No 78 - Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge

It's been a while since I have crossed anything off my 101 in 1001 list which is a bit scary considering my deadline is in August 2012.  Only 8 months to go!!!  Corey has wanted to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge forever so I bought it for him for his birthday (the climb that is not the bridge...lol).  I was a little nervous at first but once you get through the first part where you are climbing on see through walkways it is okay.  The section you climb on is so wide and made of such thick steel that you feel pretty secure.  Here are a few photos we got from the trip.....





Apart from the first one I am pretty impressed with how these photos turned out.  They are actually printed photos that I took photos of with my iphone to be able to load them onto here.  They turned out pretty okay considering!  The originals look great and I am so happy we decided to get them all printed out.  Corey loved his birthday present and I would definitely recommend doing the climb to anyone visiting Sydney.  The view is definitely worth it!!!

Our Wedding - Ceremony

Thanks for the lovely comments on my last wedding post.  We are very happy with how all the photos have turned out.  So I figured the natural progession after the last post would be to show you the photos from the ceremony.  I have chosen a few less than last time.  Here are my favourites...

I love looking at these photos and seeing how happy everyone was. It truly was a magical day and I am so so happy with how it all turned out.  I probably won't get around to posting more photos for a few days as we are off to visit my family on the Central Coast on Boxing Day.  I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas.

I can't believe that 2011 is nearly over! This year has gone so quickly it just amazes me. I feel like it was only yesterday we got engaged and now we have been married for over 5 weeks.  Crazy!!!  I thought it would be fun to do a quick review post with some of the fun things we did this year.  I am hoping to do a review post for my new years resolutions too before the year is out.  So here goes...

December - so far December has been busy but I don't seem to have a lot to show for it.  I have done a bit of sewing and a bit of baking but that's about it.

2011 has been a busy year and it has pretty much revolved around prepping for the wedding.  Now that the wedding is over and I am really excited to see what 2012 has to bring.  Hopefully it will mean us moving house because our current one is getting a bit small for us.  I am also hoping we will be able to do some small holidays to explore some new parts of Australia.  Who knows what will happen but I have a feeling it is going to be a great year!!!
