The Good ol' Days, Laughing and Fancy Dress

Hey'up everyone!! :D

Just thought I’d update you as I need to keep into this regularly rhythm of posting that I've managed to maintain for several weeks! Also, this post is gonna be a tad picture heavy I’m afraid, still you might find some of it amusing!

Firstly things first, us! My good friend Dan (http://www.danriggs.blogspot.com/) - go there -now! has just done a little post about the best pictures of us four, very touching I know- and we love for it. This prompted me a little bit to tell some of the back story between us four and show all of you our humble beginnings!

Me and Ben have known each other since birth, really (our birthdays are a day apart, with Ben's being on the 17th of September and me the 18th) so Ben's a day old- and he'll never let me forget that! So Ben and I have actually been friends longer than Dan and Mark have been alive! hehe! (if you want to get technical!) Anyway, over the years Dan and then Mark joined our tight-knit group resulting in the four of us today. I can't remember in the haze of time exactly how long the four of us have been friends, I but estimate at least 12 years! Anyway, I’ve embedded a few pics of our 'early days' which I hope you'll like- nothing really changes does it?

Anyway, today we reach a new milestone, that's right- Dan's dressing up as a big, grey bear (bet you didn't see that commin' !!) In actual fact, all four of us are donning some fancy dress for Emma Humphries' Party tonight - before I forget HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!- (it was actually earlier in the week but hey, saying it now!) an so we're all quite excited about that. I know you'll want to see this so pictures will be taken and posted, I promise.

Oooo, that was a long post wasn't it? If you've reached the end- congratulations!

My love to everyone (shall I put lots of names?- awww go on!) inc. My gf Katie ( <3 ) and Ben (ben montage- coming soon!), Dan (he has a blog too!), James Doc ( a whizz at politics!), Sarah (she still reads! - bless, thanks for the comments!) , Christie (in Bermuda) fainting Katie (she might read this?) and sorry to anyone I've missed out!

God bless,
Matt
