Well it's been a while since our last post but that doesn't mean we haven't been doing anything. So we decided it was time to add a new post and add some pictures.
Right now we are gearing up for Christmas this weekend. We found Betty's Christmas tree and set it up in the living room and Liz made us each a stocking. She stitched them both together, embroidered them, and stitched on all of the sequins by hand! She designed them to look like the stockings her family had as kids.
It's going to be hard being so far away from everyone during Christmas but we are looking forward to having our own Christmas. Since it's summer here we are planning on having a Christmas eve picnic (probably wouldn't want to do that back in North Dakota).
Betty is also coming home in January so we are going to have to give her back her house and dogs (we will miss both). We are going to be moving north to a house in Fitzroy which is right next to downtown Melbourne. Liz and I spent last weekend exploring Fitzroy and had a great time checking out the shops and cafes.

I have a sudden, overwhelming urge to start busting myths.
We will add a new blog post after Christmas to show any pictures we might have. Until then here are a few randoms.

Reminder that we live in Australia.
