It's snowing in Melbourne



Melbourne is having a cold snap! Typical timing for the Hendersons - seems whenever we take a 'winter break' we freeze to death! Pictured here is lovely country Victoria, specifically Daylesford, and it's covered in snow at the moment! Beautiful! Bring it on! Unsure if Daylesford could ever be as cold as NYC was however I'm willing to test the possibility! It's been a while since I last visited Melbourne and I can't begin to tell you how excited I am! WOOHOO!

Choose a moving buddy - we're off to Hocking!

It's been a couple of weeks since my last installment so here's an update.

We are on the countdown to moving into our new place now - Only a week and 4 days to go now! I can't wait. I really can't. The termite inspection happens this Friday and then our final inspection is on Wednesday the 25th of July. Pending all goes well - Choose a moving buddy because we are off to Hocking! Opening all the wedding gifts will be like Christmas!

To keep our minds off the countdown we are heading to Melbourne this weekend to visit with family and friends. Saturday will be my first MCG experience as we are going to see the AFL match between Collingwood and Essendon. Then, on Sunday, we are off to my Aunt Abbe's country house for some R&R. Boy do we need it before the big move...

Raining cats and dogs...

Perth received the loveliest shot of much needed rain yesterday. I love those days - Perfect for just bunking down indoors and indulging on Meatball Soup! It's also great for the garden at our new house which should be looking very lush and green when we move in three weeks from now. It's nice to be almost through the process which has been relatively stress free to this point. We're just one termite inspection away from officially being home owners!! Hooray!


In other news, my little pest of a sister is all grown up at hits the age of 21 next Monday! How did that happen?! From the days of dropping toothpaste on her head in the shower to make all her hair stick together and telling her it was God to watching her blow out 21 candles! She has blossomed into such a beautiful, strong and admirable young woman and I can't wait to watch her continue to grow as a person. Happy birthday for Monday Crystal - It's nice to be home to sip champagne with you! This Friday night will be a blast! Bring it on! (In the picture, she is on the right holding Milo the poodle).
