Times, They are a' Changin'

Times are a' changin'. Time is a strange thing that seems to sweep us away without us even being aware. In the last little while Jordan and I have learned that time is making us wait to go back to America. We'll have to wait for my visa to be processed while we're still in Australia and that could take months - but based on the way that I've seen time work, it shouldn't really be too long.

In the last little while, Jordan and I have went on a walk with the Ellis' (some close friends of mine)




Sophie (my baby sister) had her high school graduation

Deb arrived from the US




And in two short weeks I'll be married to my best friend...




Time really is strange.





Jordan's been sporting an Inigo Montoya look (compare them here)



And when might you ask will he rid himself of the stache?






I guess only time will tell

Another Four Weeks Passed

It's amazing how quickly time escapes when you're busy. Seriously.



Jordan made it here safely and we've been enjoying our time together when I'm procrastinating my final assessment for my degree.


I've been under strict instruction not to publish any of his pictures until he updates his blog... We will see when this will happen. Here are a couple of my pictures!



Walks on the beach near my house

Halloween has been part of the traditions of my extended family for a long time, as my uncle is Canadian (we don't celebrate Halloween here, though in recent years it's become more popular). On the night of October 31st, my gran came for dinner and my mum was given strict instruction to ask Jordan to open the front door, so he did. This is what he opened the door to:



How cool is my grandma? 



We also had a surprise visit from some local children -



Sophie was scared....



See how Jordan's nephew, Maxwell dressed up this year for Halloween (you won't regret looking) by going Here

So I've been sitting here, slowly getting through my work, while Jordan has been painting the house, watering plants and shovelling dirt. We're hoping that he'll soon find a job. I go back to work in 2 weeks. 


And our wedding is only 5 weeks from today! Eeeep!
