In my journal you've probably seen me write about my brothers, my mother, friends etc..
I thought that so you knew who I was talking or bitchin' (*giggles* just kidding!) about, I would add some photos of the people who are close to my heart.. My mum, my brothers and their families.
That way you can get a visualisation..
In time I'll be putting photos of Bobbys family as well beacause they too are very close to my heart.
Hope you dont mind but at least you'll be able to put faces to names hey? :o)
Oh yeah.. And sorry too that the photos are a little big but you use what you got right?.. and better huge photos then no photos at all.
My MUM and JACK!!
Above is a picture of my mum and her boyfried Jack.
She is the most staunch, and most inspirational woman I will ever have the pleasure knowing.
I can honestly say that without her undying and unconditional love, her determination, her support and unrelenting advice, I'd have given up on life and all its harshness a long time ago.
God an award should be given to her for all that she's had to endure.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, a book could be written about this amazing lady
The handsome stud next to her (sorry... couldnt resist.. dont be shy now *giggles*) is Jack...
They've been together for shit,must be going on 14 years now I think.
I wouldnt go out of my way to get to know him and made his life hell there for a while but since then I've gotten my head out of my ass and he seems pretty cool. God how terrible is that!.. It only took me 11 years :oS..
Anyway.. As it should be.. they are the header of this page.:o)
Paul,Joe,Larry,Snow and Beagz..
In this photo you'll see my brothers that live in New Zealand..
From Left to right is..
Paul(32), Joseph(42), Larry(41), Snow (our baby brother(27) and Shane(Beagz..38)
Greg (who you'll see in the next photo) went over to NZ last month and took the pics for me.
Paul is a truck driver, His wifes name is Tania and they have three children. Anthony, Jamie and Allanah.
Joseph is a teacher and is heading over to Japan or China shortly to teach so he wont be at my wedding :o( His wifes name is Iona and they have two children. Joseph Junior (who lives in Melbourne) and Tyla who attend college in Napier..
Oh Yeah.. And Joe's a Koro too (that means grand father) his grand-daughters name is Conner but we call her Cleo.. short for Cloepatra coz her mum Nicky is of egyptian descent (How cool)
Larry is also a teacher.. He's going for his bachelors degree this year.. He's going to be giving me away at my wedding :o) His wifes name is Tania. They have no children AS YET but one day..
Snow.. Our baby bro is an engineer. Snow was only 2 months when dad was killed. Snows wifes name is Anita. They have two beautiful girls Thaila and Marianna. Anita is due to have their third baby in May.
Last but not least int his photo is Shane.. Fondly known by all as Beagz..
Shane is working in a mill back home and is thinking about moving to Australia.. YAAAAAYE!!!
His wife Mahalia is one of my brides maids.
They have five children.
Oneilia (bubbah girl), Connie-Cay (Connie), Carrisa (Tick), Dylan and Kateya..
Shane also is going to be a koro in October of this year.
This is my family back home.. I miss them dreadfully and cant wait to see them in September.. Well.. most of them will be there anyway..
Beagz,Paul and Greg..
You've met two of the brothers in the picture.. the other one that you havent seen is Greg(39)
Gregs wife's name is Lynda. He has four children.
Ricky, Jessy, T.J(Tony-Jane) and Joshua.
They stay 10 minutes away from us.
Bobby stayed with Greg and Lynda for four months and saved enough to fly us over from New Zealand, furnish our house and fill our cupboars with food. All in the space of a few months.. How terrific is that?.. In all honesty though. It wouldnt have been possible without their help.
There will be no way for us to repay them except by giving others in simlar situations the same break we got. Which we do.
Bobby is so greatful that he's asked Greg to be best man at our wedding, of course his answer was yes :o)
