HAPPY AUSTRALIA-VERSARY!

That's right folks, it's been exactly ONE YEAR since we set foot in Australia. It's been incredible so far, and we can't wait to see what happens next.

Let's do a quick year in review:

-We both found ourselves gainfully employed despite a lot of excellent reasons why that shouldn't have worked out.

-We bought a car, some Irish girl's furniture, and rented an apartment with round walls on the beach.

-We fell in love with cricket, and learned the names and stats of all the Australian and Indian players.

-We experienced our first summer Christmas.

-We vacuumed up spiders the size of our hands.

-We discovered the joys of driving to the Grampians on New Years Eve when it was 42 degree C and we had a car with no A/C.

-We ate cheese, honey, chocolate and chiko rolls in Tasmania.

-I got shipped off to a flood in Queensland with the Red Cross.

-We followed cricket to Sydney and Adelaide.

-We continued to love our jobs.

-We started forgetting what American food tastes like.

-We travelled around VIC and QLD with Carrie.

-We fell in love with the Western Bulldogs and travelled around to watch them play.

-We toured the Northern Territory and fell in love with Outback Australia.

-We found ourselves using words like, "mobile [phone]," "chook," etc.

-We bought a brand new car with about 20 kms on it.

-We decided to attempt to extend our visas and stay an extra year!!!
