The weekend that was.... (part two)

Well I have promised to write more about my weekend that was, although after all the hype it really wasn't that exciting..

Friday

After nearly 8 months of full on netball we had our final game and then awards night on Saturday. God I'm glad that's over! By all accounts everyone had a great night so can't complain! Friday I spent all day creating, printing and laminating certificates for all winners - and yes it took all day! I think I managed maybe 5 minutes of work that day... then dropped Matt off to our 80's mid winter dinner at Kev's while I shot off to Sam's to help wrap the gifts and finalise stuff for netball.... Got back to the midwinter xmas dinner to enjoy the most divine cooked ham I have had ever.... Oh and of course the dessert! mmmmmm Also managed some 80's Music game before shooting home around 11pm to get started on some washing/packing/etc...

Her Outfit: Neon Pick 3/4 tights with Platforms, White miniskirt, neon green longsleeve top under sleevless bomber jacker. Straight blonde hair completed with neon purple eyeshadow.

His Outfit: Black Linen Jacket with rolled up sleeves, white shirt, with Jeans and white shoes, Spiked hair with Paris Hilton Sunnies. Completed with fishnet fingerless gloves.

Sorry no photo's available gosh darn it ;)

Then shot back around 2am to pick up hubby managing to get back to bed about 3ish.

Saturday

Gorgeous Day - sunshine and no wind for first day of spring. GLORIOUS.

Up early to get to the courts at 9am to watch our second Premier 1 team playoff for 5/6th top ranked Wgtn team. Lost. Not a good start to the day.

On to other games to watch everyones game and then collect all uniforms and gear bags, while also collecting in outstanding money for tickets to the function. Fun day as the club had some good wins with three teams winning their grades!

Got sunburnt cause one forgot what sunshine was like. Nice panda eyes Tarnz.

Rush home after dropping off gear to storage for shower and then beautify before heading back into town for checking setup of venue (trusted to minions - scary) and run through of awards. People start arriving then right into awards.

I like to think we have added a step up in professionalism to the club this year, I know this was a general comment from most people this year so really happy with that. God knows Sam and I have worked our BUTS of to get it there. We at least wanted to add some pride to getting awards this year - I had two girls in tears while receiving them so I'm taking that as pride! Have to say well done to Miss Molly as she received the Most Improved Mid Courter of the Year for East - no favourtism at all Manda - you were a standout in that Centre Position this year. East 7 could've stayed in that grade if you hadn't of done your ankle - you were the pivotal player for that team - oh well!!!! Shite happens....

Anyway awards went well and then it sounded like the party went just as well! Shame I had to hit the road to get to Napier pretty much immediately after the awards. On the bright side we managed to get on the way around 10.30pm so could've been worse.

Sunday

Sunday sleep in - yay! Then off to Matt's Nana's 80th... Family gathering #1. After first catch up and gathering at the house off to lunch at the Napier Golf Club. Walk in and find my work colleague who's based in Napier - can't I get away from work!!!! Thankfully I get on well with him so all good - after all you were invited to the wedding Mac....!

Several hours later we had Family Gathering #2 at my grandparents for Fathers Day. Matt's had dissipated by then so dinner with my whanau. Just quite one with good wine and a couple of drambuies that put us into bed around 8pm!!!

Monday

We took monday off just to recover from a killer few months and shot home around lunch - but ended up spending around 5hours on the road to get home! Crazy slow drivers.... So pretty much a waste of a day....

Tuesday - back to work...

Wednesday - counting down to Friday...

Thursday & Friday - waiting for Saturday to go play with puppies in Otaki. Then one week until we can pick up my puppy! yayayayayaya....

Over and out.
