Home is where the heart is....

This is my beautiful San Diego... where I've been living for the past three and a half years. Shortly before I took these pictures I discovered that I would officially have to leave San Diego... I'm hoping I can get my heart to move with me... but I doubt it! I love you San Diego...

So much hotness I almost exploded!

As per standard with Mikala, she came up with the goods and got us all an invite to the opening of some club in San Diego! Weirdly, we all had to where white? Who cares I say! An excuse to where the white cocktail dress in my wardrobe that just sits there otherwise! To be honest if it weren't for the fact that the drinks were free and the girls were with me... I could have given the opening a miss!
Mikala, Stacy, Me and Laura (See below she has joined the new BFF crew!) Oh... and my blue shoes, which feel like a friend to me!!!

The venue...

Stacy and me... the HOTTEST mum and wife ever! When I grow up, I want to be just like her!!!

Laura and me, I now introduce Laura to everyone as the new Me with a green card, I'm doing my best to get her to be friends with all my friends so they miss me less! She's just like me but with an American accent, a job oh and permanent residency in the US (She might also be a touch funnier than I am!)... In other words she's cooler than me!

Rockin hard at the Hard Rock Hotel... San Diego

It's MY Birthday! Well... it WAS my birthday and seen as I had a feeling it might be the last birthday I had in San Diego, I decided to celebrate in Style with a suite at the Hard Rock Hotel in down town San Diego and a night with some of my best friends in the whole wide world!

Me... getting ready!

It's cocktail time!!!

The girls... Kathy, Erica, me, Reena, Mikala... it's the BFF crew!!!

The next day, a few of who stayed enjoyed the morning sun and some breakfast on the deck! Oh... BEST birthday ever! Thanks everyone :-)

Celebrating with some of America's finest...

In March I had the pleasure of joining one of my favourite people in America at his 'Commanding General Spring Officer's Dining in 2009' event! (That's a mouth full) or in short a "mess night". Shawn decided I needed a taste of a military officer's in uniform... and I have to admit when I walked into that room arm in arm with an Officer to a room full of mostly men in dress uniform, I thought I died and gone to heaven!!! On top of having one of the best night's ever, I also met a new fantastic friend Laura!

A couple enjoying a kiss whilst the frevolity in the background goes on... I was informed I should hardly touch Shawn when he is in uniform... these two didn't seem to care!

Shawn in his glorious dress uniform! Gorgeous!

A quick snapshot at the dinner table!

Laura!! The new "BFF" I haven't laughed so hard within minutes of meeting someone for years!

Couldn't have dreamed up a better night! Thanks Shawn and welcome to my world Laura!

Celebrating Julie...

A week or so ago! We celebrated the glorious occassion of Julie's 30th! She is a photographer extraodinaire and just an all round very very cool girl! see Thrive Photo to see just how rockin she is! Picture from the party fun below!

Michele and Julie! 

Erica, Me and Rachel... who knows what the heck is actually going on in this photo? Who cares... 

This is Bronston and I... He is another navy boy, who is leaving the glorious shores of San Diego for Dubai in a week from now. 

Churchward wedding... and bridesmaid fun!

Paul & Audrey's wedding was a day of fun and hilarity! There was 7 of us bridesmaids and you can see the "real" pictures at theblogisfound.com for Paul & Audrey and a few bridal party pics as well as the CRAZYBOOTH shots! Below are some randoms I took! It was, of course, once again an honor to walk down the aisle in front of one of my most special friends, Audrey! Don't ever ask me about the weird speech I did that has everyone trying to touch my boobs now!

A goodbye for now to one of America's finest...

So I've lived in San Diego for 3 years now and upon the advice of my Dad (and most other good men) I've pretty much avoided military men for the most part (excluding the odd few I meet here and there at church!) So... on the basis of a lie a few weeks back (see jumping out of planes) I ended up friends with a couple of men that have done nothing but distract me and my pals (Kylie and Cassi can vouch!) over the past six weeks! Don't worry Dad, Christian's been shipped off to Texas for at least 3 years, so you don't have to worry about me just yet, but I do know why you tell me to avoid them! 

Meet Christian Rondestvedt... it feels like I've known him for years!!! Kylie and I are fighting for his continual attention and love, and I've seriously considered asking his family to let me adopt them as my US version of my family! These people are GOOD people! 

We miss you already Christian! 

The boys, Andrew, James and Christian... down town San Diego 

Brothers (James and Christian) and mwa! 

For good measure, this is me with Christian's helmet, what self respecting Australian who meets her first American navy pilot doesn't beg for this picture! So she can send it immediatley via iphone to her friends (Cass & Kyles) to make them insanely jealous that she's at the family BBQ and they are NOT!
