Cherry Blossom Adventures

I am a little late getting around to this, as usual! I managed to get a little bit done in July though so better update!!!

For my 101 things in 1001 day list and progress check here

22. Have a meeting with organizer at wedding and reception venue

We did this after Shumpei arrived! It was nice to see the venue and meet the lady that will be helping us get everything together. Shangri-la is lovely and I am really happy with it! Shumpei liked it also, and the best thing there is a hotel on site for international guests (and for us on our wedding night!)

26. Choose and buy wedding rings

We have choosen our rings and have started paying them off!!! Mine is designed especially to fit with my engagement ring so it will have diamonds and blue diamonds in it to match! My something blue will be my engagement ring (then wedding ring!) and Shumpei chose his by looking at a lot of pictures! He was especially happy when they told him it wouldn`t change colour in an onsen! hehehehe! This should actually be in August since we only did this last week?! Oh well it is written now!

27. Get marriage license/Celebrant

I changed this to celebrant because apparently you don`t get a marriage license as such in Australia but our celebrant who we met and choose last month (July!) does all our paperwork for us! It was great to cross some more things off the to do wedding list! Our celebrant is awesome- we are both so happy with her. She is just so nice!

31. Lose 5 kilos (5/5)

Done! Although haven`t been so good in the last couple of weeks but will be back on track from tomorrow. I promise! I have lost more than five kilos so far- yay!

37. Learn 10 new recipies (5/10)

I learnt another two recipies this month. Both were weight watchers chicken recipies that even my dad and Shun liked so that was good! I would do both of them again!

40. Learn how to keep a hula hoop up for more than 2 minutes

I can do this now- In fact I can probably keep it up for 15 mintutes or so without it falling!!! Yay for me!
41. Learn how to do at least one cool hula hoop move!

While I am not very good I can spin the hoop around my knees and neck and I can also bring the hoop from my waist up above my head around my hands although I can`t get it back down?! Working on that now! I can also spin around while hooping and move around too- I am gradually getting a little better so am happy!

47. Knit something other than a scarf successfully

I knit a baby hat! If you go back a couple of blog posts you will see it! I also knit booties but they didn`t turn out so great so I decided not to send them to our friend who had a baby- I will probably give them to my cousin for her dolls!!! It has made me want to get a bit more adventurous- I am thinking of trying to make an adult hat next- any good patterns?

59. Make sure dad buys a dog

Done! We now have Abbey-chan at home with us and she is delightful! Today we went to a dog park and let her run around with 21 other dogs! It was great fun and we are so lucky that it is within walking distance of our house!!! We all went this afternoon (Shun, me and Dad) and we will definitely  be taking her again. She also had her first vet appointment (since she has been with us anyway) and was very brave! I think she has a crush on the vet!

77. Keep journal going for at least a year

Done- and I will continue to keep it!!! I don`t write everyday but there are at least a couple of entries a week, most of which I usually write on the train on my way to or from work!

99. List 101 things that make me happy

I did this in my journal- I will post it one day on here!!!
