Just You Wait

Hey guys.  It has been ages since this blog has been updated.  You can blame the University of Queensland for that.  Considering I have forked over a small fortune to them, the least they could do is give me some free time to update the blog.  Is that too much to ask?

However, that is all about to change: three exams down, one to go.  After Monday I am free to update at my leisure.  Luckily, many spectacular events are on the horizon, so, there are exiting* posts in your near future.   Just you wait.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a field trip all day to the Pine River Catchment, which was very informative and interesting.  After a long day, it was sooooo Grood when I got home to open tons of presents!  

Purse or dog?  You decide.



Ben is cooking me a delicious Indian dinner at this moment!  He offset my carbon emissions for my flight to Lindsey's wedding, and is responsible for those delicious Uggs in the above photos.  I like.

Important Things Which Have Happened Recently

1. Our baby bird left the nest!  I miss seeing him, but am happy that he is making his way in the birdie world.

2. Ben killed the pumpkin plant in a fit of weed-wacking fury.  So, no more pumpkin carving party.

That's all I can think of for now.  

Ship Life

Ben in the Captain's chair.

Priority drive!
Our reflection in the elevator doors.  There was never once a fingerprint on the doors.  They probably have someone dedicated to keeping them clean.
If you look carefully at the middle right hand side, it says, "Steering Mode Unknown".  Also, course change not acknowledged?  Hm.

Food

Yum yum.  You probably already noticed, but yes, that is 24 karat gold on that meat on the right.  For reals yo.

Ship Shape

These are very late, but here are some photos of the cruise.  It was unbelievable.  Talk about luxury.  I was going to post more, but Blogger has been snarky to me.  I might try to get them up later. 

Melbourne

We love love love Melbourne.  We did some shopping, sightseeing, and met up with one of Ben's colleagues and her boyfriend for dinner and drinks.   That first shot is the one I am going to send in to America's Next Top Model.
