising that it was Andrew [Myles' brother] prom! This required logistics to get home in time as Laura had made other plans sadly not realising that it was prom day. No matter though the hottest and busiest day in the office would make this a side thought! James [our boss] very kindly gave us some confetti cannons for Andrew for a bit of fun. This wasn't just fun for Laura.
Building the website and starting the social media for the company has required a LOT of photos and some areas just didn't have enough photos. This meant that the prom had to be photographed and made a show of! Myles was sent off to schmooze with teachers and get some great event photos!
That takes us up to today really!
Here's a shot from the office playing with lasers !
So there you have it! Lots of busy time and exciting things going on for the people who never seem to stop!
Lots of love to you all x
