33
So, I’m 33 now, I’ve been 33 for a whole 33 hours nearly- well less really if you take into account time zones and things like that, but either way you slice it, it’s happened. In my mind, I’m officially a grown up age. 32 was always the age of no return for me- my…

Every now and then, stop and take a moment…
And realise how happy you are and how exciting everything is. That’s my mantra for the moment because everything is such a whirlwind of packing, congratulations, birthday, planning, etc that I’m not sure if I’m actually taking it all in. Every now and then I have a moment where I pause and say to myself,…

Is there anything else we can cram in???
Ok, so if I’m honest this past week has been a blur of whirl of excitement about a million questions, wedding research and if that wasn’t enough, oh yeah, we’ve decided to move house as well. First of all, yes The Runner and I got engaged. It was absolutely the most perfect proposal and a beautiful day and experience—it…

How was your weekend?
Well, Well, Well….. THAT was a weekend and a half! I have to say, that was probably, if not definitely the best weekend of my life. A HUGE thank you to the staff at Qualia and Hamilton Island and Hamilton Island Sea Planes for making it such an amazing trip. And what a trip it…

Quaaaaliiiiiiaaaaaa
I’m so excited, today- well this weekend we’re heading up to Hamilton Island to stay at Qualia— apparently, it’s been voted the best resort in the whole wide world! To say that I have high expectations, is an understatement. To say that I’m excited, is like saying that the Pope is religious. I’m jumping out…

A taste of Harmony!
One of my favourite parts about living in Australia is the diversity of people, food, and culture. Just look at The Runner and I, and our American-Irish-Australian trio of passports. As you know by now, one day I’m whipping up a classic American dish like Sweet potato casserole and the next trying Irish soda bread…

Irish Soda Bread??? I hope!
So, my third favourite holiday after my birthday and Thanksgiving is St. Patrick’s Day. Don’t ask why, but it is. It’s a pretty big deal here in Sydney, especially since 60% of the people The Runner and I know are Irish (as in actually from Ireland) so it’s a fun day out. Like all holidays,…

Me time and A bit of a let down…
Well, as you know I finished Les Miserables last week, after a long, drawn out battle with the book. I have to honestly say that now that it’s over, I really enjoyed the story and in the end, it was worth it- all 1600 pages. So this weekend while The Runner is away cycling…

Mission accomplished!
Yay! I am triumphant this week! Not only have I finished Les Miserables but I’ve also done yoga and exercised 6 days in a row! I have to say Les Mis is what I imagine childbirth to be like, overly long, a bit boring and very painful but quite rewarding at the end. And like…
