Hello friends and Family, have you missed me? I know that it has been far too long since I have caught you all up on Australian life, sorry for that... rest assured there has been good reason.
Life is going fine here. Today marks 3 weeks till I am home in SLC. Its so weird. I always find it so funny that you finally master the city and all it has to offer right as you are leaving it. I think that I have finally become a Melbourne city transit pro... I am able to get from point A to point B with out any problems and at an increasingly efficient speed. Ive also found that I know the city much better than I would have imagined. It is sad that my time here is coming to an end.
This is my last week of work. I have five more days to give it all I've got. To go out with a bang, as Casey likes to say. Well I am going to do just that... I will let you know how it goes :)
So Casey is going to be here in a week... I don't think excitement is an adequate word to use... I wish there was something so much more severe. I just cant wait.
Oh and about that... So for how many months have I been counting down the days till Casey's arrival? How many posts have I mentioned the amazing plans that we have arranged for the 2 weeks he is going to be here... like the Sydney Bridge walk, hiking in the Blue Mountains, Beach Walks on the Great Ocean Road, Snorkeling in Cairns, etc, etc..... WELL GUESS WHAT WORLD... NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
Casey was playing with Ole in the yard and thought it a good time to break his freaking ankle...IN TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS! Yep... 10 days before the adventure of a life time Casey broke his ankle. Poor Guy. Poor trip... I was so sad. I spent all of last week calling all of the places that we had made reservations with inquiring about one-legged options, most of which will be okay. We will not be able to do the Sydney Bridge walk or the hiking trips, but other than that its all going to work out. What a bummer though... So sad.
So that is what I have been up to. I went to the Pompeii exhibit last week and it was great, they did not allow photos thus there not being a post following the excursion. I have VIP tickets to a swanky personal tour of the Salvador Dali exhibit Tuesday, hopefully they do allow pictures.
I hope all is well in the U.S. of A. I am sure it is. I love you all and will see you all too soon.

I suppose I should tell you about the pictures... So this is Federation Square. It is one of the neatest building I have ever seen. Some of the locals don't really think that it fits in the city centre, I think its great! :) There is like a two block area next to the art centre that has Flinders station on one side and this building on the other side.. I would say its kind of the heart of the city. I would also say it is an architects dream to create. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
the building is real funky....
ReplyDeletecant believe you will be here back
in the states... you better come to
see us !!!!!!
Dear Sam,
ReplyDeleteI understand that Casey didn't break his ankle just a bad sprain which is so painful and swollen. That's life when you never expect something like that to happen and suddenly it does.
Can't imagine how fast the time has flew.
Christmas is just around the corner.
Love and Kisses, Grandma Rose
