Hello Darwin!


Oh hey Darwin!

We arrived last night and stayed at Brad's uncle + aunty's. The weather is humid and hot, my hair damp and limp, face and arms clamy.

Upon landing we found out our container of furniture & belongings has been delayed and won't arrive till early next week - so much for a easy move! Not to worry, with family here we can stay till our stuff arrives and then move into our new apartment early next week.

We're picking up our cars today (which were also freighted up) and looking for furniture (a new couch and outdoor setting), getting internet connected and checking out our apartment for the first time!

This morning we decided to go for a run - just a quick one - 2.6km (which we manged to complete in about 14 minutes) - averaging 5.46 min/km. Not to bad for a month of exercise and my first run in the heat!

Will keep you updated shortly. xx

Oh hey there 2012!

As I sit here in Nha Trang airport (Vietnam) and wait patiently for my flight to Ho Chi Minh, I think back on the last year...

So much has happened! I think about the fabulous friendships I've nurtured, my awesome family, my relationship with brad which has grown so much, my approach to food and fitness and my career!

2011 was fantastic! My 25th birthday. A fabulous friend's wedding. A holiday overseas. A trip to Darwin. Approx 4 fun runs completed. 3kgs lost. Too much cold rock eaten. A lovely Christmas spent with family. A new job. Commuting for work. Date nights and kisses. :)

I think of Brad's and my first little house in Geelong, our little vege garden and native garden. I wont miss the cold, or cruddy kitchen, but i will miss what it...

Our decision to move to Darwin for work in a few short weeks is becoming so much more real with a fantastic new job lined up for me and apartment hunting underway. This time last year I had NO idea I would be moving to Darwin in a year's time and I can't help but smile and think about what kind of amazing adventures 2012 will bring!

I say bring it on! :)

Ps Happy New Year from Vietnam! I hope your 2011 brought as much joy to you as it did for me an u had an awesome new years eve! :)
