Easter 2009

Easter was a little different for me this year... I think I'll tell the story in pictures this time.

On Good Friday, I played for our church service, before taking off with Alicea and Louise for our trip out to Dubbo/Gilgandra for Katherine's wedding. Here we are in the car:



The normally 4.5 - 5 hour trip took us 7 hours... this is why:


The cabin in which we stayed for two nights looked like this inside:


I was blessed to be able to catch up with Jemima and Bede for a few hours! They've just moved to Dubbo, and don't have long until their 2nd baby is born... and they live in a beautiful old house:




Katherine and Joel's wedding was on Saturday. I did Alicea's hair:


Dear old Mr. M. was there too:


It was a beautiful wedding in a beautiful church, and during the signing of the register a quartet sang The Lord Bless You and Keep You from the balcony:


And it rained:


Here's a funny sign we saw in a Gilgandra service station window:


Alicea, Louise and I just before the reception:


The cake... they're both musicians - how awesome is it?!?!


Joel played his ukulele and sang a song he wrote for Katherine as part of his speech - it was so sweet:


FGYO girls:


Me, riding the hippo sculpture outside the venue:


What some girls get up to when they go away... having my hair coloured at midnight:


On our way home, we stopped at a reserve for lunch. My tomboyishness (which I hadn't seen for a while) came out in full force... up a tree:


... and swinging from the rafters of the picnic shelter:




Alicea and I... just so you can see my new brown hair:


And that's it! Today I've had a nice relaxing day... :)
