My weekend was AWESOME, not to mention oh-so-romantic.

It began with a trip to the Pancake Manor with Gavin on Friday evening to celebrate the birthday of a friend of ours.  I got to meet our friends’ girlfriend and had an absolute ball.  When we first arrived we were waiting around for a while for their other friends to arrive, but unfortunately they never showed up.  While we waited we had the opportunity to talk and get to know each other better.  They must have liked me because they invited Gavin and I to stay at their place down the coast for Saturday night.  The food at the Pancake Manor was amazing, as it always is.  It’s fast becoming one of my favourite places to eat, and it’s open 24 hours!

We took our friends (their names are Jeff and Amy by the way) up on their offer to stay at their place for the night and yesterday morning we took the 2 hour drive to the border of our neighbouring state, New South Wales, where they live in Tweed Heads.  Our friend’s girlfriends’ brother was having a 50’s themed birthday party last night which we went along to as well.  I got my hair and make-up done before the party and even I thought it looked really good!  We got quite a few photos so I’ll make sure I post them too.

Today we got up and had the best breakfast; bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns, sausage.  Super greasy breakfast is always a treat.  After breakfast Jeff and Amy took us down to see the beaches near their unit.  I was in shock, the beaches are so stunningly beautiful down there and they’re only a short walk away from where Jeff and Amy live.  I’ve never seen a beach so clean, so pure.  I’d love to live in a place like that, so much so I think I will look into moving down there for a few years after I finish my university degree, or even earlier.

I started playing through the StarCraft campaigns again, in preparation for when I get to play with my brother and sister. It’s going to be so good. I hope Gavin plays it with me too, since his computer is here and everything. HINT HINT.

Right now I’m eating an interesting salad my sister made. It contains some kind of leaves, cherry tomatos, cheese and oysters.  It’s strangely delicious.

Today we had a big family barbeque.  I always love when we do because I get to see all of my siblings, nieces and nephews together in one place.  I feel bad though, because I woke up late and didn’t get to help Mum as much as I would have liked to.  She forgave me though, which was good.

The lunch was in honour of my brothers’ fiancée.  In June of this year she suffered a massive heart attack and we very nearly lost her.  It was a terrible thing for my whole family to experience.  Dad, Liam and I had to fly to Melbourne a few days after it happened (another story in itself), and unfortunately I didn’t receive as much emotional support as I should have.  Dad understood how I felt though and together we worried and missed the rest of my family until it was time to fly home.  I hope it’s not something that occurs in my family again.  Today was to show her that we appreciate her and we love her.  The neighbours also decided to stop in so our family could meet their new baby boy; today was certainly a celebration of life.

It was also a good opportunity for Gavin to meet the rest of my family.  It turned out to be a really lovely day and my siblings really seemed to like him, which makes me happy.  He’s a charming gentleman who clearly has my best interests at heart, and that seemed to really impress my brothers and sisters.  They want what’s best for me, and so do I!  I need a man who will treat me right and make me feel special.   I’m beginning to ramble, moving on…

After everyone left Gavin and I played some Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead.  My gaming friend, Hayden, asked me if I’d like to go in with them in buying a Left 4 Dead 2 four pack and someone from Pants Party asked the same of a Borderlands four pack.  I didn’t plan to buy either game for a while, but the advantage of buying games in a group is that you get them a lot cheaper.  I decided to take the opportunity; why not?  I’ve been thoroughly enjoying life lately and want to continue to do so.  Not that I need games to enjoy life, but yay for games!

Tonight Gavin and I went over to Alex and Eevari’s house, saw Alex before he went to work, then we had some dinner and played pool.  You know, I’m really not too bad at pool for someone who sucks at it. Haha.

A few people have asked me if I’m in a relationship with Gavin but the answer as of yet is no.  I am interested in Gavin and I do like him, but I’m not ready for a new relationship yet.  Four years is a long time to have been with someone and I still need some time to focus on myself.  I’m really proud of the fact that I’m mature enough to recognise the sort of position I’m in and how best to approach the future.  The near future is looking to be full of hope and happiness, something I didn’t expect quite so soon but it’s certainly a pleasant surprise.

I’ve already spoken to him about it all so it’s not like I’m announcing these sorts of things randomly in my blog!  That would be an awful thing to do, haha.

I’ll upload a couple of photos from the Barbeque today. Enjoy!
