It has been awhile since I have written a lengthy account of what we have been up to. So here it is.
Jeff’s little sister Carolyn has been with us now for just over three weeks. She has already mastered navigating her way around Brisbane. She started her Law Degree at the University of Queensland a couple of weeks ago and is enjoying it. The university is about a 1/2 hour car ride from our house but takes a little longer on public transport. It looks like she will be here for two years or more. It has been really nice having her around.
My current job with the Workforce Planning & Coordination Branch (WPCB) with Queensland Health is finishing on the 15th March. However I have been lucky enough to score another temporary role with Allied Health Workforce Advice & Coordination which is a unit under the WPCB so I will already know everybody. This contract is until 1st June but I am currently applying to some permanent positions within the Queensland Government.
Next weekend I will be in Caloundra for the annual girls’ weekend away. This consists of my mum and sisters, my Nan, my Aunts, and an assortment of cousins etc. I haven’t been to the beach for about a year which is really sad considering it is only 1 hour away. Oh well. Jeff and I will then be off to Hawaii for our bi-annual rendezvous with his family. This year we are holidaying on Kona Island (The Big Island) for 2 ½ weeks. I am REALLY looking forward to it. I just need to buy myself a new bathing suit and I’m ready to go.
My sister Melissa and her partner Mike have bought a new house together in Bardon. This is about 15 – 20 mins from our house which is better then the 30 – 45 mins it used to take us to get to her old house. They also bought a holiday unit at Sunshine Beach which is about 2 hours north.
This Saturday I am playing in our Softball Semi-Finals. If we win we will be going on to the Grand Finals. Will let you know how that goes.
Jeff and I celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary on 17th February. We went out for dinner and then went to the movies to see “The Good Shepherd”. Absolutely one of the most boring movies I have ever seen, which was really unfortunate because it had a stellar cast (Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Robert DiNero, Alec Baldwin).
Anyway, I think that is about all I have to tell you.
Take care
