3 month aussieversary

hard to believe i have been away for three months! i have met so many great people and it feels like i have known them most of my life!

things are pretty much routine around here. just enjoying working and saving up some money for my travels. work is going well, which is good because i have been working a lot. to be honest i have no clue where the time has gone.

megan celebrated her birthday yesterday. i spent the day babysitting then met up with her, fatima, pat and sandi for dinner. we ate at a small italian restaurant then went to the vegie bar for cake. it was some of the best cake i have ever had! it came with two scoops of ice cream, 'really WHO DOES THAT?!?!' http://www.vegiebar.com.au/ afterwards we went to see a girl named megan washington play at a place up the road. she is pretty good live. i am obsessed with her song clementine, however we arrived late and i didnt get to hear her play it. all in all a good laid back night. i just hope megan enjoyed herself.

the other day pat and i went to the alderman for the first time in a long time. i met the owner, lisa, and we had a nice chat about different places in the area. brunswick is a great place to live.

on a different note my parents will be here in less than 48 hours! hard to believe they are actually coming. grandpa is coming as well and we are all going to stay in a serviced apartment. they are ariving on sat (which is also daddio's birthday) and will probably just go to bed early. since it is grand finals next weekend i will have to work since it will be very busy. this means they will be staying here for about three days and then they are driving up to sydney to see michael and christine. they will head back down here after about a week, visit for four more days then it is back to the US. all together they will be here for two weeks then it will be time to head home. it will be good to see them.

spoke with helen the other day and she seems to be enjoying boulder. she has joined a new club and hopes to meet more people. i also received an email from maria and it looks like my nephew is growing at a rapid pace! he is due at the end of october (she is hoping he gets here before halloween so he can wear his chilli pepper costume... SO CUTE!) and is already four pounds.

well that is all the news i have at the moment. expect parental pictures in the next post.
