Okay, I feel kind of bad/disgusted by that title… This past weekend was full of all kinds of adventures and was also a long weekend – ah the perks of being subject to the crown! We spent a lot of time getting Adam’s business closet finalized which included – surprise! – a trip to […]
The Egg Dilemma
One of the many necessities of living – anywhere – is knowing where to find your food. A convenient spot that we’ve found is literally 32 floors below us, the Woolworths grocery store.

Our Year Without a Summer
When opportunity knocks, most say answer. Well it knocked, and answer we did. About a month ago Adam was approached with an opportunity to work abroad, more specifically, Melbourne Australia. Frantically he calls me, explains and asks “what should I say?”. “YES, say YES!”. “What, now?”. “ YES NOW!”. Fast forward four weeks […]
