Birthday girl Bec - she loves the camera!
Me and glowing (pregnant) Mel.
The place is hopping.
Shae and Fi passing out the first round of jello shots.
There's the pool table and flat screen with a corner bar.
Mel's mom did the mosaic on this water feature in their back yard. Funky cool, huh?
Mel's brother Scott on the left and Waz on the right. Gotta love those heat lamps.
Bec, me, and Mel - love those Harris girls
Me, Lesley, Belinda, Julia (Scott's wife), and Mel.
Mel is my closest friend from work. She lives in Hoppers Crossing (about 20 km west of the city) with her husband Waz. She has a very close family much like mine. There are three kids, all of whom live within a ten minute drive of each other and their parents. You're loving the sound of this, aren't you Mom? Someday! I hired a car Saturday afternoon to drive to Hoppers Crossing. Mel and I got ready together; then she, Waz, and Mel's friend Bel headed to the party at Bec and Brad's place. What a house! With a surround sound theater in the front room; pool table, flat screen, and bar next to the kitchen; and a hot tub off the deck, what's not to love? Music was piped through speakers located throughout the house and the crowd was fun and easy to chat with. I stayed the night at Mel's house and started getting the itch to have one of my own (a house that is).
