So I fell in love with an Aussie.
Then I moved permanently to Australia from Indiana on March 10th, 2011.
And now here I am, sitting on a couch in Lara, Victoria, Australia finalizing the decision to start recording my new life down under. With all of the adventures, joys, frustrations, mishaps, revelations and insights that come my way.
This is for all of you who wish to know what it is like to give up all the middle class comforts I had in cozy, midwestern USA (Indiana) for 39 years and give in to the calling to begin life here in Australia with my fiance and soon to be spouse (in August!).
Hopefully, I can educate dear family and friends (and others who wish to tag along- all are welcome!) on the things that go one here in everyday, Australian life that we Americans just have no clue about!!! Let's admit it, we don't know all of the states in Australia or even how many there are (7!), who the heck runs the country here, what Footy is or what a "slice" is (yum...)...or...
What's yummy for brekkie (breakfast) here? (see? learning new slang already!) I'LL BE SHARING RECIPES AND PHOTOS REGULARLY!
What is pouncing on the darn roof at night and scaring the bejeebers out of me! WAIT TILL YOU SEE!
What do I miss the most-est about the good, old Indiana? I WILL LET YOU KNOW, DEAR FRIENDS, IN HOPES IT WILL BE SENT TO ME!!! MAYBE I'LL SEND YA SOMETHING BACK!
What am I learning for health and physical wellness while practicing and studying herbology....I'LL SHARE AS MUCH AS I HAVE TIME FOR!!! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Spiritual insights along the way? OF COUUUURSE!!!! IF GOD SHARES WITH ME, I'LL PASS IT ALONG!
Until the next blog, I will enjoy my Easter weekend and wish you all a Blessed and Joyous Easter weekend. This is a 5 day weekend in Australia this year- Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday (it's also Anzac Day which in turn makes tuesday a public holiday, too ). Crikey! Try to get that back home! I will fill you in on Anzac day this coming tuesday...
Blessings to all. I'm going to head off and get some tea.....:o)
So happy for you and cannot wait to learn along with you. This is a fantastic idea!!! Love it! Happy Easter! Blessings,

I see you got my email ;) Can't wait to follow along! So excited for you, my sistah.
ReplyDeleteLoving what you've taught me so far. We learned from an Australian friend (who is a Irish Wolfhound breeder) that they don't do Christmas lights like we do in the States. He was always fascinated by the decorations here when he visited.
