No fair! I would have guessed it if I had been online this weekend.

Ok lots of good stuff to report for this Aussie/American Duo!!!!

1. We moved into our new condo - We've never owned anything this big before...so exciting...Last night as we were eating dinner, I was like, "Did you ever truly imagine we'd have our own place and actually be TOGETHER?" We never thought we'd be able to do this...it's amazing. The condo is PERFECT. as our wedding gift, my aunt and my mom decorated and furnished the WHOLE PLACe. It's awesome. The bad part is that we don't have cable yet and WONT until May 2nd. Boo. AND since we are getting internet through cable...that also means no internet at home. On the bright side we are enjoying no TV and internet...it's not so bad :)

2. yesterday Stewart got a job!!! He was offered a job as a pharmacy technician at CVS. It's not the one he wanted but today he's going to call in to the one he DOES want and say, "Hey, i have a job offer...what's the deal." THe good thing is, either way, he has a job :) :) he's soooo happy. I think he was feeling kinda worthless in a way...which is silly I think, but I guess I can see where he's coming from.

Jodie - you'll get something soon :) I'll keep the MOJO coming!!

Not long now Cathy!!!!! I'm so stoked for you guys.

XOXOXOXO

Caroline
