I wasn’t expecting that

on August 29, 2013 in · Culture Shock, Life Down Under · Comments { 1 } ·

Recently in one of the American Expat forums that I’m a member of, a friend posted a photo of a product that we all knew and loved back in the US but that hasn’t been available in Australia until just recently. The thread of comments from excited Americans was never ending! Then just days later, we had a new employee start […]...continue reading →

The Perks of Moving to Australia

on March 22, 2013 in · Life Down Under · Comments { 6 } ·

My sister and her kids visited Australia for the first time this past week. We had 7 people staying in our tiny apartment but it was wonderful to have them here and to have the opportunity to show them around my home and my life. Of course I was devastated to see them go. I basically sat on my couch all […]...continue reading →

It’s Raining Americans

Did I mention I have some visitors here? The lovely Amanda and super cool Stephen arrived yesterday morning bright and early. It was really fun going to bed at 4am the night before and then hearing my door buzzer go off at 7:30am. But, as soon as I heard Amanda’s voice on the other side of the intercom I was no […]...continue reading →

There’s that old saying “April showers bring May flowers, blah blah.” Well… in Australia, April showers don’t bring flowers. Because May comes right before the start of winter and everyone knows the prettiest flowers typically come in Spring and Summer. ANNNYWAYS… So if April Showers don’t bring May flowers in Australia, what DO they bring? They bring Amanda and Stephen!!! 🙂 […]...continue reading →

Saying Goodbye

on March 17, 2009 in · Good Times, Life Down Under, Sad, Mad, Bad · Comments { 3 } ·

I had to say goodbye to my parents today 🙁 I am lucky that they did stay an extra few days (they were originally supposed to leave Friday) but it’s still hard to say goodbye. The place feels so empty without their bags and clothes and stuff. We had such an amazing time with them here! In addition to the stuff […]...continue reading →

Week in Revew

on March 9, 2009 in · 101 in 1001, Life Down Under · Comments { 3 } ·

We’ve had a great first week with my parents! We’ve managed to stay pretty busy with just a few days of relaxation here and there which is always good. After a day at Darling Harbour and Wildlife World we relaxed a bit and then got geared up for the Bridge Climb. This was a surprise for my dad and it turned […]...continue reading →
