I actually don't know why I write "Rachel:" at the top of each blog since Kurtis NEVER writes anything on here. I've nagged him, trust me.
Anyways, we've just recently packed up our life in Australia, specifically at 384 Toorak Road. It was really sad. I've been saying my good byes to many things around our house or in Melbourne that I won't see anymore. I'm feeling very conflicted. I don't want to live in Australia, but I don't want to say good bye either. We've met so many amazing people here (Gier, Asso, Julia, Flo, Francesca, Aimee, Robyn, Ally, Angel, Andrew, Allysa, Peter, Laura, Pat, Gary, Buster just to name a few), reconnected with people (Lauren, George, Ally), fell in love with a great city, became addicted to tv shows, Tim Tams, trams and tree possums and made our first home here so it has been tough.
Packing up our things went well enough. We sold most of our furniture, unloaded the rest on Lauren and threw out as little as we could. The washing machine gave us some last minute issues, but that was to be expected. That demon wouldn't leave without a fight. AND the best part is that we got our whole bond back! Well, back to Lauren's house to live in luxury for a while.
Aussie Word of the Day: "Heaps" - means lots, but they say it all the time! Like they say heaps, heaps of times.
