Well it has been two weeks since I last wrote, I've really let the time get away from me. I was wanting to write this weekend, but it was a pretty busy weekend. Andreas and I have enjoyed several parts of Canberra that we hadn't taken the time to see until now.
A week and a half ago we went for a walk around the lake in the city centre of Canberra. It was already late afternoon and the wind was picking up, but it was still very lovely.
Then last Friday we went to Fleuride which is a annual flower show the city puts on every September. This is spring time and all the tulips, hycinths and daisies were out in full bloom. There were numerous gardens planted in beautiful designs and shapes.
This past Saturday was my birthday. 28 years now! At least I still feel excatly the same! Actually this has probably been one of the healthiest years of my twenties. I have not had a cold/flu since last October, about 11 months. It's a trend that I get at least 2-3 colds a year. Maybe being married and incredibly happy with my partner has boosted my immunity. Well I have read studies that say those in good relationships have stronger immunity.????
My birthday was great. Andreas surprised me with flowers, a lovely card, and mint chocolates. I recieved a pedicure and he also bought a yummy cake for the evening! My sister in law Cessi came in from Sydney for the night and she brought a nice friend Johanna along. We had a dinner that night with 4 other young women from C3 that we've met thru Change the young adults meeting. It was very special to have family and new friends from the country we're in celebrate with me.
Other than that Andreas and I have been working steady. He is working at least 38 hours a week, I work more like 22-24 a week. But it is good, we are very happy to be making an income. I am really enjoying my job at remedial therapy centre, and I also am really enjoying my job with Just Better Care. Mainly I have been doing respite for those caring for a parent with Alzheimers or domestic care for aged females. But I really enjoy meeting these individuals and getting to know them too!
