Well, I had meant to do this before Jonathan came, but better late then never…

As you can see, this is (finally) the new blog promised! It’s now been a few years since the wedding, and now we are three! Helen and I are really proud of our gorgeous little boy… :-)

Below, you can see the tales of preparation for our wedding. Upcoming – Helen & I will regale you with life with a newborn!

Just a quick little one…

Mike on his scooter! Here’s Mike on our scooter…

Helen at Muri Lagoon That’s Helen (in the right hand side) out swimming in Muri Lagoon.

Up on Hospital Hill - great view from here! This is Mike and Helen at the top of Hospital Hill (the most easily accessible high point in Rarotonga – great views!)

All the fishies!!! One of Helen’s favourite parts of our resort – the balcony had a place where you could go and feed schools and schools of fishes. The waters were teeming with them!

At Trader Jacks... Trader Jacks – great pizza and an awesome place to hang out (especially when the heavens are about to open! :-)

Coming home now... And finally, waiting for the plane to come and take us back to Auckland.

Back home again…

Well we had a fabulous time in Rarotonga. Wonderful honeymoon destination. We spent our time getting brown on the beach, swimming in the lagoon, SNORKELLING!!!!! which was the highlight, kayaking, lying in the pool (complete with TV to watch sport and all), scootering all over the island etc etc. We will put a few photos up for you to see. We are in the process of compiling the wedding photos for display too :-)

From the new Mrs. Luxford…

We can hardly believe that after waiting 19 months we are now only 3 days away from getting married. The final preparations are underway. Mike and I are both off work now and enjoying this turn of good weather too. Please keep us in your prayers as we enter into this special time.

Hens and stags = fun

Thanks to everyone who took part in the day and night of fun yesterday! I had a FANTASTIC day – my sisters did a great job organising everything. We started off with pilates and kick boxing, then brunch at Mission Bay, followed by Speed Mini Golf. The highlight was a pamper party afternoon – highly reccommended. And topped off by a great evening with everyone turning Japanese. Cheers to all! Mikey had a fab day too, so thanks to you boys. Now we are in hard core preparation mode…..
