Dad Howarth's Birthday!

It's Dad Howarth's birthday on Sunday 29th but as Jen is at New Wine from Saturday and Steve doesn't have the internet we thought we better publish a Happy Birthday message and a lovely photo today instead.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

How old is it this year? 21 again?

A long overdue update!

I just thought i'd log on and have a look and it seems we've been rubbish in updating our blog...so sorry!

Life has been a little busy lately, I finished my degree and am now a quailifed teacher - eeek!

This photo was taken on our celebratory night out with my tutor group!

I'm at home in Bristol for a month or so to earn some money and go to New Wine to work with Compassion for two weeks, then its back to Canterbury to start my new job in September. Steve is fine, very busy at work but soon to have two weeks off to enjoy CUTS and annual leave!

We managed to fit a trip in to Norwich to go to Party in the Park with the family - a lovely evening, lots of laughter but lots of midges too!!!!

We also went to our friend's wedding on 7th July- Chris and Helena. It was a beautiful day and they looked so gorgeous. It made us even more excited about our own next year!

Finally, my sister's wedding is fast approaching and we enjoyed an evening at The Races in Bath to celebrate - i won £2 and Natalie won £27! I couldn't believe it especially as i bought her the tote voucher she bet with in the first place!!!

Have a lovely time at CUTs everyone who's going and we'll be sure to catch up with you all again soon!

Natalie's Birthday!

Happy 23rd Birthday Nat!!!

It's Natalie's (Jen's sister for those who don't know) birthday on Tuesday 29th May so we thought we would post a photo of her and her hubby-to-be to wish her a very happy birthday incase we forget to ring her!

As if we could forget you, Nat! lol!!!

A few days off...

We finally had some days off together over the weekend, although Steve is working today and tomorrow so our weekend was Friday and Saturday. Anyway, Friday was a gorgeous day weather wise so we went over to Dover and walked along the cliff tops (good exercise!) If you ever get the chance, visit the white cliffs at Dover. The views are beautiful!

On Saturday we went across to Sandwich to visit Sue and Quentin who were camping there with Canterbury Baptist Church. It was great to catch up with people we haven't seen for ages, and although the weather wasn't great, the men got in a game of golf and the ladies managed to do a BBQ for when they got back (Tracey and Jen are the BBQ Queens!!)

Mum Howarth's Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRETTY LADY!

It's Mum H's Birthday tomorrow...we won't tell you all how old she is but it's not as old as next year!

(Don't worry Mum, we'll be sure to celebrate in style then! Hee Hee!)

Hope you enjoyed your weekend with us, it was lovely to see you. Enjoy your day tomorrow!
We love you lots! x x x

Jen's New Job!

Watch out future generation...this is what your teachers are like!

Good Luck kids!!!!

Jen only has a few weeks left of her degree and is really busy at the moment writing her dissertations but she does have one thing sorted...a new job! From September she'll be a year 1 teacher at an infant school in Ashford, not far from Canterbury.

North Devon

For the Easter weekend we went to North Devon with Jen's family. We stayed in this new wooden lodge and went out and about to Bude. Weather was great and i managed to get in a game of golf with Dad, while Jen and her mum went shopping!

Easter Break

While i was down in the west country for the Easter break Jen and I went to Longleat for the day to meet up with the rest of her family (See above!). We had a great time and we both recommend going! But watch out for the monkey's, they could wreck your car!

Jen's North Norfolk Coast Trip

Once again Jen and I were in Norwich for the weekend as it was mothering Sunday and any excuse to catch up with the gang!!! On Saturday we toured the North Norfolk Coast starting at Great Yarmouth and ending up at Cromer as Jen hadn't seen it before. We have now decided to have our honeymoon in Hemsby!!! (Jen's choice!). Another great weekend in Norwich!

Birthday Boy!

I am now officially getting old! Last Saturday 3rd March i was the good old age of 26! And before the jokes start coming no i didn't get this outfit for my birthday! No in fact they are my pj's!

Jen and I went back home to Norwich for the weekend and had a great time meeting up with friends and family as well as sorting out my two best men for the wedding! Am well chuffed boys! It's going to be great fun!

Plans for the wedding are going really well and rooms are now block booked if you dont already know!

Wedding Update

Well for the last couple of weekends jen and i have been busy going to wedding fairs and we are getting very organised for our big day next year! Both the church and the venue is booked and now we have booked our wedding car (look left!!! he wishes!) and also the photogragher. All the big things are out of the way apart from the dress, but obviously thats not my department!

I am going to be block booking the rooms at our venue next week so will let you know when you can phone up and book your room.

Busy Week!

Hi Bloggerteers! Jen and i appologise for not updating our blog since we first lanuched it, as you can see we have been vey busy!




Jen has been busy with work at school and at home as she nears the end of her 9 weeks of placement. As for me i have been working a lot of nights and can now fall asleep anywhere!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

As it is valentine's day tomorrow we thought we would tell you how Jen and I first met. We kind of knew each other from the Christian Union at uni but it wasn't until we went to a Christian event called Momentum in summer 2005 where we got to know each other better over a game of frisbee! Oh yes i know how to treat a girl! I wooed her with my frisbee skills!!!

Happy Valentine's Day to you!
