Australia Preview

G'Day Mates!

There are so many pictures of our trip to Australia. I need time to sort through them. But thought I would post a preview of our adventure down under. It was the most amazing trip and I loved every minute of it! I can't even think of the main highlights because there were so many. But off the top of my head I will give some short summaries of the trip...

1. I don't know why people complain so much about the airplane ride because I LOVED it! Who can complain about getting fed every four hours and millions of movies to choose from. I would do it again in a second.

2. Staying on Mollymook Beach (Southcoast of Australia) and waking up in the morning to watch the sunrise.



3. All of the pretty scenery and beaches





4. Feeding the kangaroos (Yes...We are Kangaroo Whisperers)



5. Emily catching a shark on our fishing boat!!

6. Seeing sharks that ended up becoming dolphins--actually seeing every animal that lives in the ocean (whales, seals, sharks, fish, dolphins)



7. Going to "Wicked" in Sydney

8. Going to the Famous Opera House and seeing the ballet



9. Being with Nick's family was really fun as well. We laughed so much and everything seems so much funnier in Australia. Everything seemed to work out really well with our plans and the weather too.



***Side Note: I feel like this Australian pony and I are sisters. We have really similar hair. "Hey Pony...I like your bangs."

10. And of course being with my cutie Nick for almost two weeks!

There will be more pictures but I am already overwhelmed with how many we took because it is so beautiful there! I can't wait to go back some day!

And we have...

A College Graduate on our hands!!!
Double Major: History and Political Science. (And on the Dean's List)

Yes...he is a smarty!

We had a little celebration for his graduation at our house! Here are some of the pics.



It was Nick's sister Sarah's birthday as well so we switched the "U" cupcake shape to an "S" and sang to her! And we kept doing the "S" backwards and finally got it right.


Some beautiful ladies at the party (Carol, Grandma Wirthlin, and Emily)

The Murray family
Me...Nick...and my mom after graduation!
Carol, me, Nick, and Robert after the graduation!

I am so happy for Nick to be done with school (well until Law School starts that is). And I am so proud of him. It was a lot of stress, studying, and homework...but is was well worth it. It will be kind of nice for a while to just have both of us working and no studying. We won't know what to do with ourselves. (Except go to Australia on THURSDAY!!) See ya in the down under.

And...last but not least..."For He's A Jolly Good Fellow.":

Lately...

I haven't blogged in a while. Mostly because lately our days go a little like this...

We wake up and go to work and school
Come home from work/school and make dinner
Nick studies until 1 in the morning
I fall asleep on the couch
Nick carries me to bed
Nick brings me my toothbrush and I brush my teeth in bed

I can't wait for Nick's finals to be OVER! Graduation in 1 week!! Woo Hoo!

PLUS...I think I am losing my mind..



In the past two months I have been occasionally getting into the passenger seat of my car (when I am supposed to be the one driving myself somewhere!) I am just so used to Nick driving when we go places. Hopefully I will get my mind back and my life back in a couple weeks when there is no more studying after work.
