Going Down Unda!?

This morning we were visited by lovely Mrs. Caitlin , still in pj's and bare face, we sat around enjoying hot morning drink chatting like little school girls. A wonderful start to my day I'd say.

So ready for some aussiemazing news?! 

Well, Andrew's father is an amazing athlete and just finished the 
Arizona Iron Man Race.

He got a call from the Australia Iron Man to do their race next year!

We wanted to be on his dads "pit crew" on this last one but Andrew was on deployment.

So guess what!?

next year.... December 4th... which happens to be my 24th birthday will be spent....

In AUSTRALIA! 

It will be so much fun being Andrews fathers cheer team!

I called my mom and told her and guess what she did.... being a sappy mom that she is...

she cried. yes she did, but tears of joy.

Thing is, my grandfather used to go to Australia all the time and bring me back koala bear stuffed animals and shits, ever since then my dream was to see no other country but Australia.

An embarrassing picture of me showing off my new Aussie shit with my doggie

In other news...

Andrew and I have started a travel journal. 

I got this idea from a lovely blog called Todays Letters in her post called

 things that have made all difference.

How it works is one of us writes whatever you wish to your love in this journal, something encouraging to make their day or a reminder of your love. Then hide it somewhere for them to just find randomly one day and make their day! Then they are tagged to write to you. It will be fun to keep track of Andrews little love notes in one little place.

I have a bad habit of keeping notes and letters, at my mothers house i have a box ( that I didn't want to move with) full of v-day cards, notes, love notes, and pen pal letters all starting back from 4th grade

Whats a weird thing you have held on to from your childhood?
