back to life. back to reality?

We returned from paradise in Indonesia and found a pretty great consolation prize..Sydney in the springtime!!!! I nearly forgot what it was like. Springtime is absolutely perfectection here. The weather is turning warmer (I've already worn my swimsuit twice. okay, it was briefly and just in the backyard. I think I'm willing summer to arrive) and the tourists have not arrived! My spring is really shaping up nicely........ . . . . . . . . . . . .

My dear friend Jocelyn heard the beach calling fom the inner west and moved just ten minutes away to Clovelly! I smell dinner parties and beach walks and coffees and wine and card games galore.

Chunky has arrived and loves every single thing about his new life: swimming in the ocean, bbq's at the beach, the dog park just two minutes down the road, the bats he wants to eat, the birds who dive bomb him at the park, house parties and lounging around the house with his family. It's really great to have him here and I don't think Warren has stopped smiling yet. ;)

Warren is busy busy with school (he finishes in early November) and seems to find a grand new opportunity at every door he passes (nothing new there) ;). My life is overflowing with fruit and veggies and thoughts about my next steps in life, my next travel destinations, and our future geographical whereabouts.

This Sydney spring, we are planning a wedding. in our way. at our pace. for Louisiana's next spring. This includes afternoons in the city looking for studly suits for Warren, evenings with wine-itunes-private dance parties while we make up a rockin' play list, and many skype conversations with mommas back home.

I guess Sydney will do. ;)
