And Internet Makes it Official!

We finally have internet in the new house so I guess that means we have officially moved in! So many exciting things have happened in the past few weeks that it's hard to summarize it all in one post but I will do my best :)

• We had our first BBQ! Sadly, there were no shrimps on the barbie. Apparently this isn't actually a 'thing' here. Boo. We did, however, have a few friends over for some delicious steaks & hot dogs/sausages. Of course, Eric (Bob's brother, see below) manned the massive grill because neither of us actually know how to use it...manuals are for dummies!

• We got some furniture! Everything is still looking pretty empty but we do have the beginnings of a living room, dining room and one bedroom. More pictures on those as they develop (slowly) but for now please enjoy our chocolate brown leather couches that make you all want to come visit to lay on them!

• Bob did the dishes! We/I have attempted to develop a system in which whomever makes dinner does not have to do the dishes. This is typically observed 1-2 times/week but it's a fantastic rule I hope to extend to all times. Please all be sure to tell Bob how good he looks in the kitchen...

• We went for walks! A major highlight of Perth is that there are tons of parks and preserves dotted throughout the city. We have walked around our area and tried to investigate some of these places. Here is a shot from the hill behind/across from our house:

• We are coming to the US! Flights have been booked and bank accounts have been emptied--we're coming to the USofA! If anyone is going to in or around LA or San Diego 27 March - 4 April 2013 please let me know because we'd love to see you! Also, SoCal should probably start stock-piling Mexican food immediately.
