Default as requested- family reeve , life after "get a new life"

ok so its been a long time since lots of u saw us on tv 10 months i think , as so many have asked me how we are getting on thought it was about time i told . but im going to make it brief as dont want to bore u & not that brill at words . firstly we are still all really happy & living in same house in mount creek only about 6 mins to the ocean & nice & easy for kev to take the boat out which he do most weekends , caught some fab tuna last time which was put on the bbq, we had the pool put in last april & finally kev & lou put aircon in for xmas so thats good , but summer wasnt to hot this yr thank goodnes.
kev is still in aircon & really enjoys it , think he likes the hrs more & to think he was a gm of a smash repair centre most his working life , he genrally stolls in about 4 in the arov & somtime earlier & no saturday , he has never had one second regret, i do still miss my mates. ok young louis now 18 , can go to pubs & clubs now as they are very strict here [which is good ] having time of his life spending wages as fast as he earns , passed his test first go bought a car which looks like a monster truck [pretty cheap] but gets him around , he is still instaling aircon with kev's subbie. but he likes it if they only have half days work so he can hit the beach etc, becoming a bit to much like the youg aussie boys[well some of them] im afraid , as some of u know he is planning to go back to uk with some aussie friends & also go see family in spain etc , what with i hear u say , well yes he hasnt much money saved & is hoping to sell car , we want him to wait untill later this yr once we get our citzenship , but can u tell the little bugger -no , anyway like someone eles said its all in the plan but hope it wont take place yet. all in all he's a good kid . now for nick coming up 22 . he took his driving test after louis as was never bothered back home but soon got to know that he would need to drive here , was so sick with worry that day in case he failed but he also passed first go [unlike me back home took 3 ok maybe 4 ]
the written test wasnt 2 bad boys got it 2rd time , kev first . ok it took me 3 . anyway nick has got a car , well i thought louis's was a monster but nick's take the lot its that bloody high i need a hitch up . as for work im very proud of him he has continued with his cabinet making & is doing great really makes some beautiful furniture, if any of u r brisbane way they have a shop in the vally called sac & lane they have pic's of the person who made the furniture & someone said that nic pic was on most ,must go have look for myself . thankfully he has no plans to take off . why the hell louis want to leave this great place beats me . i would rather go round oz first , but i think he wants to play the host for his aussie mates . anyway watch this space .
now me -- well im still enjoying being at home & really dont get bored as there is always somthing to do , some might think im a lazy cow as so many ask me if i work , im happy to be here & doing the wife & mum thing . love being here for boys ,kev , kev bought me a lovely little puppy which i called poppy she is a maltese so she is like a baby at the mo & keeps me busy , she even has a baby sitter !!!!!! spoilt little thing , she goes off to my friend hazel's who i think loves her as much as me .
we have been so luckly so far & really cant see things changing , kev & i have no plans to go back even for a hol , we have had loads of visitors this past 18 months which has been great , laura was here for 6 months so that was nice for louis , but have now decided to just be friends , one lot were a nightmare visitors from hell , they wernt really good friends but we thought we say yes to them coming to much to say about what happened but put it this way they wont be welcome back .
had last friends [best ] here in feb & we all went upto cairns ,well port douglas really did the reef again & had a fab time , also went camping for the first time on the beach at double island what a laugh we had , should be going again for easter . also went back to fraser island last oct with other friends i really love it there, its great having so many nice place which are not to far away . dont really go into brisbane much as im not a city type but have everything we need here .
i have made some good friends from this site & 2 lots are actually renting on this estate now so we have a good time with them , another has moved to jimbumba i think its called , spelling may be wrong but south of brisbane . its been funny as so many of u have now arrived in oz and lots of people stop us in the surf club or drive past house & stop & say hello had people even knock on door to say hi & talk about the show , think those programmes are popular back home , its not been on here ,but lots have .
anyway we all know we made the right choice by settling here & doing the show was a great help . we still keep in touch with our director & researcher .
well sorry so much for being brief , thats just the tip of the iceburge hope its not bored u 2 much , feel free to comment good or bad and any help i can give i will be happy to .
thanks for all who has asked about us .
debs , kev, nick ,louis & poppy xxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for the update Debs nice to know that you are all doing well - maybe Louis will go back for a time then come back again for the Citizenship thing. I think that as long as he spends a total of 2 years out of the 5 in Oz he can still do it.

Take care & maybe we'll bump into you again one day - you'll always be welcome on 'the other side' of Brisbane if you're down this way.

Cheers
