Hi to all,
I can't believe how much time has flown!
Ryan and Ollie both graduated at the end of last year, I can't remember the last time I cried that hard! Highschool was an interesting time, with the boys ending up in different social circles as i'd worried, yet it seems my fears were unfounded as they managed to bridge those social barriers and remain the best of friends.
Ryan's now playing Rugby semi-professianally. He's in the under 21's NZ representative side and is off to play a tour in Australia and South Africa next month. We're so proud, and he's still very passionate about the game and gets a real joy out of playing. He's also involved in a serious relationship with, quite literally, the girl next door, Natalia Regan who he and Ollie used to play with when they were little.
Ollie's at university on scholarship studying to become a Pharmacist, and already has a job waiting at a leading Pharmacutical manufactureer for when hes finished his degree. He and his high school girlfriend, Aimee Victoria, have recently got engaged and Aimee's pregnant with my first grandchild! They're both young admittedly, but i know that they'll be great parents.
Alyssa is unfortuantely having to repeat a year as she took time out last year to attend the gymnastic world championships. She did really well and her coach beleives that with a bit more work Alyssa could be in with a chance to make it to the Olympics! Daniel is her number one fan and boasts about her to all his friends constantly. But this may also be because all the boys have crushes on Alyssa and Daniel's popularity ratings soar when people find out that shes his twin!
Daniel still plays guitar though hes switched to the electric variety. Hes very good and he, Helena and few friends started a band and are entering into the 'Battle of the Bands' in a months time. He's still a joker and seems to have a different girlfriend every week!
Helena's a sweet girl. A total mother hen to our new baby, but shes always been the child who would do anything to keep everyone else around her happy. She's a talented artist and sings in Daniel's band.
And yes, you heard me right - new baby. Isabel Roslyn is 8 months now and her arrival on the scence was quite a shock! We hadn't planned on having anymore kids after Helena but naturally now that Belle's here, we wouldn't change a thing.
Unfortunately things haven't been all good. My father passed away recently due to complications caused by the medications he was on for his Parkinsons, this was the reason Ollie decided to get into Pharmacuticals.
However, my father had a secret he hadn't told my family - he'd been investing in the stock market for years and when he died his brocker sold all the stocks and we recieved 2.3 Million from them!!!! Dad always did like to surprise us. So we've been able to move into a gorgeous 10 bedroom house on a lifestyle block big enough for Mark to try a hand at breeding horses, something hes always wanted to do.
Life is good.
Love
Anna, Mark, Ryan, Ollie, Alyssa, Daniel, Helena and Belle.
