Month Seven Report



I check in with the girls from time to time to ask them how they feel about going home at the end of August. Tess put it best when she said, "I'm happy and sad but more happy." I feel like I'm living a double life some times. I know we're going home soon. I'm excited to see friends and family and get this guy back.


At the same time, I'm not done with Sydney. I love this city, this country, and the opportunities we have had living in this part of the world. July was a wonderful month for us. We loved our trip to Bali. We returned home to several weeks of beautiful sunny weather. Winter may be cooler here but the trees are still green and the flowers are in bloom. 




While the beach may be cold for swimming it's great for long walks.


Brian and I even made to see "Of Monsters and Men" in concert.


We are savoring the time we have left. We chose not to make a "bucket list" for fear of finding ourselves disappointed by what we did not end up doing. We have made our choices. We went to Bali instead of Thailand. We chose Uluru over wine country. We still have some big plans in store for August. It is one eight of our time here after all. Still we want to make sure we spend time appreciating stunning Sydney, beautiful Balmain, our wonderful everyday life, and our dear dear friends.
