Update...

Well...it's been a few days...so it's time for an update on my life. One thing that is really exciting is that I booked some tickets to go to Sydney. I'm going near the end of July and am going down for Casey's 21st. I was going to go in July anyways, so when I found out when Casey's 21st was, I thought I might as well go for that!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!! I'm very excited about it as you can see!

Yesterday at work I took a picture of a couple of my work friends Vanessa (who's comments you may have seen in my previous posts) and Simon. So I thought I would post it so you could all see a couple of the people I work with! Very thoughtful of me I know!

Tonight is Bible study night...I'm almost ready to go for that. I'm sure that I will enjoy it. Although I do have to say that I miss 614 Bible Studies with Sandra. I really enjoyed those a lot.

Oh...and I can't remember if I mentioned it before or not...but I got a good haircut from the girl by my work...not Melinda...but good.

Well...that's all for now!

This One Is For Vanessa

I am writing a blog specifically because Vanessa is holding me accountable to more consistant blog writing...and I would not want to dissapoint my readers.

It's been a good week. Tonight I'm going to Josh's birthday party as well as a housewarming for Josh and Lorelle. I am looking forward to it...should be good fun! I have to leave soon in order to do some gift shopping on the way!

This weekend I'm sure will be better than last weekend. Last weekend I was sick for all of it with Bronchitis...YUCK! So I'm sure that this one will be much more exciting than the last!

That's all I can think of to say for now!

I Miss Melinda!

Well...the time has arrived. I knew it was bound to happen sooner rather than later once I got to Melbourne...and now here it is ALREADY.

Wait for it...

I NEED TO FIND A HAIRDRESSER....I MISS MELINDA.

So I went to find one. There is one just a few doors down from my work that looks nice. So I booked an appointment. We'll see how it goes. I'll post about it. Possibly even a picture of the final result. I think it would be impossible to find someone that I love more than Melinda for my hair...but I'd be happy if I could just find someone good.

Hmmmm...maybe I'll even get them to do my eyebrows. We'll see how the haircut goes first!

The Game...

Oh my goodness...The Footy game was so good. Unfortunately the team that we were going for lost...So that part was not very good. I did however learn a lot of the rules and by the end could figure out what was going on without asking Claire!

Claire made sure that my first Footy experience was truly Aussie...so she bought me a meat pie to eat during the game...I did get photos of that...but they are on Claire's camera, so I'll have to post them later!

It was hilarious to hear the songs for each team (you were right Aunt Sandy they do each have a team song). We also had the craziest guy sitting behind us yelling obsenities for the whole game...it made for some amusement.

I could not figure out how to move the pictures down...which is why they are all at the top. Basically the pictures are...2 of the field, 1 of me and my housemate Claire, near the beginning of the game when our team was winning (there are some that I'll post later that we took after the game when our team lost and we were taking ones of us "in despair"...I however, was just not as in despair as Claire because I just took on her team!) And there is also a photo of Claire holding up a GOAL sign that we got at the beginning of the game. You held it up during half time and if the camera zoomed in on you then you won $5000. We didn't win...!

Footy!!!

I'm going to my first EVER footy game on Saturday with my housemate Claire! I'm very excited...I've only ever seen it on T.V. but Claire has tickets for us to actually go to the game on Saturday! I am quite excited...and promise to post pictures after the game!

The teams playing are Hawthorn (Claire's team she goes for) and Sydney. This will be an adventure. I also had an adventure today of having Pumpkin soup. Mmmmm...it was good!

I am truly looking forward to my first footy game and see what all the hype is really all about. Everyone here gets so into the footy. It's crazytown (in a good way of course)! Last week I went over to my new boss and his wife's house for supper (or as they say here 'tea') and their 5 year old son asked me to read him a book and it was all about Footy...so I feel somewhat informed of the sport!!!! Not really! But it was hilarious to see how much even kids get into the footy. He knew all the teams and even came out later wearing his whole footy outfit thingy!

Needless to say...I can't wait for Saturday for the game!

A Milestone!!!

So...I suppose this is a milestone...my 100th post! Well..I've officially finished my first week at my new job, purchased my car, settled into my new house. It's been good...and tiring! I'm really enjoying myself.

This weekend I'm going with Cate to a conference that she's speaking at in Geelong which is near Melbourne...but I'll get to travel and see another bit of Victoria so that should be great! I'm also going to try to do some more grocery shopping...now that I can drive it home in my new car! Yippee!!!

Today I was thinking a lot about what I miss from home. Reese's peanut butter cups! I definately miss those. I miss my friends and my family. I miss my squad kids...I miss Kanga. I miss going to the gym with my mom. But I'm really enjoying it here at the same time...so it is a bit of a funny thing!

Well...I should go...working on getting insurance for my car!
