Twenty!!!

Honestly its just crazy to think I've been at GTP longer than some of the employees at my job have been alive.
I know I'm not as active as I once was but I still see plenty of you in my virtual life and this place will always be important.

Couple of updates since my last post in this thread:

2017 survived another Open Heart Operation (7th since birth)
2019 I got engaged.
2020 my first son was born
2023 my second son is due
2023 due to be married

Woo! Congrats, mate.

Jeez, as I scrolled down I thought that was a pic of a huge bong. Never mind, it's just a huge column of beer.

[Shaun]

Nice to see you and the family doing well mate.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Thanks guys!!
Both Raffy and Maverick are tracking to be well above average on the height chart!!
Seems my heart was the reason I was short and not the genes!
I suspect it won't be long at all and they will both be way taller than I!!

Here is a couple of pics we got done recently that I would like to share.

 

[W3H5]

Beautiful pics.
I’m genuinely envious of boy childs. I want need a son.

I’m inspired to share, too

Having small ones is so meaningful. Life can never be the same after knowing the love of a child.

 

[SkylineObsession]

Congrats on the kids, upcoming marriage, GTP milestones and everything else!

It's kinda crazy watching people you've been talking with/reading posts from on forums go through milestones like these over the years.
I've been here on GTP since 2001 and been with the granturismo.com crew since 2000, but it sometimes doesn't feel as though any time has passed at all let alone more than 20 years. A bit scary really.

 

[Metalgear9493]

Congrats Dion, my long time friend. I remember the first conversations we had way back in 2004, when we were both beginning to totally obsessed with GT4.

Hard to fathom that was almost 20 years ago. Wishing you all the best, good health, and happiness!

You still into racing Gran Turismo?

Cheers from Daniel Holland (holl01)

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Wow, congrats on the kids and sticking around 20 years on GTP.

 

[JohnBM01]

Congratulations to you on your anniversary!

 

[Small_Fryz]

I missed my 21st!!!

Here is a recent photo with Maverick and Rafferty. 11mths and 3.5yrs. Raff wasn't a fan of the whole photo idea but Maverick was just so proud to be next to his brother.
They are dressed in an NRL Football (Rugby) team Jersey called "Cowboys" which was a present from my father who lives in North QLD Australia.

Now I'm 21, I can finally have a legal drink!!

 

[W3H5]

Congrats, Dion. Nice to hear from you. Your account can have a drink on me!

I hope Santa is kind this year and gives them some Roosters gear for Christmas.
