Study, study, study

Yep that's right I am studying this year!
I decided to do the Tertiary Preparation Program through the University of Southern Queensland.
So this semester I will be studying two subjects Studying to Succeed (which is basically English) and Maths, then next semester I will pick up General Science.
Then after passing these courses I should be able to gain a place in a Bachelor of Nursing with an extra year for a Bachelor of Midwifery.

Of course at the moment studying is taking up most of my free time which means I have very little time to scrap let alone blog about what I've scrapped.
So until the end of June layouts maybe few and far between but hopefully I will still be able to reach my goal of 365 layouts for the year. *fingers crossed*

Here is the latest layout I've done:

Well I better go and finish my assignment
Until next time

Just Call Me...

Busy Bee!

Wow it has been so long since I showed my blog some love!
Well we went to Sydney to see AC/DC Black Ice Concert.
We left home on the 19th February and drove down to Mum and Dad's where we stayed the night.
On the Saturday we got up at the ungodly hour of 2:30am and got ready to head off to Maitland to pick up my Dad then continue on to Sydney!
This would have been fine if Rhyley hadn't mucked around being silly and refusing to go to sleep until I had him in the bed with us patting him to sleep, so needless to say I got very little sleep about 2 hours if that!

Luckily I got to have a nap in the car before we swapped over so Jason could rest. We finally arrived in Maitland and got to spend some time with Mum before heading off to Sydney.
Rhyley decided he wanted to drive the rest of the way with Poppy so we followed them.
We finally arrived in Sydney and at our hotel at about 4pm!
We checked in and got changed then we caught a taxi to the train station and caught two trains to Olympic Park!

There were thousands of people there it was amazing!
We grabbed some dinner and sat down and ate after that Jason took Rhyley over to the Olympic Cauldron from the 2000 games, and is now a water feature and took some photos!
Then we headed in to ANZ Stadium the concert was AWESOME!!!! and I am by no means an AC/DC fan but it was well worth it!

After the concert we headed back to the hotel and Dad headed back to Maitland because he had to work the next day.
The next day we drove to Bondi Beach, Rhyley had been looking forward to going there for weeks before our trip away and we all had great fun!
Rhyley and Daddy went swimming then played in the sand building sand castles.
Rhyley was upset when he was told it was time to leave.

We headed home on the Monday and had an enjoyable less rushed trip back not having to worry about what time we got back to much because Rhyley was having the next off school to recover and catch up on any lost sleep.

Anyway I really must get to bed I will write tomorrow about my new University course I have started but until then I will leave you with another two pages I have done since I last posted.

Titans Visit!

Well on Monday some players from the Gold Coast Titans came to Rhyley's school to talk about the Eat Well, Play Well, Stay Well program!

Jordan Atkins, Marshall Chalk, Bodene Thompson and Clint Toopi discussed how important eating a healthy diet and play for at least 30 minutes a day is to stay well.
They also mentioned that they would be down at West End Junior Rugby League Club at 4pm that day for training session with the kids!

So after school Rhyley really wanted to go down to the club. Rhyley had a great time passing the ball to the players and charging the tackling bags!
After the training session the players signed autographs for the kids there. Rhyley got his Titans football and Daddy's Titan number plate signed plus he got photos with them all including assistant coach and football legend Trevor Gillmeister!

After the training session we headed home and Rhyley eagerly awaited Daddy's arrival home so he could telling him all about it!

So here are a couple of pages I did:

Ummm....

Wow the first week of school has already finished granted it was only a three day week but still it flew by and we are already nearing the end of Week 2!
So since school has gone back I haven't time to scrap much partly because I have been trying to go to bed early which means I'm not up 'til all hours scraping away!

Anyway today while Rhyley's was at school I had some spare time and decided to open up Photoshop Elements and get to scraping and here's the page I did.

Well until next time,

Goodbye January

Wow where did the last month go?!
Maybe it's just me but January seemed to fly by and tomorrow is February!

Well we have lots on in February. We have Rhyley's paediatrician appointment, my father in-law's birthday, my childhood best friend's 30th birthday, my brother in-law's birthday, Valentine's Day, my mum's birthday, our trip to Sydney, AC/DC concert and me finalising my University course registration!
It is going to be a full on month, February!

So today was all about chilling with Jason and Rhyley and scraping while I am not swamped with things to do.

Well here is today's layout:

Happy Weekend!

Yeah it is the weekend!
Wow this week went so quickly guess having a public holiday on Tuesday and school going back helps to speed the week up.
So tonight I check the calendar to work out how we are sitting budget wise for our trip to Sydney next month and I nearly died when I realised that it is only 3 weeks away!

Back in December when I got the tickets for the AC/DC Concert I thought it was so far away but now it seems so close!
Where did it go?
After pondering this I decided to get stuck in to some more scraping and scraped our Australia Day photos.

So here is today's layout:

Well until next time,
