Meet Mr Mac

I'm so excited...it's finally here! My new Macbook Pro laptop. I had originally bought a Windows laptop just over 12 months ago, it wasn't long after that, that Jessica enrolled in a uni course and of course needed a laptop for her studies. Guess who handed over their brand new baby to her baby? I figured she needed it more than I did and I was very proud of the moves she was making to further her education in the field that she was working in. I just finished paying that little sucker off in November with the salary sacrifice program. It turns out you can apply for salary sacriafice every 12 months, so I went to my boss and asked if he was happy for me to go on it again. He had no problems, so here we are, with my even better, faster, shinier new Apple Macbook Pro laptop. There was a little drama attached during the purchase and delivery process (isn't there always), which meant I ended up with the very latest model for $200 less - I still can't figure out how that happened, but all I had to do was wait an extra week for delivery. The way the weeks are flying past - it was hardly an inconvenience.

The next challenge for me was to set up the wireless router for internet access for both Joe's laptop and my new baby. Again, a bit of a story, but I won't bore you with it, just let me tell you that I feel very accomplished - we now have three computers running internet and now the printer is also wireless so we can all print from any computer - I know, I know, I'm brilliant!!

I currently have 3 jobs on the go - baby shower invitations:

The 2nd is a 40th birthday slideshow for family in Victoria and the 3rd job; I'm really not too sure how to explain it. Its for a family reunion, so she wants caricatures of some of the family members who are travelling from interstate - it may be a little out of my area of expertise, but of course I'm going to give it a go - we'll see!

And just for fun, I did another layout of our beautiful Georgia Mae - at her cousin Libby's wedding she felt very special when she got to carry 'the brides bouquet' - she was an absolute delight the whole day, she had everyone in fits of laughter when she partied the night away, long after a lot of the 'oldies' had had enough! Love you Georgia girl xx
