After waking up in Melbourne before 4am ( Justin was a little excited ,I think, as he was up and out of bed before 3am!) catching a flight to Bris Vegas where Craig picked us up from the airport. We were treated to a fantastic cooked breakfast then hurried to the shops for party supplies. Our guest were eager to arrive as before we had finished unpacking the shopping the first one arrived 35 minutes early followed closely by the next two, when the party was due to start over half the guest had arrived! We felt very loved by everyone and blessed to have such a great group of people in our lives.
