Notes - I was born in St Helen?s Hospital in Auckland on the 24th of March 1977. I spent all of my early childhood living in Massey where I attended Lincoln Heights Primary School. I lived a typical suburban life when I was a child growing up in the 80?s; which generally involved making our own fun as we didn?t have all the material things that the children have today.
In 1991 I started high school (Massey High School) located in Auckland. I went through to 6th form to gain my 6th form certificate. I left Massey High School at the end of 1994 and started a Tourism and Travel course at Unitec in Auckland. After completing a year at Unitec, I decided this wasn?t for me so I decided to go out into the big bad world and get a job.
My first job was working for a small Marketing company in Parnell as a Receptionist. I worked for this company for approximately 1 year and then went on to work for another company in the car leasing industry. After 1 year in a receptionist position; I was promoted to a Customer Rep and continued to work there until the beginning of 2000. I then left for a new challenge and joined a document solution?s company as a Personal Assistant in Auckland city.
At the end of 2000 I got itchy feet and thought it was time to start my overseas travel. I had met Matt a few months beforehand so we both decided it was the right time to head off overseas together. Matt and I arrived in London in August 2000 and decided to stay a total of 2 years. I worked for a recruitment company and Matt worked as a Sales Consultant for a Copier company. We both enjoyed our time in London and made the most of our time by doing a 1 month trip around Europe along with various weekend trips once we both had established jobs. However homesickness kicked in late 2002 and we both decided to head back home.
Matt and I arrived home in December 2002 and rented a house in Henderson Heights. I obtained a job with a city based recruitment company and Matt started working with my father (Paul Craggs) to help build a small recruitment business. I later joined the company as a Consultant in late 2004 and made it an official ?family business? with both Matt, Paul, Gail (my mother) and myself all working together.
Horrifically half way through 2003 Matt suffered from a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and was in hospital for approximately 3 weeks. He had successful surgery and made a full recovery. This however put things into ?check? for us and we decided it was time to get married so approximately 1 and a half years later we got married. We got married at Grace hill Vineyard on February 11 2005.
In late 2006 I became pregnant with our first child. She was born on May 23rd 2007 (1 day after my due date) at Waitakere Hospital in Henderson by caesarean section after a gruelling 2 day labour. We named her Caitlin Sienna Bolton and she was born happy and healthy. Caitlin is now almost 2 years old.
I am currently working 1 day a week in our recruitment business and spend the rest of the week at home with Caitlin. Matt is now a Director in our recruitment business alongside my father. We currently own our own home in Lake Panorama, Henderson, Auckland and plan to have more children.
