My Jewels

I am so proud and excited about my wedding and engagement rings, I couldn't wait to share them with everybody! My engagement ring is a white gold custom made diamond ring, TDW of 1 carat in a halo setting around a 1/4 carat Tiffany's diamond. There is a total of 24 diamonds in this ring, in numerology terms 2 + 4 = 6, 6 means love in numerology. 

My wedding and eternity rings were also designed by me, they each hold 15 diamonds, 1 + 5 = 6 which means love and when you all the total diamonds in all three rings together it adds up to 9. A 9 means endings in numerology so to Brad and I, this means that we will be together till the end. 

I can't tell you how I feel when I look at my rings. Not only have they got so much personal meaning to my husband and I, but they also look so stunning together that they make me feel so blessed that an amazing man thinks I am worthy of such beautiful jewelry. It has taken a long time for my self-worth to build up to the point that I can believe that I am worthy of the rings of my dreams; I am so blessed and so grateful for what I have in my life.

I Did It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I successfully completed the 36 floor abseil to raise money for Save the Children - Australia dressed as Batgirl. It was a lot more daunting than I thought, 140 meters above the ground is quite a ways and I was glad that I wore the face mask because when I tried to look down whilst dangling there, the mask obscured my view and I couldn't see how far I could possibly fall! The entire thing was organised wonderfully and I was particularly impressed with the abseiling staff. They were all complete professionals and I felt so safe and secure under their capable guidance. Well, as safe as one can feel inching my feet off a ledge 140 meters above the ground. 

The rope that went from the top of the building to the ground was incredibly heavy, 25 kilos, and I simply couldn't push it through the "whale tail" metal thingy to propel myself down, I don't have the physical strength in my upper body yet, so the wonderful team did all the work for me and gave me a thrilling ride down so I could bounce off the glass and whizz down as fast as I wanted. 

On the whole it was a fantastic experience and I was so incredibly touched by the support, both financially and otherwise, that I received from my friends and family. I raised a total of $1560 to help Save the Children and since this is the first time I have ever done any fund raising like that, I am blown away by this amount. 

So my two big celebrations for my 12 month transplant milestone I have achieved; getting married to the man of my dreams and doing a big adrenalin inducing event. What's next for me I wonder??????

Announcing Mr & Mrs Stone

On the 4th of May at 6.00 pm my amazing fiancee and I eloped at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas. Whilst in hospital recovering from my transplant an entire year ago I decided that I wanted to have something big to look forward to for if I made it to 12 months, so Brad & I opted for an overseas holiday. We had been engaged for a while so we decided to combine the holiday with our wedding and make it our honeymoon! 

We flew into Las Vegas on 1 May and stayed at the Trump Hotel and then got married on Saturday 4 May. The next day we did a tour to the Grand Canyon, which was breathtaking, then we flew to Auckland, New Zealand on Monday. We did the Auckland Harbour Bridge climb while there then we arrived home on Saturday 11 May, just in time for Mothers Day! 

My husband and I had a fantastic trip and I am very proud to say that I designed and made my gown, I decorated my shoes and I also make my birdcage veil and feathered headpiece; it was so much fun and so interesting a project to undertake. I'll be posting some pics of the process I went through soon. 

Life is good!

Love

12 Month Celebration!!!!

To celebrate 12 months since my successful double lung transplant I have decided to participate in an ultimate adrenalin challenge, abseilling 36 floors down the 'Gold Tower' at 10 Eagle St, Brisbane on Saturday 18 May 2013 dressed as Batgirl!

I am aiming to raise money for charity and I would welcome any contribution, great or small, that you could make!
