Travel Bug

We just recently caught the Travel bug. Here's what we have planned over the next 6 months...

The first stop...AMERICA! Oh America, how I miss your 89 cent, 32 oz fountain drinks, Wal Mart, and MY FAMILY!! This is the trip that I am, by far, looking forward to the most! It has been 1 1/2 since I have been to my homeland and I am so excited to catch up with my family and friends and spend the festive holidays in the cold weather (Queensland is disgustingly hot in December).Next stop, Thailand. This my tour guide aka Hubby. He has been there several times and knows all the great places to go. We are also going with our good friends David and Courtney. We are sooo excited!

And the next place we want to go to...Japan! This is where Heath served his mission. He is currently studying secondary education in Japanese so he continues to speak Japanese fluently.

Till then...54 days till America! I can't wait to see you all!!

Babies!

All of our young married friends have babies! Matt and Jade have Pacey (4 months), James and Amy have Weston (4 weeks), Brad and Lechae have Peyton (5 weeks), and Angela and Alex have Riley, just yesterday! So, as the single married people (does that make sense?), we are the designated babysitters! We love our friends' babies and are always delighted to babysit! (As long as we can give them back at the end of the night)

Recently we babysat for Matt and Jade so they could go on a date. We had dinner together...

We took lots of photos together...

We played together...
And had a really great night! I hope this makes Kim and Ethan a little jealous of what they're missing out on :) Pacey fills the void of the nieces and nephews I left in America. I can't wait to play with all of you!! And meet the little Miss Ava and Miss Ivy

Remember that 1 year anniversary we had 2 months ago? Well I was going through the camera and this is what I found...Our two person spa bath :)MarketsBeautiful beach

And to top off a great weekend of celebrating our first year, we ate MEXICAN! My hubby knows what I love. Unfortunately, the food didn't compare to the authentic Arizonian mexican food, but it satisfied my cravings till December.

Thanks for a wonderful first year (and two months)!!

Netball Grand Final

I haven't blogged about the whole netball season but it has been a lot of fun. We have had our ups and downs of wins and losses, good and bad refs, but all in all, it was a great season! Not to mention we won the Grand Final 32-19!! Here are a few pictures from the Grand Final... Me, wing attack (WA) trying to block someone

Heath and Jade Krok passing back and forth to each other like natural basketball players

Cody and his dreads...love it!!

Heath, scoring us some points!!

#1!!

They gave us glass mugs for winning

Congrats to Team Chaos!! I look forward to the next sport....indoor soccer!

One year

Can you believe its been one year since we were sitting out in 112 degree weather taking wedding photos?!

It has been a wondful first year of marriage! Thank you to my loving husband for remembering to put the toilet seat down, teaching me how to cook and hang clothes up on the line, and loving me unconditionally (even when I'm grumpy). I love you HEAPS!

Something new..

I am now playing netball!

What is netball you say? Well, netball is like basketball, but a simpiler version, and mostly played by girls. There is no dribbling and no running with the ball, and no backboard on the hoop! I'm not sure on all the details of the game yet, but I will learn! All my sister-in-laws are playing, as well as Heath and Cody (we're playing a mixed team). I'm excited to start exercising and learn a sport I've never played before.

First game is Monday!! More posts to come...

Its your Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my Hunny! He turned a quarter of a century on Sunday.

He is number 11. He plays for a local AFL (Australian Football League) team, the Yeronga Devils. His team mates call him "Heater" because he can turn on the heat and run really fast!

His birthday treat, complimentary from Lonestar. Yum!

You are talented, smart, handsome, funny, athletic, and fun! I love you heaps and heaps!

Bachelorette Party!

I decided to throw Courtney a little Bachelorette Party in Brissy before she leaves! It was a pretty eventful night.

The Bride-to-be and Mommy-to-be

All the preggers women...which was most of our guests! haha

Courtney got me a stripper, so I decided to return the favor! (This is our friend Sam that Courtney doesn't know...she really thought it was a stripper)

The partay girls

Garuvas...beautiful restaurant! We had our own private little room and we got to take off our shoes, kick up our feet, and relax!

Courtney and her two new sister-in-laws!

All the pregnant people went home and we stayed out and partied!

Sexy ladies!

I love dancing with my clubbing buddy!!

Happy Bachelorette Party Court! Wish I could come to America for the wedding....but I'm glad you're going to be living in Australia with me for the next couple years!
