Time flys when you're having fun!
It has been a pretty busy time the last couple of years.
It started with a wedding. I figured 9 years was long enough ( I still dispute the 11 years claimed by Franceyn) and it was time I made an honest woman out of her, so after an oh so romantic proposal on the night of Franceyn's 40th birthday party, we arranged to be married in August 2003.
We also started with plans to renovate the house, and things were progressing quite well. After discounting the ready made "add a box" solutions we found a local architect whose work we liked, and what's more he was familiar with the macinations of our local council, notorius for approval delays. Several drafts later we are begining to see the sort of design we would like and prepared the plans for submission to Leichhardt council, and that is the stage we remain at, some 9 months later we are still waiting for the final yea or neigh from the powers that be.
Not having had enough excitement for one year we decided now was as good a time as any to look at increasing the size of our family. We had already been succesfull at increasing our own individual sizes so our thoughts moved to adding another O'Connor
Yes, it's official!
"You are cordially invited.." so read the invitation to the wedding, but in fact most people turned up out of sheer disbelief that Mark would actually go through with it . . . . . . . .
